Description
The 42RLE transmission is a compact 4-speed automatic gearbox designed for rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles. First introduced in the early 2000s, it became a standard choice in Jeep and Dodge vehicles, including the Jeep Wrangler (2003–2011), Jeep Liberty, Dodge Nitro, and select Chrysler models. With an integrated overdrive gear, the 42RLE provides improved highway fuel efficiency while maintaining smooth performance in city driving.
At All American Motors Hub, we offer the 42RLE transmission for sale as fully inspected and tested units, ensuring OEM-level reliability. Customers can also choose a remanufactured 42RLE or a 42RLE rebuild kit to restore existing gearboxes. Whether you’re upgrading or replacing your old transmission, the 42RLE automatic transmission delivers the balance of performance, durability, and efficiency needed for daily use and light off-road driving.
42RLE fitment requires matching your specific application year and drivetrain configuration. The Wrangler TJ application uses different output shaft and transfer case interface specifications than the Cherokee Liberty (KJ) application. Our VIN verification process confirms the exact 42RLE for your specific Jeep before it ships.
Jeep Wrangler and Liberty owners comparing a used transmission, a remanufactured transmission, and a rebuild for the 42RLE have a clear value argument for the used OEM route. A used Jeep 42RLE transmission gives you the factory-original OEM transmission — the factory electronic shift calibration, the factory torque converter, the factory Chrysler architecture — at a price that makes keeping a capable Wrangler or Liberty running correctly the practical right choice. Unlike a remanufactured transmission built from reconditioned components, this is an original factory OEM transmission.
Every used Jeep 42RLE transmission ships with up to a 90-day warranty and arrives within 2 to 5 business days. Installation is not included. These are genuine Chrysler OEM units, and we stand behind every one.
