How many 07 Liberty owners have had problems with the 42LRE transmission ??

The reason I bring this during my research on 08 Liberty AND Nitros, I discovered some early manufactured 07 Nitros have had a very significant number of torque convertor failures and other transmission problems with the 42LRE.

Read for yourselves here....

Since Nitros are "supposedly" manufactured alongside Libertys, there MUST be some 07 Libertys affected by these problems as well.

Other than the blasted hesitations between 1,500 to 2,000 rpm, not a single issue.

9,600 miles on mine so far.

QUESTION; and possible Hyjack, Sorry:

Do the Nitros NOT have a dip stick like the Liberty's? I cannot find anybody to tell me why there is no tranny dip stick on my 07. There is on the wife's 02

Is there a connection here? the manufacturer wants us to return to the stealership and remain under there watchfull (greedy) eye?

Lets hope for their sake they don't get the same solution as the CRDs, to detune the engine to a degree they feel will keep the tranny going until our warranties expire.

The shift kit helped the hesitation that you are talking about.

ding ding ding!

you got it! the stealer wants you to bring it in to get the trans serviced and so then they can find another $1000 worth of not needed repairs! :wink:

My tranny went at 47K miles on my '05 Liberty. The dealer installed both a new tranny & transfer case cause both went.

It's a little harder to "detune" and NA gasser compared to a turbo fully electronically controlled oil burner.
