42RLE Pump, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 42RLE. Ships fast from the USA.
If your Jeep Liberty, Wrangler TJ or JK, Dodge Dakota, Durango or Nitro has a 42RLE that whines with engine speed, takes a few seconds to pull into Drive or Reverse after sitting, or slips in every gear, the front pump belongs on the suspect list. This is an original Mopar 42RLE oil pump assembly with reference numbers 04659695 and 04659715. It is a used OEM pump that has been cleaned, inspected and tested, not an aftermarket copy, and it comes as the complete pump with its stator support shaft as shown in the photo.
The 42RLE is the rear-wheel-drive member of Chrysler's 41TE family, and like the front-drive units it relies on a single gear-type pump bolted behind the torque converter. The converter hub turns the pump gears, and that flow feeds line pressure, converter charge, cooler flow and lube. The stator support shaft that sticks out of the pump also does real work: its sealing rings carry apply oil to the input clutches, and the input clutch hub bushing rides on it. Sonnax lists the 42RLE among the units where excess clearance between that bushing and the stator support leaks underdrive oil and kills the underdrive clutch early. A pump with a scored support can burn clutches even when its gears still spin freely.
Check fluid level and condition first; a low 42RLE will act like a weak pump. Then read the clutch volume index for each clutch with a scan tool. One high CVI points to that clutch. Several high CVIs together with slip in every gear point toward low pressure from the pump or regulator. On pre-2007 fixed line pressure units, a gauge on the case pressure taps gives the clearest answer. Our 41TE slipping under load guide covers the pressure checks for this family, and the Ultradrive problems guide helps rule out solenoid and electrical faults that can mimic a mechanical failure.
This pump fits 42RLE transmissions, used from 2003 on in the Jeep Liberty, Wrangler TJ and JK, Dodge Dakota, Durango and Nitro, plus some Charger and Chrysler 300 models. It does not fit the front-drive 41TE. Do not order on year and model alone: compare the pump casting, inner gear, stator shaft design and bolt pattern with your old pump, and check the number on your original against 04659695 or 04659715. Send us your VIN, transmission tag and a photo of your pump if you want fitment confirmed before you buy. More 42RLE parts are on our 41TE and 42RLE collection page, and a second listing of this pump is here for 2003-2011 units.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It is a used original Mopar 42RLE pump that has been cleaned, inspected and tested before shipping. It is not a new aftermarket pump, so light cosmetic marks are normal.
42RLE-equipped vehicles from 2003 on, including the Jeep Liberty, Wrangler TJ and JK, Dodge Dakota, Durango and Nitro, and some Charger and 300 models. Confirm by matching your old pump's number to 04659695 or 04659715 and comparing casting and stator shaft.
No. The 42RLE is the rear-wheel-drive version of the family. Front-drive 41TE units use their own pumps, listed on our 41TE collection page.
A front pump seal and gasket, stator support sealing rings, and any burned clutches. Check the input clutch hub bushing and the converter hub while it is apart.
No programming is needed for the pump. Refill with ATF+4, check the level hot, reset adaptives and run the quick learn with a scan tool.
