> gf buys Jeep WJ w/ 200k miles for $700, overheated, computer has a short, failed emissions, tire blew out on high way - basically a lemon > been working on it for months, can't afford a mechanic > 214k miles, drop the tranny pan to change the filter, find 2 pieces exactly like this > apparently it's a piece of the clutch spring and the 42RE doesn't have much longer
How realistic is it that I'd be able to take that transmission out and put another in at home? Have no special tools.
Is there any chance she'll hold on for another 20k miles?
>implying it wasn't you who bought it >implying that you would be considered a good bf if you DID actually have a gf and you let her buy a heep of shit jeep
Caleb Gutierrez
That's what you get for buying a jeep
Eli Hall
You are a bad boyfriend for letting her buy this car. And if she didn't even ask you before buying it and you're an Veeky Forums browser, you're a failure and a cuck.
Scrap this car.
Jack Nguyen
Fuck these days op. You could probably swap a transmission at home in a full weekend or less. You/gf have to decide if it's worth the trouble or just sell it for 300 and buy another 700 beater

She bought it from her woman 'mechanic' 'best friend' and they both lied their asses off about the Jeep, the price, the transaction, her being a mechanic, and insisted I stay out of it.
Spent $1500 on it and another $2000 on gas. That's 25 cents a mile, not including the $700 she got it for. Shit.
Might as well wait until it loses reverse to scrap it, right?
>handling soldering iron from iron that pic makes me cringe btw listen to the scotty kilmer inside of you that a endless money pit, scrap it and get a better one
Julian Edwards
That must be hot for her fingers.

Just remember with a new (read junkyard) transmission the rest of the Jeep is still going g to be the same. I've seen 300k out of wjs but it'll be a pile by then. Are you footing the bill on this? If your GF is then by all means put a transmission in.
Andrew Lee
Dude my ford focus drinks 0.06€ of diesel per kilometer (should be around 0.096$ per mile) and it's still going down, that jeep isn't just worth it. A new car would be a better investment than replacing the trasmission in a dying one.
Owen Myers
Does it drive now? If so, then it will survive for a while longer yet.
Juan Barnes
fuck these fagits OP. go get a jack, stands and some tools and put in another transmission. tripfag up and shitpost your accomplishments down their throats.

>How realistic is it that I'd be able to take that transmission out and put another in at home? Have no special tools. depends on how determined you are. It shouldn't be to difficult. But the 42re isn't known for being very good.
Evan Wood
in b4 she breaks up with OP for being a "shitty mechanic" maybe you should dump her first though..
Cameron Scott
$2000 on gas? Wat How is that even possible or anything logical to do.
Angel Bennett
U would need a lift for a tranny swap
Scrap it
Landon Adams
what even are jackstands?
Owen Myers
U can't rip a tranny out of a car while it's 2 feet off the ground
Jace Sanchez
ive done it br/o/ its ok
William Hernandez
That tranny must've been hella small or you were doing it on a 45° hill

Can't I just put the Jeep on ramps like I always do. There's 1.5 ft of clearance under the thing at all times and the ramps make it 3 ft.
15 mpg average
They don't talk anymore. Almost had a threesome going but then the Jeep happened. And, yeah, she's definitely not a mechanic, but I find either a wrong bolt or a missing bolt almost everywhere on the Jeep.
Hell, the fucking dipstick was jammed in the tube with the plastic handle causing a clog that took 2 hours to break through even after I remove the dipstick tube.
Nah she just got a 2005 Malibu from her Dad just recently and that bitch had no oil in it, massive oil leaks, metal scraping the road, another few months of work. Then she gets mad when I call it a piece of shit and her Dad irresponsible for running it with almost no oil.
She likes me for my soda can chode, being able to fix things is just bartering so she buys/cooks me food. Not a cuck, just bad luck.
Elijah Long
Is that her in the pic?
Carson Clark
Nah, just posting ass as is common on Veeky Forums.
Jace Jackson
Jesus Christ that photo
Josiah Reyes
Bruh there is so much more wrong with that image when you start really looking at it, even the fact she's in a fucking biochem lab.
Lucas Brown
Are you retarded? I've only ever taken transmissions out with jack stands. Why do you think they sell small transmission jacks?
