nsg370

Let's start this off by making it clear: this is not a real "How To" as I have now only been involved in this project once. There's a lot of "figure it out" in this. However I do want to document an NSG370 to 42RLE swap in case it will help someone else later (it also works in the reverse ;)). I...

If yours is torn you'll see the replacements are ~$140 so this is the popular retrofit to seal the tub back up around the shifter. I swapped in an Ax15 so I no longer need it. It's brand new but I opened the bag just to see if it would work with the ax15.

starting this thread to document my swap instead of doing it after the fact when my memory is fuzzy. Background: my NSG370 pops out of reverse. In street use it's tolerable but it's exacerbated when backing against any resistance, such as uphill (like the 8% grade on my driveway) or if a tire...

Hey guys I'm selling my 6 speed 05 LJ. I've owned it 2 years as of last week. I recently smogged it and the registration is paid. Why am I selling? I'm going back to school so the proceeds go toward that. The Jeep's been really good to me. I've never wheeled it. I obviously had plans for it but...

Hello all, First a little background. I have a 2005 LJ with the NSG-370 6 speed trans. At around 147,900 miles the throw-out bearing let go on my drive home. I daily drive the LJ around 100 miles each day. The T/O bearing let go about a quarter way into my drive home. I put around 50 miles on...

I have found out that I need a new transmission in my '97 TJ and was wonder if I can go from the 5 speed NV3550 to the 6 speed NSG370? Is it possible, and what are the cost differences?

I have a 2005 X with 33" tires. It only has 50K miles on it. For well over a year I have found that as the transmission gets hot it gets very stiff (difficult) shifting in and out of 5th and 6th gears. It did this with OEM tranny fluid and does it with the Redline MTL. The transmission hump on...

Very confused about this and don’t know how concerned I should be. This fluid looks very strange to me and the bolt won’t tighten fully with a wrench, but isn’t finger loose. It just seems to keep spinning. Obviously, this bolt is on the trans, but that does not look like transmission fluid...

Hello. My 2005 manual TJ has some problems with second and third gears. They don't shift smoothly and sometimes grind a little. I guess it's the synchronizes so I try to adjust my shifting as I can't afford to rebuild the trans. But, I thought it might be worth to ask if anyone have experience...

Hello everyone, I was advised to comment on here by another fellow jeeper from another post. I own a 2006 manual transmission rubicon. I bought it about a year ago and I have noticed some noises in the transmission. No heavy mods. It’s mostly stock with a 4 inch lift. Stock driveshafts. I know...

Hi all! so I bought this jeep in august and I've been doing a solid amount of research into what I want to build it into and I've recently gotten into overlanding (look up expedition overland they're really cool) and now that the (high school) football season is about over I can start working...

Hi all, I am desperately trying to find info regarding changing my 6 speed. I currently have a 97 that previous owner put NSG370 and turbo into, I have lost 3rd and 4th gears only so have a replacement box ready to have swapped. The newer one is from a JK 3.6lt V6 with only 10,000 kms use and...

Anyone out there running 33's with 3.73 gears BUT with a 6spd manual? I was wondering if you could provide your impression of how it performs. I was told never to try this with an automatic, but with a 6sp manual, this would not be a bad combo for road use. I realize 4.56 or 4.88 would be...

Hi folks! I just became the proud owner of a new-to-me 2005 Wrangler Willy's edition. It doesn't have the sticker package (I checked the option sheet, it was spec'd without it), but it does have the camo seats. Unfortunately, the green soft top was in disrepair, so that's gone on my list of...

Hello! I have an 06' TJ with the 42rle in it. I've got 125,000 miles on the jeep and it runs like a top. The only issue is that I'm almost positive my transmission has finally bit the dust. Fluid and filter were done at 120,000 and my computer is good. Just topped the fluid off because it was a...

I am a fairly new owner of a 2006 4L Jeep TJ with the NSG370 6 speed standard. I thought the tranny shifting felt a bit unusual when i first bought it and had a tranny shop take it for a spin. They said they felt no issues. I have sense done a 2" body lift. I have been getting grinding when...

Jeep provides breather hose for axles and transfer case but they neglected to put one on the Mercedes 6 speed manual transmission that came on the 2005 and 2006 TJ's. As long as you do not do deep water crossing your should be ok. If you do play in the water I would advise to remove the plastic...
