| Post subject: | Replacing the 42RLE |
So I took the jeep in for the reverse. Said clutch was burned out. Wants 3400 to replace it. The mechanic was a lot bigger than me so I bit my tongue. I found a used transmission here with 32,000 kms on it (20,000 miles?) for 750. So I'm just wondering what I'm up against. I've done the tranny in a 2wd truck in a driveway, but to be honest it didn't really turn out that great. Not sure why other than we had crap tools and an over all crap set up. Never done 4wd. My friend owns a oil change shop and said I can use it during closed hours so Saturday night to Monday morning. Any thoughts? Any tips? Work has been slow for me the last month so I could really use the savings. |

Besides the top 2 bellhousing bolts it's a real easy job.Maybe 3-4 hours to do. |

Thanks! I am a little daunted by the task, but that's encouraging to hear! If it takes you 4 hours the most it should take me is 8!! Ha ha. I can live with that! |

I swapped the clutch in my 03 in about 12 hours, mind you I have little to no experience. This was on a lift with a full shop of tools at disposal. Mind you I tend to take a few breaks during the process. |
