What automatic transmission will interchange with a 2009 dodge caliber 2.4 engine?

The 2009 Dodge Caliber with the 2.4L engine typically used a Chrysler 41TE automatic transmission. However, there might be slight variations depending on the specific trim level and options.

Important Note: While other transmissions *might* physically bolt up, they are extremely unlikely to be directly compatible without significant modifications. This includes the correct torque converter, control modules, wiring harnesses, and potentially even the driveshafts. Using the wrong transmission can lead to serious damage to your vehicle.

To ensure compatibility, you must verify the specific transmission code from your vehicle's VIN or from the transmission itself before attempting any replacement. A parts store or a mechanic can assist you in identifying the correct transmission. Simply looking for a "41TE" won't guarantee compatibility across different years and models. Even within the same transmission family, there can be internal differences.

Attempting to install an incompatible transmission is strongly discouraged due to the high risk of damage and the complexity of the task.
