Pros	It's an auto with OD
Cons	OD is too tall, it's a clunky trans but it's not so bad
Recommended	yes

Comments: It's an okay transmission, if it wasn't a pain to swap in an AW4 or manual I would have done it already. Clunky and slow shifting with a stupid tall OD ratio.

I entered 15,000 for the price because that's how much I paid for my Jeep that it came in :laugh:

Comments: Came with the Jeep. Pretty fond of it. I'd like a tranny temp gauge and cooler but all good things in time. For now I'm more than happy wheelin an automatic

Pros	3 speed with overdrive
Cons	Not very tough, clunky, harsh shifts once in a while
Recommended	no

Comments: I bought my TJ with 12k miles on it, and the transmission seemed fine at the time, but a year and a half later when it had 28k on it the thing started shifting funny when coming to a stop. (It would neutral from second then drop into first)
My dad has worked for Chrysler for going on 30 years, and is currently in the plant where this tranny is built. So I was able to talk directly with the engineers and guys at the plant to help figure out what was goin on.
Well after a dealer maintenance dept, and 2 tranny shops said the L/R clutch packs were goin out, I ended up replacing it for $2850!
Needless to say I was a bit upset.
I contacted Jeep customer service thru email and phone, and they said they couldn't help out at all.
Really Jeep? With that low of mileage, the thing shouldn't have even needed serviced yet by your standards. The least they could've done was chip in a bit.

Comments: Stock tranny, I can't complain yet. I'll probably keep it and install the Rubicrawler to get my ratio down.

Pros	Overall reliable, efficient, convenient, really good offroad and on
Cons	none
Recommended	yes

Comments: I've driven with this tanny since buying my 03 Wrangler in 03. The only problem I have experienced was at about 25K miles when the tranny developed a little "bump" while coming to a stop and downshifting. The dealer quickly fixed it under waranty. Since then, it has performed as well as any tranny I've ever owned.

I really like it offroad. When going through the mud gettng to my hunting spots, it allows me to pay attention to what I need to do to keep from getting stuck without worrying about a clutch, shifting or anything else. Combined with my front-axle Aussie locker, this tranny allows the Jeep to be the mud warrior it was designed to be when it was developed in the late 1930s and proved itself as one of the most valuable Allied tools in WWII. This tranny enhances bad-road performance and well represents the Jeep that went to war so many times in the 20th Century.

On the highway, the overdrive gear allows my Wrangler's straight-6 engine to comfortably keep up the pace at relatively low and easy RPMs.

In the city, it is smooth and effortless while negotiating heavy traffic.

I'm glad I bought it.

Comments: At 85K tranny pump lost prime. Would bang into gear. Had dealer replace with reman unit. 3 year 100k warranty. Have 25k on so far and alittle shy of 2 years. So far so good, but still a 42RLE

Comments: 42RLE Transmission in LJ

52000 miles on my 42RLE in my '06 Unlimited Rubicon. CIL/MIL light came on yesterday with DTC P0740. Now this morning I also have P1775. I took it in for an early AT fluid change. Mechanic found aluminum metal flecks in the bottom of the pan. How much time do I have before I need a transmission rebuild?
