Cool new product from Advance for the 42RLE
http://www.advanceadapters.com/rubicrawler/ Think of a Klune that retains the original length of everything by just replacing the 42RLE automatic transmission's tail cone housing. Approx. cost is probably going to be somewhere close to maybe $1500 to $1800-$1900 with an electric shifter they're thinking of making available. Anyway, it looks like a very cool product for you 42RLE owners!

2.72 x 2.72 = 7.40:1 total reduction. How do you use that with an auto transmission?

With no problems whatsoever, I assume, if you want to go slow. But if you want to use momentum, then, I guess, you lock the extra gear set out. Does the new thing have a pass-through mode?

I also asked the AA guy about making this for other auto trannies like the 32RH or AW4 and he said it'd be tough if not imposible. He said the reason is that the 42RLE has a 2-piece output shaft which allows the Rubi Crawler's reduction gearing to mate up easily, while the 32RH and AW4 have a 1-piece shaft that wouldn't work for it. |

I saw that on another froum. I'll get that instead of a 4-1. It makes you have a 4 speed tcase. It should also be a lot cheaper than an atlas tcase.

A little less but not that much. The AA rep said he guessed it'd come in around $1500 and maybe $1900 if they can get it priced right with the electric shifter.

If it is that much then they won't sell much. An atlas or Rubicon tcase costs $2000-2400, depending on where you get it.

I agree, though the AA rep that gave me that pricing was only responding to my "what's your best guess at pricing" question since its price hasn't yet been officially announced.

You may not even have to mess with driveshafts, which would really make it a more viable cost effective swap.
