The Liberty was introduced in 2002 with the 45RFE transmission that was also used in the older Wrangler and the "box" Cherokee. It was a pretty decent transmission but in 2003.5 the 42RLE replaced it. The 42RLE was the automatic transmission in all the gas powered Liberties from 2003.5 to 2012. Its also in the 2003-2006 Wranglers behind the 2.4 4 cylinder engines.
As designed the 42RLE evolved from the A604/41TE that was used in underpowered V6s and 4 cylinder front wheel drive cars and minivans and it was pretty good in that capacity. Bumping the engine up to 200+ hp and hooking it up to 4X4 and telling people how "tough" it was caused them to fail by the bucket load. Dodge also used them as the base transmission in the 2003.5-2012 3.7 powered Rams. They didn't do very well there either. There's a reason most fleet trucks were Fords and Chevys in that time frame even though the Dodge was cheaper.

I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
