'02 Cherokee Overdrive reinstall problem

Mar 12, 2007 3 Replies

Good evening, everyone!



I was asked ny a friend to reinstall his overdrive unit in his Cherokee this weekend. He was recently injured and could not assist me, other than lending moral support from his wheelchair.



I was unable to get the overdrive unit mated to the bellhousing of the tranny, lacking about one inch until it mated. I feel all the splines were aligned but couldn't physically push the unit all of the way.



There was a thin metal rod justing out from the tranny..could that be stopping the unit from mating completely? I was hesitant to use any force.



Do we need an alignment tool of any kind or just a big hammer? :-)



Thanks in advance!



Pat


Any chance you're referring to the OD unit on the Dodge automatic?
