Transmission general data

The 3-speed automatic transmission A999 (also referred 32 RH) was produced by Chrysler. This transmission is very similar to the A904 transmission. It is equipped with 5 direct friction discs. Both automatic transmissions A999 as well as A904 have lower 1-st and 2-nd gear ratios, which help low-capacity engines to ensure better acceleration without any losses to highway fuel efficiency.

The A999 transmission is commonly applied in XJ or YJ models with the engine capacity of 4 liters. The main difference between A999 and A904 consists in the rear band, which holds the planetary gear carrier: the band used in the 32RH transmission is more efficient. This gearbox is considered to be quite reliable, so it commonly outlives other stock components.
