A500 1997-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2L RWD – Remanufactured 4-Speed Automatic Trans
Description
Channeling 300 lb-ft of continuous input torque straight toward the rear drive axle under 210 PSI pump force, this Jeep Cherokee 5.2L Remanufactured Transmission resolves gear slip on 1997 to 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2L V8 rear-wheel-drive platforms. Fleet operators gain uninterrupted performance across demanding commercial delivery conditions without vehicle downtime.
High-tensile die-cast aluminum casting walls withstand driveline shudder along uneven road grades. Nitrided steel sun gear shafts mate with induction-hardened planetary carriers to eliminate gear tooth fracture risks under abrupt load spikes. Upgraded governor pressure sensor blocks prevent line fluid leakage across internal passages. Dry weight totals 165 lbs while housing 10.5 quarts of ATF+4 fluid plumbed through dual transmission oil cooler fittings.
Key Features of Jeep Cherokee
Internal clutch slip during aggressive towing acceleration compels fleet managers to buy Jeep Cherokee remanufactured transmission units. Factory-upgraded hydraulic valve bodies restore crisp gear transitions under demanding commercial hauling conditions.
- A 2.74:1 first gear ratio yields strong low-speed vehicle departure force under heavy cargo weight
- Nitrided planet gear teeth prevent fatigue pitting under continuous engine torque transfer cycles
- Dual-lip fluoroelastomer piston seals maintain hydraulic clamping pressure during extreme sub-zero weather
- Hardened steel clutch drums transfer engine power straight through planetary sets without distortion
- The Jeep Cherokee 44RE platform delivers balanced oil feed to clutches under severe operating conditions
- Micro-honed valve bores fitted with hard-coat sleeves stop intermittent shift flare between gears
- Automated dyno diagnostics measure solenoid circuit resistance down to 0.1 ohm before final crating
Torque Management Fluid Dynamics
Four forward gear steps progress from a deep low gear up to a fuel-efficient 0.69:1 top overdrive ratio. Operating clutch fluid circuits generate 125 to 210 PSI line pressure to guarantee instant clutch plate clamping under full throttle. Sump fluid operating temperatures remain stabilized between 160°F and 190°F during intense highway operations. Transmission heat dissipation reaches 820 BTU per minute through high-volume external cooler circuits. Input torque capacity handles 300 lb-ft at 4,400 RPM across demanding fleet shuttle shifts.
Driveline Output Spline Alignment
Interfacing with the driveshaft slip yoke, the precision-machined output spline prevents driveline lash under rapid power transfers. Ductile iron case extensions withstand torque deflection during abrupt load shifts. The internal mechanical parking pawl resists 1,600 lb-ft of static holding torque on steep commercial grades. Output shaft axial runout checks confirm alignment under 0.0025 inches total indicator reading.
Electronic Solenoid Maintenance Standards
Execute complete TCM shift adaptation relearn routines before putting vehicles into commercial service. This transmission is not engineered for track drag racing, extreme rock crawling, or gross combined vehicle weights exceeding factory chassis tow limits.
- Each shift scan transmission control module data streams to verify correct torque converter lockup slip rates
- Every 30 days check fluid color and saturation levels on level shop floors at operating temperature
- Every 30,000 miles drain sump fluid and clean pan magnets to prevent metallic debris from scoring valve bores
Nationwide Fleet Warranty Coverage
Commercial fleet operations receive complete coverage through our 3-Year / 100,000-Mile commercial fleet warranty on internal components. Crated shipments include one remanufactured transmission, an engine-balanced torque converter, replacement cooler connection o-rings, complete technical documentation, plus stamped dyno inspection charts.
