| Post subject: | Dodge/Jeep auto tranny TorqueFlite |
Im curious if anyone else out there has somthing to say about the Dodge/Jeep auto tranny the TorqueFlite, which has a veriant that is in our KJ's,,, i think... hears my research... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TorqueFlite Quote: In the 1990s the transmissions were renamed, however the TorqueFlite remains the basis of all current Chrysler designed transmissions. Jeep used several other manufacturers transmissions until 1997, and Mercedes-Benz uses its own design identified by the number "722". Also several of the pickup lines now use transmissions from various sources.
[edit] A500 The A500, later 40RH/42RH (hydraulic) and 40RE/42RE (electronic), was an A904 derivative used in trucks and vans. Introduced in 1988, it was the first light-duty Chrysler four-speed automatic. A tailshaft overdrive unit was bolted to the rear of the case to provide a total of four forward speeds. It has a GCVW of 7,800 lb. Was replaced by the 42RLE in 2004 Is this tranny the same as these? 4-speed Chrysler 45RFE automatic 4-speed Chrysler 42RLE auto 5-speed Chrysler 545RFE automatic I think so, the constant hunting for gears leads me to believe so. I know there are threads wondering lose about tranny mods but i wanted to discuss just what is actualy there now and what i dont like about it. My Dakota had the very same tranny in it and i didnt much care for that tranny either. Anyone notice how the vehicle constaintly wonders about the gears as if its lost, constaintly looking for a gear to call home? |
