Hi, and greetings from Finland!

I'm trying to find out when the TE41 transmission in the 2002 Sebring was manufactured.

The identification sticker in the transmission's bell housing has the following codes:

TPKTK3104A1504
281AE
P04800281AE

I wonder if someone knows how to decode those numbers and figure out the year of manufacture. The car is Sebring 2002 2.0 (an export model).

I'm interested in the year of manufacture because the 41TE transmission has been upgraded in many ways during the recent years in order to make it more durable and reliable.

Thank you for your help!

Ville

PS. This is my first Chrysler I bought used and I'm surprised how good and smooth the shifts are despite the age of vehicle and mileage. In my experience the shifting quality is generally better than in European or Japanese automatics I've driven before. (like VW with 4 speed 01N, Volvo V70 with 5 speed Aisin AW, Nissan Primera and Almera with Jatco RE4F03A.)
