42RE Teardown, No Reverse & No 4TH

In this video, i teardown this 42RE out of a 2002 Jeep. In the rear section of this transmission is the Overdrive Direct Clutch pack, the snap ring that holds this clutch pack likes to break, this broke and came out of place causing the problem. Every overhaul the snap ring gets changed with a new snap ring. Good news is i filmed the rebuild so over the next couple of weeks we will do the 42RE rebuild. Thanks for watching.

Hey Gary, do you ever get any 4L30e transmissions in for performance rebuilds? I know they went in some BMWs, but I'm more interested in them for their use in Isuzu SUVs. They were kind of at their limits in a big heavy SUV, especially if you wanted to tow with it or use it off road in 4-Low with high engine speed and low airflow through the trans cooler.

Yes sir iwas also thinking if the pump was bad or gone is would cause it go overheat as soon as i turned it on. And i remember when it happened there was white smoke coming near the Cadillac converter not alot of smoke but enough it stopped after 5min so i was thinking maybe the neutral safty switch or my transmission speed sensor when out and burned up do you think that is possible?

[@perripierre9295]

Greet video, Gary, I’m having a problem 42RE myself. Had the broken ring as well. However since I had a hard time finding some hard parts I threw a used unit in to get me by and now I have real problems.

[@GaryFerraro]

so you got a bad used unit?

[@perripierre9295]

@@GaryFerraro Yeah, it looks that way. So the used unit was starting off in third gear and wasn’t shifting properly so I went ahead and swapped my governor transducer and solenoid and sure enough it fixed the problem but bad news. For one the unit had water, I did a boil test and sure enough the water boiled off from the fluid and worse, it shudders upon acceleration and on the 1-2 up shift violently. All other gears are good. So is Reverse. Now my original unit burnt up the overdrive clutch for sure and I was able to get a reaction plate, the pressure plate can be saved and the frictions and steels come in the kit. But now I’m down to the overdrive direct clutch hub which is also burnt and beat up. This one has the hand grenade spring. I need to get some sort of press set up and an output shaft alignment tool or cut an output shaft. So it’s a mess. I’m a Ford and GM tranny guy so aside from a 904 like 30 years ago this is my first 42RE BTW Vehicle has 298,000 but runs like a Swiss Army watch. Thanks and although I don’t always comment, I enjoy all of your videos.

Going to pull out an old trans and remove the OD unit tomorrow, with the intention of swapping that out first. Haven't had much luck sourcing a used trans, and all the one's I've got have either had water in them or are at over 250k miles. Water'd unit is the one I'll be pulling out tomorrow, as I'm hoping water didn;t get into the overdrive unit.

Greetings from Slovak republic - Europa. Perfect videos. I am rebuilding my Jeep grand cherokee 2002 4.0. with automatic transmission 42 RE. Your videos will help me a lot. I found part of a snap ring in the pan too. Can I contact you when I need help? I can get your email contact. Thank you.

Funny how every tranny shop has a steel work table with no drain angle, so the oil and crud puddles on it. Should angle table top a little just like autopsy tables, so all the juices flow to the drain.

[@calholli]

This is unacceptable to me. Seeing your transmission fail because they simply didn't make the snap ring thick enough? wow.

[@GaryFerraro]

Very common problem

[@calholli]

@@GaryFerraro They should get sued in a class action lawsuit over something like that. You could triple the thickness of the rings for almost nothing--- and it would likely solve it. smh

[@GaryFerraro]

@@calholli Sure, make the snap ring groove wider and the ring thicker
