Description
The 545RFE Transmission is a robust 5-speed automatic transmission developed by Chrysler, known for its durability, smooth shifting, and performance across a variety of vehicles. This transmission is widely used in Jeep, Dodge and Chrysler models, especially trucks and SUVs. Designed to handle higher torque, it features a unique gear-set and dual overdrive gears for improved fuel efficiency and towing capability. This includes advanced electronic controls for precise shift quality and adaptability. The 545rfe transmission offers seamless gear ratios including 1st (3.00:1), 2nd (1.67:1), 2nd Prime (1.50:1), 3rd (1.00:1), 4th (0.75:1), 5th (0.67:1), and reverse (3.00:1). this transmission includes the fluid capacity of 10.5-11 liters and requires DEXRON 3-6 or MOPAR ATF=4 transmission as the fluid.
545RFE fitment requires matching your specific application and model year. The Jeep Grand Cherokee application differs from the Dodge Durango application in transfer case output shaft configuration. The Ram 1500 application uses different torque converter calibration than SUV applications. Our VIN verification process confirms the exact 545RFE for your specific vehicle before it ships.
Chrysler truck and SUV owners comparing a used transmission against a remanufactured transmission or rebuild for the 545RFE find a clear value proposition in the used OEM route. A used Chrysler 545RFE transmission gives you the factory-original OEM transmission assembly — the factory torque converter, the factory shift calibration, the factory five-ratio configuration — at a known price. Unlike a remanufactured transmission rebuilt from a reconditioned core, this used OEM transmission is an original factory unit that restores the factory towing capability and driving character your vehicle was built to deliver.
Every used Chrysler 545RFE transmission ships with up to a 90-day warranty and arrives within 2 to 5 business days. Installation is not included. These are genuine Chrysler OEM units, and we stand behind every one we ship.
