    Transmission service manual for 42RLE (non-VLP)

    I found the trans service manual for 45RFE transmission, but I cannot find the service manual for the 42RLE. In case it matters, I have a 2005, therefore it does not have VLP. If a transmission service manual exists for the 42RLE, I would appreciate a pointer. Thanks much.

    Transmission fluid dipstick empty ?

    I just bought a '06 KJ 2.8 CRD and while checking the engine today I looked at the transmission fluid dipstick and there was nothing in it when I pulled it out. I then added 1L of "Liqui Moly Transmission Fluid", waited a few hours and checked the dipstick again; same result - as if there is no...

    Hello from Poland!

    Hey there! My dad has recently passed away due to covid complications; I'm his only son so I feel obliged to take care of his 2003 Jeep Liberty 3.7, which he loved.

    A transmission problem with my 2005 Liberty (doesn't move on R and moves on N)

    Since the winter started, I had a slippery transmission but it used to be normal after few minutes of driving (I guess when it gets hot enough). I searched this problem and found out that most probably the transmission fluid has become thick. I just changed the fluid now but unfortunately a new...

    So I believe my 42RLE is finally going out to pasture. I've been exploring multiple routes such as having a shop rebuild it, replacing it myself with a reman, etc. If I replace it myself, I keep hearing of a relearn period or program. Is there any way I can relearn it from my garage? Or would...

I went to a junkyard and got the appropriate parts. I removed my old fan shroud, installed my junkyard fan clutch, and...
