42RLE/VLP Valvebody Overhaul & Install

[@BobMiddletonRugRatz]

Lifesaver. I had a check ball fall out. That close up of locations. ❤

[@cardinallandlandspecialist4293]

Hello Gary - many thanks for your generosity in publishing these videos. I am in Australia and a 2010 Jeep Cherokee Limited (Liberty in the US I think). I have fault codes P1776 mainly and on one occasion P0734. The symptoms are that the transmission occasionally shifts to 3rd gear (I think) and will no longer shift up or down. It will happen at anytime but often while driving at 60mph it will down shift and become stuck in this gear. I noticed on occasion that the torque does not lock up unless I kick down and then it seems to engage once it changes up the gears again. To enable the transmission to change normally again I need to stop the car, switch it off and restart it. It is a 42RLE VLP and there appears to be very little knowledge over here about these or they are very very expensive to have repaired. I was consiering (based on what I have read) of ordering a valve body and solenoid pack as a starting point. I understand it could be a number of things causing this but thought this may be a good starting point considering the cost of parts and repairs of these transmission in Australia. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Craig

[@GaryFerraro]

Hello Craig and greetings from New York. You may have 2 problems, the P0734 is Gear error in 4th, this is the overdrive clutch, pretty common issue. What i need to know is if you have a scan tool that can show data of the transmission. I would like to know the C.V.I (clutch Volume Index) of the Overdrive clutch, then i could tell you if the clutch is good or not, but it is common for that clutch to wear out. The 1776 code is completely something different, in the Valvebody there is a switch valve, when in a certain position it works the low reverse clutch, then in another position it works the Converter clutch, so the code is saying it is stuck in the low/reverse position, this can be cause by a faulty valvebody, solenoid pack or range switch, could also be caused by a faulty wire but usually a P0841 will also set. First, we should look at the C.V.I Values for this trans, do you have a scan tool?

[@cardinallandlandspecialist4293]

Gary - I had some one check the codes again and the only codes showing was P1776 and P0841. They checked the CVI Values and the OD clutch was 134. I believe the upper end spec for the 42RLE VLP is 150? Is the OD Clutch CVI Values still appropriate? The plan is to replace the valve body and solenoid pack only at this stage? Thanks, Craig

[@GaryFerraro]

@@cardinallandlandspecialist4293 To me that is high and 150 cvi is too high. once the valvebody and solenoid pack is replaced, make sure you do a quick learn and recheck the cvi values. If the o/d cvi comes down with the quick learn and goes back up while driving, there may be a problem with the o/d clutch

[@cardinallandlandspecialist4293]

Got it. Thanks again for your help Gary

[@AlexBrowningPX]

It's a shame the guy who tried to do this first didn't do his do diligence but I suppose it's a learning experience for him. We've all made mistakes. This one just happened to to be expensive. I'm rebuilding mine right now and learning so much. I've had a lot of trouble though finding a good complete kit so I've ended up getting the different kits (snap ring, bushing, overhaul kit etc) separately.

[@redbullhamster]

It is genuinely interesting watch you work so efficiently. I have given up on doing a job related to this on my own Jeep JK because of that. It will be less of a headache for me to fix my solenoid issue if I buy the entire valve body from ATS. Or even a whole new transmission for that matter. I can sort of see why a shop wanted $4k to look at this issue.

[@GaryFerraro]

You have codes present

[@redbullhamster]

@@GaryFerraro P0740. It started with really jerky shifts from 2-3 & 3-4. The jerk was more exaggerated in 4lo. Drove it today after it sat for a long time w/dead battery. New codes say P0733. P1790. Never seen them before. It finally failed after 3 years by topping out on the highway at 40mph & 5k rpm. It is now stuck in this state & doesnt seem to know it should shift after 2nd. Just hovers in 3rd... I believe. I'm just learning today I have a 4spd trans. It's an 08 with 150k mi that ive owned since new. 37" tires since 2014, so i sort of expected a failure by now. Trans has overheated a few times as well. Its overweight with camping stuff as well. 🙃

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).

Hey Gary. Great video. I recently replace the solenoid pack and two sensors for the speed and input/output. After reinstalling the valve body with it in low, fresh fluid,etc, I don't have anything. It shows all the gears on the indicator but there's no movement what so ever. No check engine light or anything. 2005 42rle dodge Dakota thanks

[@GaryFerraro]

Did you do anything else to the valvebody other than the solenoid pack? Wondering if the manual valve is not hooked up

[@1987cutlass454]

Well to tell you the truth, I came in on the tail end of this repair. This is my father in laws truck. I saw this video and I was able to put the shifter in low for him to install the valve body. I did not see if the manual pin was hooked up as it should be. (he already had the solenoid pack plugged in under the truck) I'm going to personally pull the valve body assembly back out and check the manual part. Its no telling what he's done. I know he said he sprayed the valve body out with brake clean. Thanks and i'll keep you updated

[@1987cutlass454]

Pulled the valve body again and the manual pin is in the gate of the shifter. Got it all back together again and it will shift and the tires move on the jack stands. On the tires it'll barely move like a slipping issue or a pressure issue.

[@briansanchez6682]

1987cutlass454 i put mine back together but its not moving forward how is the pin supposed to go i just pushed it back and slit it in

[@1987cutlass454]

Brian Sanchez in this video at 49:06 it show how he puts it all the way in low and hooks the spring loaded rod on the end. Then it's set and you install it back in the trans. My problem ended up being low on fluid. I suggest running it, an going through the gears a couple of times. I put over 5 qts initially but it needed more after cycling through the gears. Hope this helps.

Hi, great video. I am need to replace the Range Sensor on my 08 Jeep Wrangler with this transmission. I plan to do this with the transmission still on the Vehicle. When installing the valve body, you say to have the shifter in the “low position”. Does this mean I would shift into “1” which is at the bottom of my shifter positions? If the transmission is in “1” should the valve body pull out without much force needed after everything is disconnected? Let me know what you think. Thanks

[@GaryFerraro]

Correct, shifter needs to be in low, the linkage goes through the case, when you disconnect the linkage were the cable is, you may need to clean the linkage shaft so it slides out easy, won't drop right out but shouldn't come out that hard, 2 accumulators will fall out, try to see where they go. One may have one spring while the other may have 2 springs

Gary, My Purchased a Chrysler 300 with a 2.7 and a 42RLE with a bad motor, overhauled engine, its running great. I have one issue though , when transmission is cold, it shifts harsh, and if I start the car in the morning, and take off, when I get near a light or a stop sign engine cuts off completely like a manual car that you didnt press the clutch or put in neutral. I can start it and drive it again it can happen 2-3 times until transmission gets hot. In fact if I warm the car in the morning on drive or reverse stepping on the brake for about 5 minutes.After its hot, it shifts amazingly smooth and car never stalls again, not during the whole day. It will do it the next morning though. No codes. Please help.

question, when your approaching a stop sign or red light when the car is cold and you put the trans in neutral does it still stall out? What type of scanner do you have?

Hi Gary. Great how-to video. I progressively lost reverse on an '06 42 RLE and the PCM gave a P0700 code, which translates to the TCM, but everyone says the TCMs are super-reliable. The forward gears are still functioning properly, so I don't think it is the TCM. Could it be that the solenoid pack caused the fault? I pulled the pan off, and the magnet is clean and so is the oil. That probably rules out a mechanical failure. I don't have the time and funds to keep replacing bits until it fixes the fault. Any advice? Thanks

[@GaryFerraro]

Emil Muller ok. Do you have a scan tool that reads data? The p0700 code is a generic code may be more present. Did this happen suddenly? How is forward

[@emilmuller4694]

Yep. I got a Bosch Multiscan OBDII. And it threw up only this one transmission code. Forward is fine, I drove in both OD and Normal, after the reverse fail, and all the shifts seemed like it always was. The reverse started to slip progressively more in about a fortnight's driving, noticed it when backing up at work and into my garage. Then I backed up onto a sloped driveway on Thursday morning, and nothing. No expensive noises, just no backwards motion whatsoever. Driving back from work Thursday night, I rolled into my garage, engaged reverse, and the car seemed to move about an inch, and then stopped. That made me rule out mechanical failure and run the scan.

ok, so you currently have no reverse correct? How does it shift through the forward gears

[@DennisPretti]

Gary Ferraro yes... I have no reverse... when I shift to “D” he’s works fine running right change normally all the forward gears. Only lost the reverse “option “. The shifter change and the “R” appear in the dash panel but the wheels don’t have any power...

[@GaryFerraro]

In this trans you have an input drum, the first set of clutches is for reverse, possible they are no good. You also have a low/reverse clutch, but if the car is driving fine forward it may not be that. Do you have access to a scan tool?

How is your shift to 2nd? do you have a scan tool that shows data like a snap-on scanner?

shift 1/2 2/3 just fine. It struggles uphill, tach goes to about 3000 rpm and then kicks to 4th once i take foot off gas. On ideal driving surface, like flat straight away, it doesnt have that issue, only a slight shutter. Dont have a snap on but will look into it.
