heres the story me and my cousin rebuilt his trans on his 04 ram. at first it was fine, then it woundn't go into 3rd gear. so we dropped it and replaced a bearing that exploded in the input housing. it ran fine for a mounth with no problem. then it had ne gear all of a sudden. took it apart and found the 2-4 clutch housing return spring popped off and broke the snap ring. i bought everything brand new again new clutchs, pistons, seals, steels, also got the transgo hd shift kit. this time i took it to a tranny guy to rebuild it. put in the trans roadtested everything seemed fine. then it wouldn't go into 4th gear, then lost 3rd gear. the truck only has 1st and 2nd gear know. i talked to some trans shops, 1 guy said change the sensors did that and no change. another said change the solenoid pack on the valve body haven't done that yet to much $$$. anybody have a clue on what the hell is wrong with this thing???

 

sorry. For me the 45RFE is a very bad trasmision. I repaired my truck 3 times and have 20.000 miles. the more sheaper you can do is buy new the gearbos for aprox U$3.500.

Please help me telling me where can i have spare parts for this box?

Not tryin to be dumb here, but ive seen the Adapter plates that lets your bolt up a GM 4L60E/4L80E to the Hemi's..... Sure its not cheap, but a shift kit in a 4L80E and you guys would be set!!

 

Where did you see this plate? can't find it
