42RE Rebuild Part 2, The Valvebody 

Good job Gary, keep up the great work you do

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience very helpful.

thank for little steel checkball locations

A great thank you for your videos, Gary, I've seen them all that have to do with this transmission. I definitely will use these videos to fix my 42RE transmission, I have the same issue with my transmission. If you have any of your videos up for sale, please let me know so I can buy them to have them as reference. Thank you again for your expertise. God bless you.

Been a mechanic most of my life, but have never rebuilt an auto. I have a 44RE and for a while has shown it’s age. Recently I had one of the solenoids replaced. The one that controls shifts from 1st to 2nd, if my terminology is correct. The other day things went bad. It’s would rev up a little to much in first and not shift. Got it to shift by switching shifter positions. Then I experienced slipping. Now it has a real bad whining/squealing while parked in R N D 2 1. Increasing the revs in the respected gear, it kind of goes away, and makes what sounds like a hydraulic bypassing type sound. Like a power steering pump bypassing. I remembered days before experiencing a pulsing in acceleration whiling backing into driveway. Thanks for your video. I may attempt to rebuild it for the experience.

Thanks for Sharing

What is the block you used to sand the valve body mating surfaces? And what grit?

thank you so much. from Germany Berlin

Thank you!

Muchas grasias Gary por tu vídeo de como desarmar y como armar el cuerpo de valvulas yo pude aserle una compstura ami camioneta de lo mismo grasias

Hi, I have a question, I like your videos and I have a situation with my Cherokee Laredo 99 4x4, the transmission was acting erratic , changing from 1st to 4th and so on, I changed the oil, I changed the filter, for about 10 minutes it was working again , then it stayed in Neutral, I turned it off, started again , drove for 2 minutes and it went back to neutral, I did the same thing a couple of times and it kept on going back to neutral, I’m not sure what else to try, can you help me , any idea why that would be?

Great video series. Accumulating parts to retro fit a 2000 46re to 1999 model version. have comb, shield, reverse adapter by sonnax, overdrive and harness but read only one place the block needs changed as well, is this the case? the solenoid clips in with the shield on the 2000 and inside the block on a 1999 model correct? will the clip work on the inside of a 2000 for the 1999 solenoid? or do i need a 1999 block as well? Thanks again for taking the time to video, definitely increases build time and complexity.

Gary, what's your opinion on drilling the valve body so trans fluid pumps while in Park instead of just in Neutral? I see people recommend it but not sure if it's a good idea.

Sir can i ask somthing i found checkballs weth spring in to the oil pan i dont now where is that came from can i know wheres that location attach?

But you must be more clean after drill.(for table)

Gary great videos. I am rebuilding a 44re and there us no springs for the plastic accumulator. I heard that it can be ran without them. All other springs are present. I am nearly done and looked everywhere in town yesterday but Noone had them. Online it just shows updated aluminum or rubberized piston but no springs. Can I run it

Do you have a video of how to assemble the overdrive unit and replacement of circlips. My 42re has lost 4th gear and o/d everything else is Ok. Your videos are excellent but have skipped this repair, ie compressing the spring etc

I need to rebuild mine and I got a quote here in L.A. for $1900, does that sound right? I'm mechanically inclined and ingest as much info as I can before attempting a job - do to think this is something I can do myself?

Best regards, I repaired an a518 transmission, the one that comes with only two solenoids. Overdrive and lockup. I completely repaired it, cleaned the valve body. The problem that I have is that it changes from 1a. to 2a. and 2a. to 3a. At very high revs, the engine has to pass 3,000 rpm for the transmission to shift. I have not been able to find the problem, I have lowered the transmission 4 times and I can't find anything that is wrong. any suggestion

How do you test the solenoids to make sure they are good?

I need the round 3 pin canastier sensor instead of the transducer I have a 95 4x4 larado I cant find one . do you know where to get one or can it be upgraded to the transducer?

I rebuild mine I still have the same problem after warmed up it won't move cold drives fine please help

What rebuild kit do you use?

Hello everyone, I'm from Europe and I don't understand the size of the hole in the plate at 2:15. I understood that it has 48000 and must be expanded to 69000, but I do not know this unit of measure if someone can explain to me what 48000 means (inch millimeters????) I would be grateful
