I’ve been telling myself for years I’d finally get this written down to help organize and explain how and why I did certain things with my Jeep.
Quick backstory: it’s my first car—I got it when I was 15—and I’ve never stopped loving the damn thing. I front-halfed and back-halfed it while daily...
I have scoured the internet trying to find any information on whether or not you can bolt the Jeep 32RH (Torqueflite 999) to a 1992+ Dodge Magnum 5.2 or 5.9 V8. Some people have said yes, but offer no proof or info. Some say no, but offer no proof or info. I am not asking if the 32RH can handle...
Have anyone successfully replaced shift shaft seal on 98 2.5 auto? I found there are two different part numbers with .813 inner dia seal and also some sites show that I need .93 inner dia seal. So which one do I need? There are a lot of posts here about new seals leaking shortly after...
I've replaced my shift shaft seal 3x's now and fluid is still leaking. I was able to use a ball joint press to seat the seal properly, the third time replacing the seal I coated it with RTV and let it dry for 24hrs before refilling the trans.
Each time I replaced the seal I did it without...
I’ve seen heaps of post around the place about a “TCC solenoid circuit” (P0743) error code however i can’t make heads or tails of how to check it or what to do next.
i just installed a second hand 32RH transmission from a 1997 TJ into my 2002 TJ everything has gone smoothly except the external...
Hey, I bought a 2002 tj 4.0 with 32rh automatic, the po replaced the transmission(I don't know if he used thr right year model, or if the year matters) but he said after that he couldnt get it to run and said it was not getting power to the fuel pump! He cut and hacked up the factory wiring...
Hi all,

Allegedly the previous owner had a shop rebuild the trans
I've replaced the rear seal on my 32RH adapter housing with a Teraflex extended seal. I noticed that the wall where the seal sits is marred up from the previous "mechanic", I smoothed...
Hey all, so I've been getting quotes and facing reality on the costs involved to upgrade my diffs/axles on my 99 TJ. I've been doing a lot of research here and have arrived at the following plan for a "budget" front/rear axle upgrade.
Before I get into the plan, here is what I'm working with. I...
Hello, after seeing several members tackle 32RH rebuilds I followed suit. 5w20 will work in a 32RH to get you home, ask me how I know. During the tear down I noticed my lockup solenoid is in bad order. PO or shop apparently melted the connector from the inside of the case to the through case...
I’m am experiencing a hesitation with RPM surge right after 2nd gear is engaged. The shift occurs at roughly 1500 RPM and seems smooth until the hesitation with 250ish RPM surge occurs.
Additional Notes:
-The shift into 3rd is perfectly smooth.
-Fluid level is good (checked at operating temp...
Hey everyone, I have a 2002 Jeep TJ 4.0L that is shifting almost immediately from 2nd to 3rd gear. I attempted to adjust the shift points at the TV/Kickdown cable on the throttle body but this did not make much of a difference no matter how far I adjusted the cable to each side. The transmission...
Hello all!
I’ve since recently purchased an 02 wrangler with the amazing 4.0 and 32RH to replace my 2.5l ax5. The old jeep was fantastic but ive been blessed enough to get a new job that allows me to financially afford this new to me Jeep. I’m an aircraft mechanic and love working on my Jeep...
So at some point in my 02's life one of the owners swaped the 32rh out for a 42re. I called the shop that replaced the tranny for the PO and they confirmed in their buil sheet it was a 42. Well in typical fashion two days after bringing her home, the tranny starts to slip in 2nd (with a whopping...
My brother left his Jeep with me so me and my dad could take it to get the trans oil filter replaced, so for him to commute around for the next couple of days I let him use mine.
He calls us 20 or so minutes after he leaves and says that white smoke is coming from underneath the body and for us...

So like five years ago, when I bought my 97 TJ 4.0 and drove it home for the first time, I had to inform my husband the tranny felt like it was slipping. Fast forward couple years, keep in mind that we didn't drive it very much at all. Not till the rear end went out on the daily driven Ram. A...
