Great video! Thank you for this. It really helped me understand my transmission better.

Very good video. For your information, according to Mike Kirk (Chrysler’s director of axle, driveline, and manual transmissions), there were two main reasons for Chrysler’s changes to the ZF automatics. Chrisler production plant at Kokomo was already set up with its own tooling and robotics when this transaxle was inserted on the portfolio;so some changes were made to match Kokomo’s equipment and methods. Chrysler also needs many more transmissions than ZF plans to make. Design choices that make sense for production of 50,000 transmissions a year may not make sense for production of 200,000 per year. My assumption is that the diferences are for production reasons and not to improve performance or reliability.

Great video! VERY informative, thanks for posting.

Wonderful video, thank you.

Gracias por la información sigan haciendo mas vídeos y mucho éxito para este canal ...!!!

a lot of info thanks, greetings from México

Chrysler initially used ZF built 9HP48s in some applications, but they were not like the Land Rover version with the solenoid/sensor connector coming through the case, nor did they have the cooler mounted on the case. The TCM was mounted the same way as it was on the 948TE too. There are multiple versions depending on engines and whether it has 4WD/AWD, but there are 2 variations essentially. Electronic shifter, and cable operated shifter. The valve body differs between the two, the electronic shift adding additional solenoids for the park system. The cable lever on the electronic shift version is the emergency park release in the case the vehicle is disabled in some way.

Can you make a video on the reliability of the transmission? I've seen a lot of complaints that this transmission isn't working properly. It would be good to know if it's "fixable" and if in fact it's even worth fixing.

To clarify, the piece at 5:49 is not the F dog clutch; it is a sun gear which has teeth that engage with the dog clutch when it is hydraulically applied. The F dog is inside the output gear assembly hub, and moves up to engage those teeth on the sun gear, or down to disengage.

One clarifications, Chrysler uses both versions. The 948TE is Chrysler's primary ZF 9 speed, as it is used with their four-cylinder motors. But all CUSW V6 Chrysler cars use the stronger 9HP48. Just from my looks at my (failed, under powertrain warranty) 9HP48 in my 200S V6, it is nearly identical to Land Rover's.

damm good video my friend

very interesting video

I've lifted my v.6 948TE, what are my options for changing final drive, and transfer case gearing with components from a tow package equipeed one, or am I better swapping to a 4.10 or 3.9 equipped Transaxle and rear PTU?

great work Thanks

Any info on a clutch rebuild kit for a 15 948te

They also have different sized drain and fill plugs.

Hi, on the 9hp48, where is the fill plug for the transmission fluid? I apologize but as simple as the answer for experienced mechanic, i cannot find anything online. Pls help

Do you guys know how much horse power the 948 te can take?

Do you recommend that gearbox in petrol engine, for example Fiat 500x? Or it is a dead trap.

Does the differential assembly have a torsen style limited slip in it?

Jeep cherokee 2.2 75th anniversary: zf or 948te?

2017 Chrysler Pacifica - 9 Speed Automatic . There no information about what type of transmission fluid you have to use and how to check the transmission fluid level

Having trouble with my trans on my jeep chch cherokee sport 2015. It surges or misses when changing gear giving a signal jolt. Only seems to be for 1 to 5th gears. Would a fluid change fix this or is it more to do with the computer. Thanks

will the ZF 9HP48 fit in the 3.6 T&C? how much better is the ZF compair to the 62TE?

Can you make a video how to service/flush these transmissions?

Is it safe to use the CVTF+4 fluid for the 948TE?

Only a 4 geared planetary?

FYI there is no transfer case. The chrysler units use a power transfer unit as a "transfer case"

Those trans fit in a grand caravan???

Given they're both from the same design, which is the better transmission?

I have a 9HP48 on my 2016 200C AWD chrysler. How is that possible?

Trying to find what ATF and how much goes in the box seems a big secret. May I ask you please?

Can you fix the problems that Chrysler doesn't seem to be able to fix.

Great video and teardown - no wonder this transmission is so unreliable and one of the worst ever implemented.

HI IS THERE REALLY SPECIAL OIL GOES IN THESE TRANSMISSION

I used to be a buyer of Chrysler products, no more. Since the German's and now Italians bought them Chrysler has been saddled with horrible powertrains from Germany and Italy The expensive to maintain ZF German made transmission now used and the unreliable dual clutch automatics from Fiat and let's not forget Fiat's MultiAir engine. used on many small Jeep products.

Qoqow

fca 9 speed really bad

They are both crap....plastic pan!!!!No wonder they brake down,heat dissipation is close to none.
