According to the technical service bulletin TSB 21-001-13, the 2003 – 2004 Jeep Wrangler TJ equipped with the 42RLE automatic transmission may have difficulty going into gear, go into limp mode, and will have the diagnostic trouble code/DTC P1776.
What Transmission Do I Have?
Every vehicle has its own particular set of issues. It’s comprised of thousands of moving parts, so things are naturally going to break. These technical service bulletins are designed to help technicians quickly fix problems that are common to vehicles in the automakers portfolio. The Jeep Wrangler P1776 diagnostic trouble code problem is apparently pretty common, and can be caused by a number of issues. Including an out of adjustment shifter cable could cause this code. But, a bad pressure switch or sticking solenoid switch valve could require a new solenoid pack. A new valve body could be required because of sticking valves inside of the valve body, or damage to the OD accumulator piston bore.
In this age of economic uncertainty, you might want to consider keeping your vehicle on the road for as long as possible. Interest rates and car prices aren’t going down anytime soon. So if the rest of your truck is in decent order mechanically, a remanufactured 42RLE transmission can keep you on the road a lot longer than a standard rebuild. It’s also warrantied for 3-years/unlimited miles, and that warranty is good anywhere in the country. Plus we offer low-to-no interest financing too.
