There are really two good video series on YouTube for tearing down an 42/46rh transmission...I used them when I rebuilt mine and they were invaluable. Be aware you will need some specialized tools if you get into the overdrive section...most specifically a 10 ton press as there is an 800 lb spring under compression that you don't want to fool around with...it will take your head off.

 

Proper Diagnosis is critical to saving money. Just take one step at a time YT and some other site have good general diagnostic videos, This guy is very helpful for general automotive info. https://www.ericthecarguy.com/faq/so...ssion-problems

 

Thanks a lot everyone i really appreciate the feedback. I will keep this updated once i get a little time to rip that thing outta there.

 

While you're looking and considering, take a look at http://www.allpar.com/mopar/performa...lite-mods.html ... it might not directly apply, but still, it's good general information. (Shucks, read all three in the series.)

You wouldnt happen to know or have a link to those videos?

Ive been watching some but some have bad quality so im second guessing them since it would be hard to follow doing a rebuild.

Also i will mention my dad was putting in dexron VI the last few times to my knowledge. Would that be a bad thing?

 

Dexron VI? Uhhhh - yah.

ATF+4 is the ONLY proper ATF for a Mopar transmission of this vintage.

There's your problem. Now tell your dad he owes you a transmission probably.


Some people should never touch an engine let alone drive am vehicle.

 

Search for 42rh by mattsmotorz. It's a 6 part series. The other one search a518 by big guy garage.....a 4 part series.

 

Well the thing is this was his truck and he did this all on his own.

he said if i can fix it i can have it

 

Thank You!

This will be tremendous help. will the 42rh and the a518 be pretty much the same as mine. I believe i have a 46re but correct me if im wrong
