I guess Chrysler decided that PT's weren't blowing up enough of the already too weak 41TE's and pulled out some clutch packs I believe, making the new tranny a 40TE, having a strength rating of "0"! Late model PT's have this tranny, that includes yours.

I hope your warranty covers bringing the tranny back to the dealer in a bag... The 41TE blows up in normal driving. Neutral bombs on a weaker transmission probably aren't a good idea IMO.

Yep, I agree. Weak link made even weaker.
