    Are the NV3550 and AX-15 bell housings the same?

    Can anyone tell me if the transmission side of the bell housing is the same between the NV3550 and the AX15? Are the bell housings able to be swapped between the two?

    Switching from Straight Pipe to Muffler exhaust system is messing up my transmission?

    I bought my 2006 Jeep LJ from a buddy not too long ago and he has it straight piped. After a couple of months of daily driving the droning got to me.

    Where to get a new or rebuilt PCM?

    My PCM is showing P0106. That means that the next issue is with my 42LE transmission shifting. No new are available from MOPAR until estimated 12/31/2018. When ever I am told end of the year I get nervous. Also that costs 999.99. Ouch. Looked for a rebuilt. Nope none available. Finally...

    32RH torque converter doesn't lockup at highway speeds

    Just bought a 02 Sahara 4.0 for stupid cheap. CEL was on and PO stated it was for Torque Converter Lockup solenoid???? I know it's a 3 spd and it shifts great.

    I have a 2006 Unlimited with a automatic trans that has started to shift hard from 1st gear into 2nd. It happens when the jeep is typically cold and it only happens once.
