Thumbs up Jeep JK Wrangler 42RLE Automatic Transmission Service Write-Up



Changing out your Jeep JK Wrangler’s 42RLE Automatic Transmission fluid and filter is something you should do as a good part of regular maintenance. And, while doing this isn’t something as easy as a normal engine oil change where you basically pull a drain plug, swap out an external filter and refill with oil when done, it certainly isn’t a difficult job and doing it yourself can save you a lot of money. Of course, having the right tools will make all the difference and as is the case with all my write-ups, I have included a complete list of everything you will need to make this job go without a hitch.

Default Great write-up and timing

Have my Amsoil and Lubelocker ready to go for this weekend. Figured the bolts above the exhaust cross-over would be a pain and didn't know about bolt #5. Great write-up. Thanks WOL and gryph0n!

LOL!! i didn't even know that lubelocker made a gasket for the tranny sump pan. FWIW, using RTV is just as easy to use - or, at least i think so anyway
