When I was trying too figure out what transmission it had (in the snow), I used a thread here. No mention of some of them getting the TCM, curved cross-member, and still being a 42. That VIN decoder would have been much more useful in that thread. The decoder says it has the 42 in it, thank...

It has 13 bolts. But, since it has the curved cross-member and the TCM on the fender, isn't it supposed too be a 45RFE?

The more I look at it, the more I think the one in my vehicle is a 42RLE. I can tell the transmission has been out before (broken cross-member bolts, broken plastic clips, etc.) and I wonder if someone installed a 42RLE. Not sure how they pulled it off, the wire harness is all plugged in at...

So I picked up the transmission (from a salvage yard) and did some disassembly towards removing the current bad transmission when I noticed the one I got from the salvage yard isn't the same. The sticker has "RFE" on it and "858" above that. My current transmission (the bad one) has a...

Well that is why I said, "if it were a Ford". The codes it gave me were manufacturer exclusive, not the OBDII generic codes. Sometimes this scanner won't read the generics (not sure why) but will read manufacturer specific, which is what it did in this case. I picked up a transmission today...

I am positive on the numbers. My scanner is a knock-off, but I haven't gotten wrong codes from it, before. The numbers (and definitions) match the symptoms. If it were a Ford transmission, I would say it had a broken band and a leaking servo (for the flare shift), but I am not as familiar...

I bought two Liberty's (both with selectable 4wd) to flip for tax season. One of them has transmission problems and while researching that, I found that they (gas engines) came with the 42RLE or 45RFE transmission and that they started the change over in April of 2003. The 2003 model year...
