@Raymond Larcom The shifts had jerks. So it would not shift to the next gear and the engine will rev up and then the transmission will shift with a kick.
Just completed my repair. Same symptoms, when cold rough and slipping between 1-2-3. After warm up, all ok. I only replaced spring, broken in half. Adjusted the rear band while I had tranny opened up. Shifting perfectly again at 220,000 miles. Great video. 3.9, 42re.
Wonderful. Thank you for the comment.
Adjusted rear band? I recently replaced the same part and have the same issue repeating.
I did as you said and no problem disassembling and put it back on
Great, I am glad that my video was helpful.
Hey dude, thanks a lot for the video! All the tutorials I could find were either for the 45RFE and talked about having to remove the valve body... well, after watching your video I cracked mine open and replaced the solenoid/sensor and 3-4 spring (mine was also broken) and she shifts like new!
Great to hear! Glad the video was helpful.
Thank you so much I've SPENT DAYS trying to Figure out my jeep problem. My SPRING WAS ALSO BROKEN
Wonderful that the video helped you solve the issue.
Great video and think I'll do the same on my 2001 4.7. Everything has basically been changed...all the packs, etc, but still getting a dopey check engine light that fires off after the light is cleared.
You should find the error codes if check engine light is firing off. Here is one of the first videos I did on how to check error codes on these WJs - th-cam.com/video/U7DzQNiuj8c/w-d-xo.html.
Awesome video, thank you for the instructions it is very thorough 👍
I am glad to hear that the video is helpful.
Best thing you can do to 42re add a transmission temperature gauge and a cooler
My Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ came with a small transmission cooler next to the radiator. I am not sure if it was included in all WJs or ones with a trailer package only. I do tow with this Jeep, so very necessary to have a tranmission cooler.
Indi the transmission cooler that comes with the tow package is pretty useless.Doing a google search you can find transmission cooler that makes a difference in performance.
I run two 12 by 13 inch transmission coolers and a deep Pan from PmL nine quarts to fill in my supercharged wj,so far I haven’t gone over 160 degrees.
I ordered the governor off of the link on your description on Amazon and I got sent a rostra one instead of mopar
Was it delivered from the Amazon Mopar store? I would ask the seller why it is not Mopar as advertised. I will not recommend anything other than OEM Mopar part from a reputable Mopar vendor.
Thanks! This helped me quite a bit!
Good to know. Thank you for the comment.
Thanks now i go buy spring too before service
Good idea to replace that spring as part of service. It is pretty inexpensive.
Agree with everyone here. One of the best videos I've ever seen regarding any repairs. Very well done. Does the spring have a specific code?I paused and read.

Thank you very much.
Thank you, glad to hear the video was helpful.
Nice, same exact problem on my 2003 IL V6 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. Switch out the oil and pan already but slipping a tad. Will this fix my issue or should I replace the whole Transmission?
You should replace the solenoid if not already replaced. That should fix your issue. Also use OEM Mopar parts. I have the links in the description - amzn.to/33bgLz1 or amzn.to/37b8PRV. Also check the accumulator spring. It is a good idea to replace that when you are at replacing the solenoid.
Amazing video!!! Very helpful and thorough thank you 😊
Thank you.
Really helpful thanks for the help and advice
You are welcome.
Might have to do this thanks man
Any time
Very useful information. Thanks alot
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing video..! Very helpful
Thank you
Thank you very much.
You are welcome!
why does my jeep grand Cherokee
shifts when at a stop light every 15 sec sometime it takes a little while to start doing this
Hmm... Left turns... Leaky Fluid...
If you were low on fluid the first time would you recommend that I reuse the 20 year old gasket or will it leak again?
Did you have any issues with it?
Thank you again for your videos!
Much Love
I have leaks when I switched the pan with Dorman aftermarket pan with the drain plug. I kept the same gasket that came with the car. I might switch the gasket at some point or switch to the original pan which may be stronger than the aftermarket one to seal better. If you are using the original pan, then try a new gasket and let us know how that worked. Also see my other video on left turn issue - th-cam.com/video/FkZq4ylBJW8/w-d-xo.html.
2 alarm Trans over Temp ... O/D . What is problem. .can you help me .. Tanks
Check the cooling fan and see if the small trans cooler is working well. If you have cooling fan issues, check my other video th-cam.com/video/KhUDJLgLtBQ/w-d-xo.html for electrical fan or this one th-cam.com/video/5rmZZHRozEg/w-d-xo.html for clutch fan.
How do I contact you with regards to a similar issue on my vehicle?
Good job! I think I can do this now!
Go for it!
Thanks Indi.
My pleasure 😊
great video! how can you tell what type of transmission your jeep has?
The transmission number is on the side of the transmission itself. My Jeep WJ has a Select Trac (you will see this on the transmission lever) and the engine is a 4.0 L Inline 6. These have a 42RE Transmission. The bigger engines (4.7L) have a Quadra Trac II transmission and possibly a 44RE. Note that some parts for a 1999-2000 42RE are a bit different than the 2001-2004 42RE. So make sure you are getting the correct part (e.g. solenoid) for exact fit.
Can also look at the door jam, a lot of info there...or by your Vin #, call jeep give them number.
thank you for sharing this video. I have a 1999 Grand Cherokee that will not shift into first gear. so all the shift solenoids are within reach once I remove the cover? Now is it best to replace all the solenoids or just the one that is in charge of shifting the first gear?
Is it not downshifting to first? Or is it not engaging even during start? Yes, once you open the transmission pan, you can access the solenoid and pressure sensor. The solenoid is the one that goes bad mostly, so you can try replacing that first. Also check the accumulator spring (th-cam.com/video/IvC_cRzJjPM/w-d-xo.html) and make sure you have enough transmission fluid (th-cam.com/video/FkZq4ylBJW8/w-d-xo.html). Both will give trouble with shifting.
@@DIYWithIndi thanks for replying. It will not shift into first gear unless I release on the accelerator at around 2,200 rpm and feel it engage. All other gears including overdrive work and shift smoothly.
@@alfredolopez-bruce6199 The usual suspects are low transmission fluid (th-cam.com/video/FkZq4ylBJW8/w-d-xo.html), broken accumulator spring (th-cam.com/video/IvC_cRzJjPM/w-d-xo.html) or bad solenoid (th-cam.com/video/P42z4vqnlsA/w-d-xo.html). You may be low on fluid. The first thing I will check. See the first video link th-cam.com/video/FkZq4ylBJW8/w-d-xo.html on how to properly check fluid level.
Hey man great video, I have a 2000 WJ 4.7 and it started shifting hard from 1-2 and the kickdown from 4 to 2nd is really hard, do you have any idea on were to start? Cheers man! Oil and filer were swapped 5k ago.
The usual suspects are low transmission fluid (th-cam.com/video/FkZq4ylBJW8/w-d-xo.html) or broken accumulator spring (th-cam.com/video/IvC_cRzJjPM/w-d-xo.html) or bad solenoid (th-cam.com/video/P42z4vqnlsA/w-d-xo.html). I will check the accumulator spring for problems with downshifting. Note that mine is a 42RE transmission, probably not the same as yours with a 4.7L engine.
Adjust the kick down cable
Thanks for this video, in cold oil I have a problem with engaging 2nd gear from the first. I will be changing the oil in a few days and first I will check this solenoid.
Has anyone heard of howyou can check the resistance of this solenoid with a multimeter? What values are normal?
Ok, I find something: "Governor Solenoid(4617210) 3.8-4.0 ohms"
Can you check your old solenoid resistance to compare?
Engaging from 1st to 2nd gear problem may be related to either low transmission fluid (th-cam.com/video/FkZq4ylBJW8/w-d-xo.html) or bad solenoid. I am not sure about measuring the solenoid with multimeter. Possibly someone on the internet has an answer. I will suggest replacing the solenoid when you change the oil.
Hey INDI! My wj isnhard shift when going out of first into second but mostly when cold, once it’s heats or warms up hard shifts is gone, how can I check that this is what I may need to do, I got no codes or warning lights that have come on
You won't get codes for hard shifting. Replacing the solenoid will help. Change the fluid if you have not done it recently. Also check the accumulator spring - th-cam.com/video/IvC_cRzJjPM/w-d-xo.html.
If the spring break what is affected the overdrive?
Yes, you will surely see issues shifting on the highway.
Indi Great video
Thank you so much 😀
Hi, I literally own the same jeep. Same color and all, although mine is a 2002. After doing all this maintenance, how is you're jeep doing now? Do you still own the jeep?
Good choice on the color. Still own it and drove it for multiple long drives recently.
@@DIYWithIndi That's awesome, I'm glad your jeep is doing good. I'm getting ready to do maintenance in my vehicle now, you're videos helped me so much and saved me over a thousand dollars rather than going to the mechanic. Thank you very much and take care.
I used an aftermarket solenoid from rostra to replace my old one. Now its stuck limp mode/won't leave first gear. The aftermarket solenoid I used was slightly bigger than the one I took out. Would this be causing the problem?
Possibly yes, the gap of the solenoid that sticks out is very important. You can revert back to the original one to make sure it is the cause. I always recommend genuine Mopar parts though they can be expensive.
@@DIYWithIndi thank you. I just bought one from the link in the description
@@aydinmatney8622it’s not best to reuse the fluid correct.. i just recently changed my fluid and now i think my solenoid is going bad (p0783) now i have to drop the pan again 🤦🏽♂️
I think you just saved me a lot of head scratching. Thanks my friend. ALSO notices your jeep is running a little hotter than mine. I've got a 180 thermostat. An electric fan (just a cheapo aftermarket i got from a flea market) and the clutch fan from Mopar. My jeep never rises above 200 now and normal sits around 180. Now what was that spring called again?
Glad to hear the video was helpful. The spring is called 3-4 Accumulator Spring - amzn.to/35guOWB (see the links in description above). I have a couple of videos on the cooling fan replacement and clutch fan. I gave up on the electric fan because of that relay issue. The clutch fan has been working well so far.
Mine shift better when it hot, but once it rain r temp drop, shift erratic
That is the opposite of what mine was doing. Mine shifted erratic when the transmission was hot. You may want to replace the solenoid if you have not changed it in a while.
@@DIYWithIndi I replaced the black one recently the pressure sensor not the governor.
IF it does nt shift to overdrive ,you think is the spring ?
Very possible it is a broken accumulator spring, but there are other reasons too. th-cam.com/video/IvC_cRzJjPM/w-d-xo.html
Is this the transmission control solenoid
This is the governor pressure solenoid.
Are all these parts compatible with a 2000 jeep grand cherokee laredo cause ur video says 2001
Should be. If you follow the links in the video details to product pages on Amazon, it will check the fit for your jeep.
@@DIYWithIndi so the transducer pressure says it don't fit
@@cs9064 You are correct, the pressure sensor transducer 56028196AD does not work for 2000. It applies to 2001-2004 - store.mopar.com/oem-parts/mopar-pressure-sensor-transducer-56028196ad.
Seems like the part # for 2000 is 68164850AA amzn.to/3NYq7E4 which is replaced by 56028196AD. Verify it by searching the internet.
@@DIYWithIndi yes correct will do but I think the one u have listed is correct but thank again for ur time an help.
Is the whining noise at 16:10 normal when taking off?
You are probably hearing the clutch cooling fan. I have another video th-cam.com/video/5rmZZHRozEg/w-d-xo.html .
U didn't get code for transmission solenoid
No, there was no error code for this.
Will this solenoid work on 2002 v6 ?
Your 2002 Jeep WJ has a V6 or I6? It should be all inline 6 cylinders. If so, it is also 42RE transmission. You can check the fit on the Amazon link I provided - amzn.to/33bgLz1 or amzn.to/37b8PRV
how much should a job like this cost?
Not sure, depends on where you live. Parts will cost couple of hundreds and should be an hour of labor. So I am guessing $300-$400.
457,674. Almost a half a million
Wow
My 99 WJ 4.0 slips just when turning left. Anyone have suggestions to check for?
Interesting that I have also noticed slippage while turning. Now that you said 'left turn', I have to confirm that it happens on left turn only. In my case it happens when the transmission is cold and I ignore it since it happens at low speeds. I would suggest the usual transmission maintenance - dirty or low fluid, dirty solenoid and pressure sensor (I have to replace pressure sensor in mine). The other item is to tighten the bands. I have not tried tightening the bands yet. Let us know if anything else fixes your issue.
Hey man did u ever figure it out my trans is doing like the exact same thing to a tea would love to hear back thanks
I've topped off the fluid and check it regularly. Seems to have taken care of the issue for a few months now. I did find a leak at the line connection to the trans fluid cooler too. Hope it helps.
@@bobby_mojo413 thanks u saved me from droppin a tranny pan today👌
@@andrewwarren5554 excellent
How the spring break like that?
The spring gets brittle with age. I should have replaced it years ago.
@@DIYWithIndi do a video about the TV cable how to ajust it.
Do you have a part # on the spring you replaced? Great video..
@@jesseochoa5826 what code show You with this issue ?
@@pakoobregon2880 P1762 on my 2001 GC laredo 4.0 6 cyl. If you have this Jeep, you can put the car in on and off 3 times ( don't start engine just in and off position, on third dash board will give you the code
