transmission

Howdy folks, I decided to service my trans yesterday. Not because I was having issues, but because I haven't done it in the years I've owned the jeep and I felt like it was a good idea. The fluid smelled good and had a nice red color to it. Not burnt or stinky like I've smelled in bad...

Hello Everyone. My son and I have been working on our ‘97, 4.0L Manual with 200k for a few years and this site has been a life saver for two Jeep Noobs. So first thanks to the forum and help on so many issues We’ve had some clutch problems and decided to replace the clutch. The transmission...

Hey everyone. New here sorry if this question isn’t in the right place. Yesterday I replaced the radiator on my 04 sport and the hose clamp at the bottom failed causing about 3 quarts of trans fluid to spill all over the road and I lost the ability to go into gear. Pushed it off the road and the...

Just bought an 09 rubicon unlimited about a week ago. It had a transmission leak so I replaced the gasket and filled it back up with fluid. Other then that was having no problems no codes are anything. Now since putting in the new fluids and driving I'm getting 2 different error codes one is...

Hello all, Recently bought an 03 Rubicon with an engine/ 6 speed trans swapped from an LJ, with a new clutch and slave from the previous owner. (Has rubicon express lift on 35s but I don’t really think that’s relevant.) Driven it around 600 miles with no real issues until last night. Started...

My jeep is starting to show symptoms of a bad transmission. It shudders whenever it enters overdrive and shifts rough after warming up. It's currently throwing a p700 and p1294 code, but I'm not sure the p1294 code is related to the transmission. I've checked for vacuum leaks but haven't found...

Hey all, so I’ve got an issue I’m trying to diagnose and so far all I’ve got is that it’s got to be a clutch issue and it could also be steering column related. Not really an issue when I first start rolling but after I get where I’m going and I turn into a parking spot in 1st or 2nd and...

I bought an 02 Sahara 4.0 automatic. When driving the upshift indicator (yellow up arrow) on the dash comes on when it’s shifting gears… when I get to I guess the last gear around 40mph the arrow comes on and off and on and off a few times over a few seconds and it feels like the jeep is trying...

I have a 2004 TJ Rubicon with the 4.0 and automatic (42RLE). About 4 years ago, I was having shifting issues between 1st and 2nd where it felt like a slip/missed the gear, but would only do it once in a blue moon (never threw a code), and would shift into 2nd after about 1-2 seconds of...

Hey everyone! I need a mechanic in the South Florida area for my 06 Rubicon. I used Planet 4x4 before and was dissatisfied. I'm looking for a shop that can diagnose the shifting problems - the jeep is an automatic, but inconsistently refuses to shift from 2nd to 3rd) - as well as a mystery...

I have a 2004 TJ Rubicon 4.0L with the 42RLE auto transmission. I am looking for good reputable websites to purchase a remanufactured transmission from. Had it diagnosed by a reliable local transmission shop and they quoted me about $4,200 to rebuild it. I was trying to weigh all my options and...

Hi, My 2002 Jeep Wrangler with 185000 miles has a brief knocking noise that starts loud and quiets for 1-2 seconds once the clutch disengages from the flywheel. I am not sure if it is related, but when I am driving and release the gas without pushing in the clutch, the jeep catches and harshly...

Hi all, I am new to the forms but have had my jeep for about 7 years now. I bought the jeep at 96k miles and noticed that the clutch was disengaging very late in the pedal throw (bottom 25%). At 120k miles I replaced the clutch with a Luk 05-065 clutch kit and saw little improvement. Now at 145k...

I recently purchased a manual 2006 TJ with 110k miles. Shortly after buying it, I started having a problem with my Throwout bearing and decided to replace the whole clutch. After numerous visits to this shop that specializes in jeeps (which is also the place I bought it from), I noticed yet...

Has anyone swapped in a 42rle automatic transmission from 2004 TJ into a 2000 TJ? Jeep changed the shift cable, the metal adapter in side the cabin for the shift lever and the plastic console between the years so they don't match and make an easy swap

Hi all, since I'm about to replace my radiator while replacing my broken water pump on my 2002 TJ, I was wondering when a complete transmission fluid flush is actually necessary. I did some reading here and the process seems not to be super simple to do at home, if I want to do a complete flush...

Hi all, new to the forums. I have an ‘04 TJ, 4.0 with the NV3550 5 speed. It has 130k miles and just today started to make an awful high pitched screeching noise. It is still driveable but I don’t feel comfortable taking it anywhere as is. The transmission had been making some noise prior to...

Hi there, I’m reaching out because I’m really desperate for some help right now. First of all, I know very little about vehicles, but this will be my third Jeep TJ, it is a 2000 Wrangler SE, four-cylinder. It has about 150,000 miles on it. I bought it about 5 years ago and have had to do very...

Having an issue similar to the broken bushing. However, after inspection the bushing that connects the cable to the shifter is fine and still connected… However, the car will not shift out of park probably. But I can go under the car and push the mechanism and it can go into drive (emergency...

In My 2004 tj (4.0 5 speed) in what i am presuming to be my transmission whines in the first second and third gears, i cant tell whether or not 4th and 5th do the same due to road noise. The sound doesnt persist in neutral or with the clutch in. The jeep only has 36,000 miles and to my...
