Thanks for watching. Hope all goes well for you. If you have a press that helps. Then the only thing you need is something that is the same size as the bushing. Be sure and remove that little ridge inside the overdrive/underdrive drum before putting that one back in.

Right on. Damn those solenoid packs on the 42RLEs...

It’s impressive how many types of transmissions some guys know how to put together just off the top of their head. I’ve got a side business doing manual transmissions for folks. There are a handful I’ve done enough of that I no longer need to reference the manuals, but that’s maybe three or four of them. Definitely not the dozens I’ve seen on this channel.

Muchas gracias!! Me sirvió mucho para hacer el diagnóstico inicial de mi transmisión. Ya descarté el cuerpo de válvulas y solenoides + sensores de velocidad + aceite + filtro, sin embargo la falla continúa. Funciona solo la primera y reversa, pero si pongo la selectora en D o 2da pasan unos metros y pierde tracción (como si quedara en neutro). Según su experiencia serán los discos de 2da 4ta los que están jodidos?

The park rod is hitting on the actuator. Sometimes you can pop it into place without taking the valve body back off.

Should the extension shaft in the extension housing have any play in it after it’s pressed down onto the snap ring?

Not intending to criticize, but more of a question. I see you using a power wrench on the valve body. I've been rebuilding transmissions since about 1968. I used to use an impact on them as well. I got bit really hard on a THM400 about 1970. Factory man was on the premises, and his first question was "did you use a torque wrench on the valve body?" I had not. He told me to drop the pan and retorque the valve body bolts and it would fix the problem. I did, and it did. Ever since that, I religiously use a torque wrench and follow factory specs for torque.

Whats the difference between the 918 case and 992 case 42rle

@CurmudgeonTransmission

3 жыл бұрын

I don't know for 100%, but there are 8 different cases for that unit. All have to do with the placement of the starter and the distance between the top bolts. There are 2 992's an AA and an AB. I am assuming the AB is probably for the addition of the case connector being added for the VLP system, but I don't know that for a fact.

Chryslers are bad about doing that just being low on fluid. Could be a bad T/C, plugged cooler, problem in the VB.

I recently picked up a supposedly rebuilt transmission, but I've immediately ran into issues with it. At first it drove kinda fine but then wouldn't shift into anything higher than either 1st or 2nd, and if its in Netrual or Reverse it will still move forward with throttle. Have you ever heard of that? Im no expert on transmissions but I have torn a 42RLE apart before so id like to do it myself if possible.

Double check your connectors at the transmission and make sure they are plugged all the way in. Sometimes debris can get in the connector and keep it from going all the way in. make sure the connector clicks when you plug it all the way in and will not pull off when you tug on it. If it does you will need to replace the connector end. Good thing about Dodge is they sell most of their connector ends. If that is ok look and make sure you did not pinch a wire between the bellhousing and block. If that looks ok pull the valve body and make sure all the wires there are ok and double check your check ball locations. They are different between the VLP system and non VLP.

I don't and have not for about 25 years now and not had any issues from it. Putting a little in the converter if you want is ok also. The installers here usually don't. The only one I can think of that it would be a great idea to do is the Ford 5R110W. That thing has a tendency to wipe the pump out on the lift, it sucks fluid so fast you can not fill it fast enough. I would put about 9 qts. in it and start it up and then shut it off immediately and put 9 more in before starting it again.
