- Here is another teardown inspection video of a transmission.
45RFE Transmission of a Dodge Truck.
Her we go into detail on the basic parts and function of this transmission.
You are probably one of the smoothest trans techs I've seen. Great explanations too. God has given you a gift.

That was a great narrative as you completed the tear down. That’s what I have in my 2006 Wheelchair Accessible Megacab, there is NO WAY i would attempt to do that!!! You’ve got Mad Skills Amigo. 👍👍👍

i know nothing about cars, I'm watching this because my cat googled "45rfe" when walking across my keyboard and this came up. you are very knowledgable and i respect your work thank you for taking the time to post such quality content.
it's interesting huh? lol
Thats a good kitty
Well done!
Your cat is probably secret genius lol 😆
Wha? No..way...You gotta be kitten me 🐱
Such a great job, you do sir. Thank you for empowering DIYers, and saving the little guy money. I will be saving me over $1200 on a transmission rebuild, because of these vids I was able to determine this is something I can definitely do.
Great video. I used to teach a transmission class in college. I wouldn't hesitate to use your video in my class.
You've got me believing I can do this myself.
found you some years ago i was impressed, found you again today still impressed thank you sir.
BY FAR, the best instructional vid I have seen on UA-cam. Outstanding.
Mr. Hirtam Giutrerrez, SIR. YOU still have an AUDIENCE LEARNING FROM YOU, after 7 years, SIR. My friend has a 2002 Dodge Dakota Sport 4 by 4 with this same transmission. With the knowledge you instilled in me from your VIDEO CLASSROOM, and my own mechanical inclinations taught to me by my father, I just recently replaced the shift solenoid in his transmission and now the first gear clutch plates are slipping due to his off-road Adventures LOL. With your GENEROUS HELPING OF KNOWLEDGE 🥰,
I have no doubt in my mind that I will be able to replace these wear parts by following your tear down and parts inspection procedure. It is with great pleasure that I commend you for your sharing of your knowledge. 😇 GOD BLESS YOU 😇
MUCHOS GRACIOUS SENOR
Hey Hiram, we just took down my spare 45RFE for 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, used your great video to both take apart, and rebuild. We finished the drive train yesterday, will do the VB and pump as soon as we get a few parts, thanks so much, man. Great video !
U got magic hands with tools and years of skills, respect that man
Thanks for the free education .. if the new valvebody don’t fix my womans durango im gonna rebuild the transmission … your video really helps !!!!😊
I think he's done this before. I love watching people who are good at what they do. Good job!
Can definitely tell this isn't your first rodeo.
I'm getting ready to replace the valve body with solenoid pack and both filters, in the next two weeks, in my 2004 Dakota.
Reason is due to intermittent delayed and hard shifting, both up and down.
I found it a quart low and added SeaFoam to clean and condition it. That has helped, but at 100k miles, I don't mind spending under $400 to replace them myself, with my 18 year old grandson. Good project.
Since researching this, I've learned a lot about the 545rfe transmission, but knew nothing about the gear and pump side.
You made it look so simple to tear down. I don't think I would go that far myself, but if I did, it would be from watching you work.
Not many people have the knowledge and ability to do what your doing and on top of that to do a video and teach others is amazing. I'll look for more of your work in the future.
Did you rebuild it successfully
@@jpn234 I replaced it, but still has issues. I ended up biting the bullet and took it to a transmission shop.
They went through it and said the problem was the computer.
They wouldn't do the computer because of past issues they've had when they did.
I called a computer refurbishing company, gave them my vin number and they programmed a rebuilt one.
When it came, all I had to do was unplug the old one and plug in the new one and it worked fine.
They required that I send back the old one as a core to get back the core charge.
So far so good though.
Beyond that my grandson got his license and used it to drive two hours a day to get to school.
Unfortunately, with a brand new license, he had three accidents where he ran into people from behind.
So I had to rebuilt the front end, replacing water pump, thermostat, radiator, AC cooler, bumper, grille. I did most of that three times.
He seems to be driving better now, graduates aircraft mechanic school and is working an hour away at a small plane repair shop.
Are you dealing with transmission issues too?
@@Wakeupandsniffthecoffee I believe so, mines got slightly over 200k miles and the moment I go uphill it starts acting up, rough idle, went to put it reverse and it just stood there revving but not moving
@@Wakeupandsniffthecoffee but was the issue improper rebuild it not programming the computer? I know whenever you disconnect the transmission you have to reprogram the entire control module
just found this channel. best teardown ive seen of a 45RFE.
Kudos to the technician, very thorough and explains very well 🍻
Can we get a video rebuilding the 45rfe completely
hey eric I was thinking the same thing this guy is an artist with a transmission he makes it a buetiful journey into the gears that make us go and he observes them and has it rebuilt before you can blink
A master of transmissions. Nice info
You Sir are an Artist with Tools.
Wow, It is pleasure to watch a professional
I wished I would have seen this video before I sent my transmission out for a rebuild I do have a little experience but for some odd reason I was a little intimidated but to my surprise it’s really nothing to this other then paying close attention and checking for the unusual thing that don’t look right thumbs up for you 🤙your the MAN!!!!!!!
Great video! It's like watching a great chef in the kitchen.
Superb video. You have a real gift. Your videos prompted me to install remote transmission filters and change the fluid often.
Mr. Hiram...Thank you for the Awesome instructional tear down. I need to rebuild my transmission in my 06 Ram 1500. Your video will make a great reference tool. Thank you for the knowledge, you are Awesome!!
One of the best transmission vids I seen yet!
Must be nice not having the shop owner screaming at you to hurry the hell up. The reason I quit as a builder.
You Sr., are the man. Outstanding. Thank you so much for all you do.
another master builder,good health to you builder,you're very talented
I might need to start paying u for lessons. Your vid helped me with the 4l80e i had done. Here i am having to do a rebuild on a 2012 ram 1500 3.7 and look at here
A master professional technician indeed. Excellent instructional communication. Vaya con Dios friend.
Awesome video...This guy has confidence in his skills
Thanks from Armenia very very nice!
I bet he could do this work blindfolded! A true professional!
A great teacher!
When I saw your videos when you teardown the volks 09G! I don´t hesitate in following you. Yo got the touch! I have seen others videos and simply you´re great! I will be waiting the moment when you were rebuild the old 4T60-E. Regards from Mexico City!!
Chingon hiram gracias por publicar tus Videos
I love your impact gun, so quiet and smooth....
man your fast... way to go..
Great, how he handles all these part, zack, zack, bearing her, snap ring out, clutch ring here, and so on,....great!!
Great Video. Very clear, concise, detailed, and informative. Thanks!!!
Very detailed video, thanks a bunch for spending the time doing this. Might think about actually trying to do the rebuild on my 545rfe now
BEST video and fast hands ....!!!!great job man !!!!!!
Great great video I learned so much
An amazing use of snap rings. 😆
As usual, awesome explanation, you're great
Incredible video. Thank you!
my brain just melted watching this. I'm too dumb for this shit.
Nice job and very usefull information. Im planning a 545rfe rebuild soon. I know i can take it apart and put it back together..its when somthing is wrong other than worn parts that i dont know how to deal with. Did a c4 years ago, super easy.....didnt work. Trans shop said it was a bad vave body
This is mine! Outstanding!
You should work for a NASCAR pit crew. You are amazing!
Could you imagine how fast he can do this if he wasn't explaining the process along the way? wow
Faster than jimmy johns
transmission ninja.
you do a great job with your videos thank you
Lmao “prefer just to tap the rear” meanwhile beating the shit out of it😂😂
Man, you must have to have Phd in lock rings!!
CHINGON , EL MAESTRO, EXCELLENT CLASS
Love these videos man!! I really wanna buy an old trans and attempt to rebuild it. Maybe I'm crazy, but it really seems interesting to me.
This guy is good
This was great and I really learned a lot. Can you do another video assembling the 545 RFE with the rebuild kit. I presume you have a dyno to check all the pressures and shifting. See that too would be very good. Thank You.
Wow, man you have an incredible ability in tearing apart that transmission. I couldn't keep up with the speed you were going. I likewise have a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 545RFE transmission - and I wonder if you could give me an educated guess. When in overdrive, I occasionally hear something under tension all of a sudden let go. I at first thought it was something swinging and banging against the bottom of the truck. It's random, happens once in a while, under acceleration, then while coasting - and I am pretty sure it's transmission related because when I take the truck out of OD, the noise is gone.
Great Video, now I know why I'm paying $2700.00 for another one.😂
You are to good thank you for your help
Dude is a pro!
Hiram, the way you do seems easy, but....
Thanks!
You are dessembling it like you have create it. lol
thanks you are really genius, wish you was in canada so i can bring mine to you to repair
Unbelievable, all that knowledge, I feel like an ape, is not fair, I wish I could do all these things, of course these guys aren’t born with it, l could watch this video 1000 times, thanks
Maybe my auto mechanic needs to see your video. He rebuilt my transmission then one month later it broke down again! Now he's had my truck for 10 days and still hasnt got it fixed!!
Thanks for share your amazing job, you have tips or tricks to guarantee a long life of a 45rfe in a jeep grand cherokee wj v8 4,7L?
Keep up the good work, I'm French sorry for my bad English
Dam you are good at this. Excellent video....one question how many times have you done this?
hermano sinceramente te felicito por esta tutoria genial es verdaderamente importante para uno que lidea con estos trastes me ha servido un mil tus videos espero ver unos en español o si me puedes dar datos de los que tengas un saludo y verdad de dios eres estupendo en la explicacion
Great Video! I think I have to rebuild mine 5-45rfe soon, when I come to a stop it feels like the trans is not engaging and wants to stall the motor just for a sec then it unlocks and then its ok, it used to do it when it was cold but now I notice its doing it more, plus sometimes when you put it in gear (D) when its cold it feels like its slipping and then it will throw a code but ussaly you restart it and its ok if you feel it slip just a little..
Great video well expand !

Awesome, thank you so much, very helpful!
thanks great job
Wow. Amazing how you pulled that apart as if you personally engineered and built the whole thing yourself. Great job. However you lost me at pulling out valve body. Lol
Thx for another good Vid...
eres el mejor felicidades hiram.
Love the videos... you are a Transmission God... I had to laugh when the credits said "Dr Tranny" ... one might draw a totally different meaning if they didn't know better... lol
Something tells me this guy has done this before...
If I replaced valve body with new solenoid pack on a 545RFE, do I have to reprogram the TCM? What about if I replaced the whole transmission? Your response is very much appreciated.
Hello Hiram...watching you work is amazing. it makes me both want to cry because of how complicated it is but to laugh at how easy you make it seem. ...and I am wondering how long does it take to learn to rebuild automatic transmissions and what would be the best school in your opinion? Thanks a lot for all your videos man!
I wish I had you knowledge for one day
You certainly know your work Mate. Good to see a person with the knowledge as yourself. Came to mind, was your father a butcher.......just joking..as you handle without care. But you know what you're doing.
Good to watch and learn :-)
very good
My 2004 jeep wj can't shifting to 3rd , good reverse, what I needed to fixed it, Thank you
Great Video! This was actually very interesting, very fast, and to the point. You wouldn't happen to be here in California?
I been doing manual transmissions since 1980 and I never thought I'd see a guy like you able to work that fast with a great memory like myself. Absolutely great work. What about torque converters, I have a jeep 2002 Grand Cherokee I just bought and the transmission shifts real smooth and I changed the oil and filters and it looked good. My question why am I getting a torque converter clutch code. What does that mean and why is this transmission working like a new one? Thanks
Did you ever find the problem,I'm also having the same problem with my Jeep do you know where the torque converter solinoide location is?
Wow there is like 100000 parts on that I don't know if i can put something like that back together lol
Great videos.. can you please do a rebuild video on the Front wheel drive manual transmissions on the 80's and 90's turbo Chryslers/Dodges? Like the Getrag A555, A525, etc. Plllleaase
you should make a video cutting open the return cooler filter.. i know you have a video of the inline one, but i would want to see the bigger one open
Wow, great video... I came here (and to many other places) because I have an 07 Dodge Durango 5.7L with 545RFE where it doesn't seem to keep lock-up properly in 50-80mph or so... it keeps lock properly uphill, but on level highway it will go in and out of lock-up or overdrive or something, 100-200 rpm difference... not really fast in and out like it seems you explained it at 28:00 ... did you mean it goes in and out of lock-up rapidly or with a bit more of a delay?
First I thought I should just try to replace the Solenoid pack, but now I watched through this whole vid and it made me now also suspect the spring ...
Excelente vídeo... Pero no me quedo claro cual es el motivo por el cual se recalentaron los Discos...
Hi Hiram,
Brilliant video ! ! ! 39mn to fully dismantle it, what a challenge!
Few questions as I have the same issue on my WJ 04 545rfe - stuck in 3rd gear.
At the end what was the root cause?
You did not talk a lot about the pump pressure regulating valve - not an issue?
Looking forward to your feedback.
All the best
Greg
hiram you ar the best.... el mejor muy buen video grasias amigo
Thanks a lot, your video helpe mee. Mi truk runing again
que onda iram, soy un buen fan de tus videos. me gustaria que hicieras mas en español. un saludo
It is a 45rfe I believe and both my trans hoses started leaking and I replaced them both along with the oil cooler and it is still leaking o ring in the hose is good idk if I mixed up the hose or something else but it is still leaking brand new cooler and hoses
I really appreciate your expertise and quality videos, I have a 02 dodge Dakota 4.7 with 45rfe, that is in failsafe mode, work good if you manual shift it, can you please give me some tips on what to do
Shit my little spring's broke, I was wondering what was doing that. I'm sure there's some other tired pieces in there too. Finding a place you can trust is tough.
Excelente.
***** This is a damn good tutorial and so informative. It's so nice that someone does things like this.
