42RLE Transmission Info

As an owner of a 2009 JKU with 117,000 miles, I am considering all options in the event of an untimely catastrophic engine or transmission failure.

I have found an abundant wealth of information on WAL related to the 42RLE transmission and have come to this conclusion... An LS and 6L80 under the hood is the way to go....:crazyeyes::yup:

Anyway, in my search for knowledge about the 42RLE, I came across a series of youtube videos that I think anyone wanting to know more about the Chrysler 42RLE should give a look.

Note: This is a long 17 part series that outlines the diagnosis, tear down and rebuild of a 42RLE transmission out of a 2009 JK. My reason for posting is that I feel this might help you better understand the inner workings of this automatic transmission. To be honest, I'm amazed this transmission has held up in our built up JK for over 117,000 miles!!

In my opinion, the videos are well done by a shop with integrity. Hope you feel the same as I did.
