You're welcome. This was more out of necessity but want to help all jeepers. And BTW, I've put over 10,000 miles on this trans since the video was made. If you havent already pleaee subscribe as I'll have more jeep stuff coming up and square bodies.

Jeremy, I own 3 WJs. Love em. I don't have a trans problem, but I have often wondered about the 2000 I had vs the 2002s and up. Anyway, I really appreciate the time you took to tell us the story about your trans. This is invaluable info.
Hey JSF. Brother I just want to say thank you! Man you have no idea how much you just saved my ass. I have a WJ 42re going into my ZJ and this just saved me from dropping a trans more than I need to.
this is great. I have a 95 zj wheeler with a dated trans. picked up an 01 wj with a new jasper unit, id like to stick that one in for obvious reasons... 'they' said it couldn't be done.. but I guess I'll make a video like yours when I do it.
Thanks for sharing this inf. I wish I found your video before because I found a nice 2000 tranny with 120k only ,for my 2001 Dakota ..had to cancel the deal because it was not comparable,after watching your video I know is not that hard to update the tranny..thanks again.
Thank you for this video .Have a 98 grand cherokee with a bad transmission, found a good 99 trany but the info that I got is that they are not compatible, but no body could tell me why.. Like you said they are identical except the electronic. you saved my day.
I have 2 99 4x4's a 2000 2wheeldrive and a 2001 2wheeldrive with a 4'' lift.. i'm guttin one of the 99's to make my 2001 4wheeldrive.. I have heard if you have a problem with your ABS system ( Dirty or broke somehow) that the transmission won't shift OR won't shift right too.. Might help somebody out.. Good to know video when i get to workin on mine ! Thanks !
Funny that you say that because I got the biggest one I could find and ended up putting a smaller one because of overfilling the fluid concerns. Maybe I'm wrong but if I'm not I'll gladly put the bigger one back in.
Thanks for the great video. The transmission on 1998 Grand Cherokee stopped shifting, so i went a head and replaced the two solenoids, wiring harness, tork converter, and the accumulator spring. however the transmission still is not shifting. Please advise.
i have a couple questions.. isn’t the hole on the side of the transmission different where the 5 pin and three pin neutral safety switch goes? im wanting to put or i already did put a 2003 motor and trans in a 1999 dodge dakota.. i have the original wire harnesses and computers for both motor and trans. the problem is the fuse boxes and plug ends are different. and plu
So, my swap was the other way around. I used a 2000 jeep GC doner transmission in my 1996 Jeep GC. I am having overdrive issues. I am only assuming right now that it is the 3-4 accumulator spring. However now after watching your video, I am wondering if the govorner pressure solinoid is the same in each or if the 2000 has a govornor pressure transducer instead. ???? SHIT!
Help.... I'm trying to disconnect the outside harness. It feels like it's stuck in something. I thought it was still connected by a screw somewhere but it's not. It feels like something is holding it in there. I'm stranded trying to rebuild at a hotel that I had to check out of
Can you please explain to me the difference between the 42RE and the 45RFE transmission? I am trying to locate in my transmission a stamp with that code since my owner's manual does not specify. Thanks.
Is the solenoid pack that you removed, are all the solenoids in that pack? I was told my Grand Cherokee has 4 of them but are not all in one location inside the transmission. Thanks for posting the video, it is very helpful.
Yes. I swapped solenoid packs from one trans to the other. And the harness. As far as the the difference between the 42RE and 45RE, I don't know off hand.
Hello sir! I have a Dakota 1997 with 42re.when i put it in Drive start with second gear.when i put it in first gear manua start with first gear only in manual.do you know something??
Hi, I own a 1993 ZJ Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. MFR Date of the vehicle is: FEB-1993 and I'm not sure what trans I have exactly in this. How am I able to find the most info as poss about my transmission once I know what exact transmission I have here. Can't find videos on the "OLDER TRANSMISSIONS" Please help me and thx for taking time to respond back with good info.
In the first 2 minutes of the video, I literally tell how to the difference between the 2 transmissions. If harness goes the separate controller or PCM, it's early. If it goes to the main PCM it's late.
@@jerseyshorefabricators7431 Yes I know about the differences between the two but where exactly on the trans itself can I find info about my trans? Not only that I"m not even sure if I do have the 42RE or ? It looks like your just talking about the yrs 1999-2000 and 2000-up
@@toddrhine7648 I believe they were all 42re transmissions from 96 till 02. Im sure a little googling can answer that. I did what I did for my truck. Can't answer for every year mate.
I'm having a problem right now in my 2000 that needed a new ecu out of a 2002. The sensor values are all wacky for the trans temp showing about 25 Deg c off and the output speed is off. Has no overdrive because it thinks the trans is at -22 deg c. I managed to get the sensors and solinoids from the 02 transmission and hopefully fixes the issue! Question, the block that the sensors and solinoid plug into is it the same? Mainly the black transducer is what I need to change but I am going to change the whole harness and solinoids but I didn't get the block. I do have a new shift spring and filter kit
It's been a long time. I'm not a trans guy. But I believe the trans case is cast the same. Only the electronics are different. So everything should be swappable from one the other
I just bought a 01 and it dont like to shift from in 1st and 2nd once your in 3rd and 4th its fine but if you dont let off the gas it wount shift (1st and 2nd ) any ideas?
Tyler sounds like the valve body could have an issue. In older cars it would be a vacuum modulator. But im not a trans guy. So you may want to seek.an expert
I recently replaced the gearbox on my 2005 Renegade CRD A - Diesel. It was replaced with a second-hand gearbox, the original gearbox from a car that was being sold by parts. We have installed the gearbox on my Jeep and all seems to be working ok, apart from the third gear that won’t engage smoothly. There is a bit of a jolt whenever we shift into gear 3 and we have tried to identify what could be causing the problem, with no luck. Any help on this is highly appreciated.

There's an accumulator spring. In this video I show mine was broken. Mighy want to check yours. Beyond that. I'm not a transmission tech. Just a guy who knows how to get around a car.

It can be done. Just follow everything in here to a T. Spring, harness, all that.
01 has a 1.6 front apply band

Appreciate you uploading this.
Great information 2 thumbs up
Dorman solutions has an aftermarket pan with a built in drain plug, it make the job 100 times neater and smoother.
It’s called 3-4 spring because it breaks into 3-4 pieces
Haha! Got a point there
In the interior band in the transmission you can find the correct model, my its a ZJ 97 and its writen 44RE

There's another smaller spring that falls out when you remover the accumulate I didn't hear you mention it...
Meanwhile I have a 2000 with the 2001 style computer. 3-4 spring was also broken.
They are going to keep improving things until nothing works.
My friend..Excelent video...Where did you buy this upgraded kit? Jeep Dealer does not have that ..only separate parts...Thanks!
Best mod for the 42re transmission,install the biggest transmission cooler you can find

I'm not sure. I'm really not a trans repair guy, just a guy getting by.
So do I literally just pull the outside harness out ? Mine feels like something is holding me up
Did you ever get yours out? I'm having the same problem
So I would still have to do this if Im puting a 2004 42re in a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee would I have to also change the other solenoids?
Most likely if the the TCM's are different.
