Hey Jeep folks,
Have a question for you jeep folks, I just replaced torque converter in my daughter's 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2L V8 with a 42RE transmission Dacco 792 torque converter, got everything back together ole jeep is running better than I ever remember, but now it is pouring trans fluid out from the bellhousing. I changed the front seal but the seal that local auto parts gave me wasn't an exact match but size was. I have reordered what looks to be same type as what I pulled out is there any other O-Rings or seals that I should change while I have the tranny back down??

Thanks
Bill

 

Unfortunately, from your words here it sounds like it is indeed the wrong size and needs to be replaced again with the correct size. Or you didn't grease the TC shaft good before you put it in and the "O spring" came off the lip of the seal. It wouldn't be the first time this has happened.

 

Oh yes. A 12 hour repair job for a $2 seal! Been there!

Besides that, I think you have the 44re transmission.
