45rfe Transmission

by



Transmission functions and is located in the engine compartment, as shown in Figure 5. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) does not control the transmission, other than models that have the NGC, as the Transmission control is combined with the PCM. The electronic components of the 45/545RFE transmission consist of. This transmission was used in Dakota, Durango, and Ram 1500/2500 applications with 4.7L and 5.7L engines. It was also used behind the 3.7L engine in 2003-07 Ram 1500's. This transmission is known as a 45RFE when it's a 4spd and a 5-45RFE when it's a 5spd. Same transmission, just different use of gears.

Chrysler produces a number of automobiletransmissions in-house.

45RFE 5-45RFE 00-12 4X4 TRANSMISSION 4.7L 5.7L quantity. Core Charge: $250.00. Regular Price: $1499 Before any upgrades, addons, and/or core charges. Whether you need 45RFE wiring diagram information, 45RFE transmission rebuilders tips, 45RFE technical information, 45RFE diagnostics, 45RFE troubleshooting help, or just answers to your 45RFE transmission rebuilders question, the Transmission Rebuilders Network is the place to go! The 45RFE transmission is a five speed automatic transmission however when you drive the vehicle you will actually have 4 gears and lock up. The '5th gear' is only a different ratio achieved during a kick down shift to 2nd gear which is called 2nd prime.

Dodge 45rfe Transmission

Cause: May be the sump filter is cracked on the seam or the neck seal is loose or missing. allot of filters are splitting down the side of the seams. may or may not have trouble codes P0868, main pressure. P0868, loss of prime, P0731 ratio in 1st. P0736 ratio in rev. and other codes. may be only cold first time engagement issues, depends on severity of crack and seal issues etc. If filter was just changed check the seal and possibly new filter is cracked as well. (check your cooler spin on filter if you have the split sump filter if pt # 4799662AB this can be why your sump filter is split, During converter drain back you can get air in the system and when engine is restarted this filter has check valve issue that allows air to blow open the sump filter, replace spin on filter) Another possibility is the cooler filter (screw on cartridge type in pan) has the holes restricted by the seal. use Chrysler filter 04799662AC is best bet. check holes are not restricted if using aftermarket filters.
