How to Remove and Replace an Automatic Transmission!

- Watch my Son Zach and I go step by step through my Haynes Manual to remove and replace the automatic transmission in my 2005 - 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK. Step by step and it should be similar for other vehicles. See the link below of the metal shavings.
I would really appreciate your smashing that "Applaud" button and leaving a little something if this video helped you. Thanks!

I've found this Manual to be much more detailed than Haynes.

Here is the link to previous video where I found all the metal chips/shavings in the pan:

Love the father son working together part, reminding me I have not passed down much of my car repair skill to my son.
Thanks Leslie, yeah I really enjoy those times. Maybe you still can!
Gonna change my 2004 WJ soon here, been watching a few jeep videos on transmissions just to give me some confidence glad that this can be done by a DIYer!
Yessir it can! Be patient and just work through it. Thanks for the comments! Let us know how it goes and give me a follow and Subscribe as there will be more!
Man your videos were very helpful good contribution
Glad to hear Damarius! Thanks for the comment!
Great video... very thorough and I love the father-son team work. You are both very calm and focused as you work through it :)
I have to replace the rear engine seal in my Commander very soon and I’m thinking to swap the torque converter while I’m in there. I have a subtle rumble sensation that can be felt at idle and when driving. I think the torque converter isn’t spinning perfectly balanced anymore from internal build up and years of use (180k kms), otherwise the transmission still shifts great.
Does the flex-plate have to be matched to the converter? I haven’t taken that into account before... I’ll have to research a bit.
Thank you so much for the nice comments vrsoft! You might as well while you're in there. Thanks again for the nice comments! Give us a follow and Subscribe as there will be more!
So If my transmission on my jeep goes bad do you recommend me to install new transmission or change fluid??
Sorry I didn't see this! Without driving the vehicle it's hard to say. I think I would suggest the cheaper oil change and see what that does.
So changing the ATF fluid only worked for two weeks? I am guessing the trans started slipping again. Any vehicle with that many miles (over 150,000) they say its best to not open up the trans pan, and just check the trans oil level. My 2005 has 260,000 miles is slower but still shifts, I don't drive it over 60 mph. The trans fluid is still pink in color. I was thinking about doing a complete trans flush but now I will just drive it and check the level, or buy a new trans. BUT on a 18 year old vehicle? when it is time to do that I will buy another vehicle
Yeah I knew it was going bad but hoped to extend the life of it. That transmission is notorious for going bad!
Okay so finally got some time to finish my swap, got the old one out. Having trouble installing the new one. I got a jack and 2x6 under the pan and a jack on the tail end. Seems to me the tail end has to be lower so the trans gets mounted at an angle? We had the torque converter “nipple” lined up with the hole of the fly wheel. Tried pushing the trans forward by hand and pry bar but no luck
Yes the tail end needs to be a little lower. Take your time and be patient. Walk away and take a break if you need to. Hopefully you have someone helping you.
One question out of all this: The dip stick line must be removed to have clearance of freeing the transmission from the torque converter?
You are correct, it does need to be removed in order to get the transmission out from underneath the vehicle. If I remember right, I believe it is just the one bolt attaching it to the transmission. Thanks for the question! Give us a follow and Subscribe as there will be more!
@@OurSimpleAdventures I most definitely will! Yes I was correct lol. I dropped serval transmissions and people tend to think they're all the same, and they're not.
@@901KIOPROMO Good luck and let us know!
Hay roughly were u from i have a 2006 jeep as well and giving me problems like the ones urs is how can I fix it ???
Hopefully you don't have to swap out the transmission but you probably will. See my other transmission videos.
Roughly how many hours did it take to replace the transmission?
Hi Mazen, Thanks for the question! I think it took 20-25 hours as I was filming and it was my first time. Give us a follow and Subscribe as there will be more!
In order to separate the trani from the engine after removing all bellhousing bolts and disconnecting all electrical components; when it comes to the flywheel vs torque converter.... what do you need to unbolt in order to be able to move the trani back just a little bit...? I need to change the flex plate (flywheel) only please help
Hi. If you watch the video there is a gap at the bottom where you can see the flywheel to converter bolts. You have to turn the motor one bolt at a time. I think there were 6 bolts. Then you should be able to get to the flywheel itself. Let us know how it goes! Please Subscribe and hit that notification bell. Thanks!
Did u have to change the transmission because the transmission fluid change cause problems?
No it didn't have anything to do with the fluid. It is the 2nd time I've replaced the transmission. Horrible transmission. What do you mean? Low level or wrong fluid? Give us a follow and Subscribe as there will be more!
It was slipping and grinding and you saw the metal chunks. The fluid had to be changed.
Hey! How’s it going? How exactly did you know that the trans was garbage? I assume we have the same transmission. The “nag1” Mercedes trans. Any who I got a code P0778 for a pressure shift solenoid, I swapped it out and still not moving. Took the Jeep to the shop and they connected they’re computer and said it was something internal.
Mine was slipping then grinding. It's still doing ok right now. Thanks for the comments! Give us a follow and Subscribe as there will be more!
Our Simple Adventures I was driving then the vehicle made a sound like the motor couldn’t breath. I pulled over, checked underneath seen their wasn’t anything leaking, jumped back in and started it back up, and it wouldn’t move sadly. I subscribed!
@@jbug9936 Gotcha and Thanks for Subscribing!
@@OurSimpleAdventures hey quick question, I got the drive shaft off and the cross member off. But I’m having trouble getting the bolts off where the exhaust meets the manifold (the 15s). The top bolts just keeps spinning and I can’t seem to get a wrench or bolt to hold it in place
@@jbug9936 you may need to come from above and try jam something to old that nut so it doesn't spin. Just be patient with it. you'll get it.
Hey you’re in Phoenix too wanna help me change mine out. Lol
Ha! I wish I had time Larry! What part of the Valley do you live in?
I’m over in Arcadia , lol well your video has helped me a lot I think it’s something I may be able to tackle.
@@AyyLarry Glad to hear it helped. It makes it way more fun to do these video when I hear it helps. Thanks Man! I appreciate your comments! I'm north of you btw..
Our Simple Adventures hey one more question before I tackle this , is there going to be any reprogramming or anything that I will need to do? I have the old transmission out and the new one should be here tomorrow. But I don’t wanna make a silly mistake and mess it up
@@AyyLarry I did not need to do any kind of programming but I pulled mine from a wrecked wk. Just to be sure I think I would ask the people you're buying it from. Let us know how it goes!
That’s a nag 1 transmission (W5A580)
