45RFE trans

The 45RFE isn't really based off of a fwd transaxle. The 42RLE (Jeep Liberty and some Dodge trucks '03 and up I believe)is however, based off of the front drive 604 transaxle.

These newer transmissions and transaxles are electronically shifted, and
electronically governed (something we are not used with our old-school 727/904). So you'll want to plug in your scanner, check for codes and view some data stream before tearing down the unit.

Just my 2 cents .. great info on this thread guys.

Jeff call me anytime if you need help on that '99 WJ, brother. That's all I used to work on at the Jeep dealer. :toothy10:
