OEM REPLACEMENT Our many 42RE performance enhancing upgrades
Our remanufactured 42RE transmission is built for performance and durability, featuring a fully upgraded valve body, throttle valve, manual valve, four-spool switch valve, pressure regulator, and governor plugs. The enhanced valve body is engineered to keep the torque converter charged even in park, boosting longevity and improving shift performance. A high-performance torque converter ensures optimal fluid control, improved balance, and superior power distribution—surpassing OEM standards. Our precision-machined pump eliminates slippage and maintains equal internal pressure, while the custom eight-plate clutch pack and new thrust plate significantly enhance durability under load.
To further increase reliability, we polish critical bushings to a 16 RA or better mirror finish, improving pressure retention and internal efficiency. Each transmission includes a Hayden external fluid cooler for a limited time, reducing heat and extending the life of your unit. Custom-machined output shafts are compatible with both early and late-style yokes, while the oversized reverse brake strut eliminates clearance and drum slippage issues. A heavy-duty five-pinion planetary gear set gives the 42RE exceptional torque-handling capability. Every transmission is dyno-tested and performance-verified before shipping, ensuring you're getting a product that's built to perform and built to last.

Core Deposit
Helping us give you the best prices available.
This part is sold at a price based on a rebuildable core being returned to us. The recycled metals and components can assist the manufacturing process keeping our prices to an all time low. This temporary deposit is withheld to ensure that we receive your damaged unit.
How is the core deposit charged?
How is the core deposit charged? At the time of purchase the core deposit will be added to the customers total. Once the core is received and processed at our facility, the deposit will then be issued back to the customer.
How long do I have to return my core?
To receive a full deposit your core must be received within 30 days after the delivery of your part. Late fees may be assessed to cores that are returned beyond 30 days from the customers original purchase date. Any extensions must be proved by a sales manager.
Refund Time?
Orders are typically refunded back onto the credit card within 1-3 weeks after the core arrives. Check orders will be mailed back. Call to verify arrival if you have not been refunded within your 3 week window.
How do I return the core?
In most situations your unit will be delivered with a shipping form called the “Bill of Lading”. You or your shop can send the core back with the delivery driver or at a later date by calling the shipping company to schedule a pickup. Be sure to use our shipping form or the shipping company may bill you personally. If your form has been lost or misplaced you will have to call our shipping department to generate a replacement.
Bad or missing core?
If there is no core to exchange, in most cases we can just add the deposit amount to the purchase price. In addition, you will only be required to pay a one way shipping fee. In the case that our stock becomes low on a certain core, we may charge an increased amount for the core when there is not one to exchange. In the rare case a core becomes critically low we reserve the right not to sell a product without a core exchange.
Can I send my core first?
On manual transmissions, engines and transfer cases you can send us your core before we send out your unit. By doing this overall shipping may take longer but you will not be required to pay a core deposit just shipping and the price of your part.
Excessive Damage?
A core must be buildable to receive a full deposit. If you have any questions about acceptable core conditions, please call us at 1-888-995-7278.
