F4A40/50 SERIES
NEW PLASTIC BODY SOLENOID
CHANGE: In the 2000 model year, some Mitsubishi F4A40 series transaxles were equipped with a new
design Plastic Body Solenoids.
REASON: The reason for the change was for calibration issues. The flow rate of the plastic body solenoid is
1.8 liters per minute. The Previous design Metal Body solenoids, which are still in use on other
models, flow at 2.5 liters per minute.
PARTS AFFECTED:
The solenoids are the only change and are model dependant. Refer to Figure 1 for the identification
of the new solenoid. The part number is etched in the end of the solenoid casing. See Figure 2 for
the Solenoid locations on the valve body of the F4A series front wheel drive models
INTERCHANGE:
The two different solenoids are not interchangeable because of the flow rate, although they will fit
in all of the valve body bores. Refer to the chart in Figure 3 for model applications of both versions
of the Solenoid.
