Is there a better direct replacement for a 42RLE in a 06 Rubicon?

[QUOTE="drivermod, post: 716168, member: 4658"] I too had some issues with the 42RLE in my 05 Rubicon. Often times after running around in 4 low for a bit, it would shift weird when I went back to 2wd. For starters, try disconnecting the battery. This seemed to reset the shifting patterns. Workded for me every time I had shifting issues. I looked into alternative transmissions as well but as far as I could tell a swap wasn't going to be very straight forward. Starting in the 2005 Wranglers the transmission did not have a separate ECU from the engine which complicates things. I've read that up through 2004 Jeeps swapping to an AW4 isn't a big deal. The AW4 is a great transmission but do some research. May not be worth doing. I've since sworn off any Jeeps with the 42RLE. [/QUOTE]
