Thank you very much Gary: Thanks to your videos I have dared to do maintenance on my 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Rwd. 150,000 miles. Everything came out quite easy and has worked well. If you have time you could make a video updating the valve body with the sonnax products. Thanks again, excellent videos. Chile, SudAmerica.

I've never taken an automatic transmission apart before, but after watching all your 42re videos over and over again I gave it a shot. I just drove my Jeep for the first time in months tonight and it's shifting beautifully! Thank you so much for covering everything in detail, it gave me the confidence to tackle this. I really appreciate it.

Yes sir, I know I appreciate also, I’ve rebuilt 4L60E’s but this is my first Dodge. Hope I get it right 🙏🤔

Hello, Gary, I finally managed to get all the hard parts I needed, the OD direct reaction plate and the thinner OD pressure plate, got it all together and in the Jeep. However I have a 2-3 shift problem and I'm hoping it's the band adjustment. I'm getting a 2-3 flare up and an immediate shift to third. 1-2 is good but then it flares up. 3-4 is good and lockup seems to work. If I start in manual 2 and allow second to run up, come off the pedal and shift to drive, it will go in with a slight RPM flare. So second is working. When I watched this video it's hard to tell what your starting point is as far as preliminary torque on the adjustment bolt but the manual calls for 72 inch lbs (6 ft lbs and although it's only 6 foot pounds it seems very tight) for both bands. I have no problem with reverse or manual 1st, I backed out 4 turns. The Trans Tech sheet calls for backing off the front band 2-1/4 turns (that's from 72 " lbs) and you did 2 1/2 from your point but the Mitchell manual for my actual vehicle calls for 3 turns! Could it be my band is too tight and not releasing soon enough? It looks like you may have gone down much less than I did so your 2 1/2 is backed off more than my 2 1/4 turn. can another 3/4 turn make the difference? Thanks in advance

Спасибо тебе дядька! Все подробно показал, если бы не вы я бы свою акпп долго собирал еще

Very informative and I appreciate it very much, I’ve taken transmissions apart and put them together by memory years ago before KZread, but it would have Sure been nice to have KZread 30 years ago, I only rebuilt what was mine, then in 2015 I went to work for Fryars Transmission in Hot Springs Arkansas where I only worked for 4 months before I had a crippling car accident and it’s been my dream to get setup in my own shop. I’ve always done mechanic work on just about anything, tractors, trucks, cars, diesel trucks I was a shop mechanic for two years in Pensacola working for a trucking company, mainly servicing brakes your joints, such as that and a when I started rebuilding the transmissions at the shop they were taught me how they did it and they were really kind and a good people but I love it so much working on these. It’s more like play to me. It’s no I’ve never work a day in my life in my shop. I finally I got a lift. I got a transmission jack it’s the sun ex half ton air over hydraulic jack. It makes it so easy to put one in. I wouldn’t have any other transmission jack and I’ve got a small milling machine that I’ve set up and that way if I have to resurface any parts or even make some parts I can do that because I’ve also got experience with that I’m a jack of all trades in the master of none, but I would like to master transmissions. Everyone that I have built so far has been a good build, I research as much as I can and take my time while learning each kind. Praying 🙏 God blesses the work of my hands and I can be a blessing to others as well. I’ve rebuilt a 4L60eE for a friend all I asked is money for parts and supplies, a friend of mine just asked me to rebuild this 97 Dodge Dakota 42RE a couple of months ago so we will see how it turns out. Thank you so much for your instructions. 👍🤗

Absolutly wonderfull description here. Many thanks from Paris, France.

Had this on in the back ground, you said you normally do not disassemble the really big spring in the O.D. section, the plate that the spring sits on is worn in every 518, 42re that I have seen, take the little snap ring off then see if the plate spins freely, if not it needs the plate....

Have u ever had that or is it possible for that snap ring on the spring break and sill runs fine with out a problem for a week or 2 then won’t start almost like it’s a manual but when u start it it’s like it’s in a bind and can turn over enough to crank the Jeep almost like I have a manual trying to crank with out clutch pushed in is that snap rring a possible cause of the engine not starting

Hi Gary, regarding ZFs, I know you say you send the solenoids to Ericsson's (spelling?) in CT for flow checks and a place in NC for torque converters but I don't remember who it was. On your next ZF maybe you could put contact info for those places.

@GaryFerraro

3 жыл бұрын

Eriksson's get the converters too. I don't really flow check the 6 speed solenoids anymore, they came way down in price so i just change them. The 8 speed solenoids i may send out for flow check. Good to hear from you, hope all is well

I'm about to (probably) attempt this myself in the near future. I definitely found this helpful but I would like some input on my issue if you don't mind. 97 Dakota, 44RE. When hot, it doesn't want to shift to 3rd. When cold everything works fine. Pulled the pan yesterday and there's flakes in the pan. Not so much shavings but flakes of material. Pan is clean and ready to go back on. I have new filter, solenoids, pressure sensor and governor solenoid. I'm hoping this is the solution, if not I will have to rebuild.
