    LJ Soft Tops: OEM or Trektop?

    Anyone purchased a remanufactured transmission from Bestbuy Transmission?

    Will a new speedo gear help with 42RLE shift points after re-gearing?

    No but it looks like FRP can tune your PCM to adjust shift points. https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/hptuners-mpvi2%E2%80%94it-looks-like-it-is-possible-to-program-42rle-shift-points.42931/

    Need suggestions on 42RLE replacement transmission

    My mechanic suggested jasper but they were way off the mark on price and warranty was extra iirc. Hopefully things have changed. I used best buy transmission. I've got 18 months or so and a couple thousand miles on mine. No regrets. 42RLE Transmission - $1,895 | 5-Year Warranty. | Money Back
