@ghostrider8028482 Жыл бұрын

Been a mechanic most of my life, but have never rebuilt an auto. I have a 44RE and for a while has shown it’s age. Recently I had one of the solenoids replaced. The one that controls shifts from 1st to 2nd, if my terminology is correct. The other day things went bad. It’s would rev up a little to much in first and not shift. Got it to shift by switching shifter positions. Then I experienced slipping. Now it has a real bad whining/squealing while parked in R N D 2 1. Increasing the revs in the respected gear, it kind of goes away, and makes what sounds like a hydraulic bypassing type sound. Like a power steering pump bypassing. I remembered days before experiencing a pulsing in acceleration whiling backing into driveway. Thanks for your video. I may attempt to rebuild it for the experience.

@SouthpawAutoworks Жыл бұрын

Caleb, I've been meaning to fire back... Mechanic most of your life...right on. Rebuilding it for the experience would be really cool. The whining sound has me leaning towards fluid level. Could also be an issue with the filter. Fluid Level: Many transmissions of this era, can be checked with the transmission in Park. This transmission, however, must be checked in Neutral (there are exceptions). With the trans shifted into Park, the TC (torque converter) is not fed oil. However, with the trans shifted into Neutral, the VB (valve-body) now sends oil to the TC. As the converter fills with oil, the oil level in the oil pan will drop. This is normal operation. So....if the fluid level is checked, with the trans in Park, it'll give a false reading. It'll look higher than it actually is. Note: The aftermarket sells a PR (Pressure Regulator) Valve that provides full-time lube...which sends oil to the TC, even with the trans shifted into Park. ***More details*** There's a solenoid block, that contains two solenoids mounted to one mounting plate (piece of metal, with a gasket). One solenoid is for the 3-4 up-shift/down-shift. The other solenoid is for TCC (torque converter clutch). In some ways, this trans operates like an old school 3-speed. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gear, are controlled by shift valves that are influenced by governor pressure and throttle pressure. The older Chrysler 3-speed transmissions utilized a governor (bolted to the output shaft). However, these later model 4 speeds did away with the governor (not always true...more details posted below). The governor was replaced by a governor solenoid. This is the metal solenoid that lives by itself, on the VB. The solenoid "creates" oil pressure, and sends it to the shift valves....just like an old-school output shaft mounted governor, used to do. 4-speed Chrysler transmissions, of this era, use the governor solenoid. However, some models still use the old-school governor. The naming of the trans tells which way the trans is set up. For example: 47RE vs 47RH. "E" stand for electronic (solenoid). "H" stands for hydraulic (old school governor).

I have a 2003 Jeep Cherokee with the 42RE. Having problems with the shift from 1st to 2nd and then a jolt to 3rd then neutral. But, it doesn't happen all the time. One morning I can drive away and the transmission shifts perfectly and it works fine for a week. Then the next morning it would act up again. But, when it worked it would shift perfectly. I've changed all the solenoids and accumulator spring which initially was broken. Had some improvement, but the same shifting problem still exists. I have noticed a faint whine after I put it into drive and start to coast, this only happens when it is acting up. I would tear into it if I had clue. Great video, you are teaching me allot !

@freeinhabitant2422 8 ай бұрын

I'd love to see a rebuild video by you guys. Seems like a lot more head-sense coming from SouthPaw. I dont have a trans need right now, but I have owned 7 Jeeps, all using the 42RE - except now I have 3 4wd and one 2 wheel drive. (I know, I cant help it - love those 4.0L. and I just know this jeep so well) The 2 wheel slips a little in a couple of scenarios. Sometimes when I back out of the driveway, and shift to drive it may hesitate and then catch. The other scenarion always happens at the same stop light in town. I am turning left and then it slips a little a little after take off and into the turn. There are other random times, but because of the occurrence at the same locations, leads me to believe its an adjustment, or solenoid or something. I have driven this unit 400-500 mile trips and had no issues, so I dont think its a rebuild, but could be wrong. One other question. On the 4wd 4re, is there a way to beef it up a bit? I note he was saying the clutches are fewer in the 42re vs the 44re. Is there a way to add more clutches to get a little more beefyness? Thanks man - !!!

What always amazes me on this overdrive is that small thin wire is all that that is holding that humongous spring. You did not mention quite an important safety tip that the hub may not lift evenly and get caught up. Also is it just me, or there is an aftermarket billet input shaft/drum?

Yes, they can get crooked during removal. Once again, be careful. The aftermarket does make billet input shafts/drums for the 47RE/47RH/48RE.

@SouthpawAutoworks Жыл бұрын

The difference will come down to clutch capacity for certain drums. In other words, the number of friction clutches that will be used for a particular clutch drum. 42 may come with less clutches, and 44 may come with additional ones. Be sure and order the correct kit for your vehicle. The positive feedback is appreciated.

Just wondering in the process of reinstalling the valve body but keep having issues with the parking rod on my 44re where does it go exactly keeps getting jammed or stuck in the overdrive assembly

@SouthpawAutoworks Жыл бұрын

The rod get's pushed into the Park Pawl, located in the rear of the extension housing (Overdrive Housing). The Park Pawl (housing) and Park Gear (rotating assembly) may be in a position where the Park Pawl can not physically move out of the way of the Park Rod, during assembly. If I was dealing with this issue, I'd rotate the output shaft slowly while installing the rod. This will allow the Park Pawl to move.

That vehicle should be equipped with the 46RH (also known as the A518). The 46RH looks just like the 42/44RE...nearly identical, in a lot of ways. The 46RH uses bigger internal components, designed to handle more power. The units are very similar in many ways. However, the transmission controls are quite different. The "H" in the RH stands for hydraulic. The "E" in RE stands for electronic.

@@SouthpawAutoworks by the way I love the video one of the best I’ve ever seen as far as this assembly I think a lot of people want to see it overhauled there are some important key factors with this unit especially when it comes to setting up the clearances as Andy pointed out every time you post you inspire me to broaden my knowledge to other units right now I’m addicted to the 4L60E and have been for years it all started with the 700R4 and TH400/4L80 and TH350 and 350C General motor is junkie lol 😝 ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
