Believe it or not, pouring through Dodge Trucks / Jeep 42RE A500SE Transmission Rebuild Repair Manual brought back a few sweet memories.
As big fans of the Grand Cherokee, we have a special place in our hearts for the 42RE tranny. We had a good time putting that baby through its paces, pushing its four auto speeds into some serious challenges. It had a brand new governor body and a redesigned hydraulic system. (No, we're not professional transmission mechanics, but we like to read up on our vehicles.) We knew the 3-4 shift was activated by an electronic shift in the solenoid, while the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts was channeled into the governor pressure circuit from the solenoid.
Despite all this knowledge, we knew better than to touch a single component in that tranny. But we have to admit, we might have been a little bolder if we'd had a copy of Dodge Trucks / Jeep 42RE A500SE Transmission Rebuild Repair Manual. Engineered for any and every professional that has to work with this unique machine, the technical service information to be found in these 120 pages is going to simplify all your operations.
The publisher of this and many other great transmission care and rebuild transmission manuals is ATSG. That's Automatic Transmission Service Group, for the uninitiated. But, trust us, once you've used one of these books, you're going to want to have them all. There are no better or more affordable resources for managing transmission projects.
