I have a 2002 with a leaking 32RH. It also clicks from the bell housing. Long story short, I think the PO ran it low on trans fluid, damaged the the torque converter and then let the bank repossess it when he found out the cost to repair it.
I was able to pick up a trans from a froum member from a '99 figuring that a trans out of working TJ was a better option than hoping the original trans only needed the TC. (plus I've always wanted to try an automatic rebuild)
So.... what do I need to know? Should I replace seals before I install the trans? Are there 99 to 02 concerns to consider like spline counts? The trans looks to be in good shape but I don't want to pull it twice because I skipped swapping a seal while it was on the work bench or find that it won't mate with my transfer case.
