This is something that couldn't be done before now. Plus you can upgrade to a deep cast aluminum pan with fins that holds over 3 extra quarts of transmission fluid (#8X, $235.00). The price includes a free PATC T-shirt and we pay the freight up to $110.00. This means the freight runs from free to $140.00 after freight discount in most cases.

The factory transmission controller has always been a problem with this transmission. Combine 30% more clutch apply area with 30 PSI more line pressure and this is winning combination. All of this is going to make this a very strong transmission.
Fits 2000-up Dodge 4.7L V-8 2WD and 4WD and 2003-up Dodge HEMI 5.7L V-8 2WD and 4WD.

Combo Kit Rules: It doesn't get any better than this folks, now you can have your parts and save money too. You may be eligible for other discounts on any parts needed for your rebuild, if you buy them at the same time as the master rebuild Combo Kit. Torque converters can be deducted from any Combo Kit at the price charged in that kit and you'll still receive the same discount rate on that kit. Any other parts for that type transmission can be added to a Combo Kit at the same discount rate for that kit, if not already listed as an add-on / upgrade for that kit.

45RFE - 545RFE - 68RFE Line Pressure Booster
|
#45LPB / #68LPB. This family of transmissions uses a full range line pressure sensor mounted on the outside of the transmission for "closed loop" line pressure control. Due to this system, traditional methods of raising line pressure by changing the PR spring or valves have no effect. This Line Pressure Booster alters the pressure signal sent to the computer causing the computer to raise line pressure. The 68RFE has a 10-15 PSI increase and the 45RFE and 545RFE has a 15-30 PSI increase. Higher line pressure increases clutch holding power and torque capacity. Changes in shift feel will be noticed mostly under aggressive driving or loaded conditions. This part is ideal for heavy duty and modified vehicles and even stock transmissions when a little extra pressure is desired. No other modifications are required. The Line Pressure Booster installs between the pressure sensor and vehicle harness using OEM style sealed connectors. Simply unplug the vehicle harness and reconnect with one of these parts. Cost $49.00 |
Features & Benefits • Increased line pressure • Increased clutch clamping force and torque capacity • Installs on outside of transmission • Easy plug and play installation Note: The higher pressure 45RFE booster cannot be used with the 68RFE.

| To determine your tires true diameter in relation to determining what speedometer gears you need, measure from the ground up to the center of the axle then multiply by two. The actual run out of the tire can be as much as 2 to 3 inches less than what the circumference of the tire measures. In effect your tire has two diameters. | To determine your rear end ratio, raise both tires off of the ground, turn both tires at the same time one complete turn, at the same time count the turns of the drive shaft, this is your ratio. |
The short shaft gears are for an electronic speedometer and the long shaft gears are for a cable driven speedometer. This is true most of the time, not always.

Dodge / Jeep Speedometer Gears Many tire makers build their tires differently, so a 35-inch tire from one company to another may vary as much as a full inch. The short shaft gears are for an electronic speedometer and the long shaft gears are for a cable driven speedometer. This is true most of the time, not always.
