I've never seen such a thorough, easy to understand and SEE video. Wow. New subscriber and fan.

Any tips for making sure the oring seats correctly?

worth watching, thank you for showing the disconnect ~ without that one little piece of info and instruction I would've done damage trying to get it apart

Hello, I was wondering if you have a video where you do a refurbish service to the solenoid pack (using the seals kit available on ebay as an instance) instead of replacing the pack

Grate video man it help me out a lot

Do you know what tools are required to rebuild the 545rfe?

You can drop the metal backing part, because it will likely land in the bottom of the sump, however the Oring could be a problem floating around.

Thanks for the video and the reality check. 👍

You get a like and a comment for showing that stupid plug. Lol. I've been going nuts under my truck trying not to break it and that's what brought me here.

There’s gotta be a better way man, don’t know how but this can’t be how its done but I guess she works

I have a question man if you’re still active on here. I just did my fluid and filter changes, but put my magnet in the middle of the pan instead of the corner. Is that ok?

Will a 545rfe and 65RFE swap and work?

5:00 mark is golden! Note, push tab TOWARDS transmission. I used a large flat head. I can't seem to fully rotate the white cam lever, hoping tomorrow when I unscrew the valve body it gives me wiggle room

Was yours making noise before you replaced it !? That is what mine is doing now or did yours completely stop working all together!?

Doesn’t seem that hard, I wish I had a better obd scanner to see the torque converter rpm’s because I’m just about to dive in and try this on mine. Let’s say I’m driving at 15mph(which is all my truck can do right now) and I hit a small incline, my rpm’s don’t change, I might slow down a little but my rpm’s remain the same which makes me think the clutch is still good. Went to a mechanic last week and tried talking to him. His response: “no you’re wasting your time and money you need a new transmission” which is 4k….

Nice to finally see a clutch fan on a 4.7L. I ordered the setup to add to my 07 WK and hoping the plastic fan fits. Same fan I used in my WJ and it works very well, even traveling through the desert. I don't see any issue with tapping the old fan clutch off with a chisel, you are replacing it anyway. Installing it with a chisel isn't necessary. the water pump shaft travels in one direction and doesn't allow the nut to back out. I've never tightened the nut after install, hand tighten and let the water pump tighten it back down. Thanks for the video, confirms I can actually fit this setup.

I'll bet the new fan clutch bearing will wear out soon because of the fan being out of balance from you dropping it on the floor.

That hammering procedure will damage the pump shaft bearing, you better get the right tool my friend. Thanks for sharing.

Title? Where did you replace the solenoid pack in this video? Only saw you take out valve body!

Parts links?

Got a question for you what’s the cost of a selenood pack and what is the purpose of you change the pack?

Watched the video. Thought it was great and a lot of help in dealing with this type of transmission problem. One question that I had was If you had the part number for the reusable pan gasket or where to purchase it? Thanks again for the great video. James.

I’m having really big problems getting my dip stick back into the circle part any suggestions, I have a new o-ring and a new dipstick

Awesome buddy. Great camera work. I am replacing the valve body on my 45rfe. Just showing how that plug unclips helps so much.

Oh I had another question must you reset the computer cause replacing the shift solenoid on my 07 jeep commander 4.7L?

Hi there I just Express my thanks i just competed the job. If it wouldn’t have been your video I’m sure I would paid a boat load of money. It was easy but the shift solenoid harness was a Challenge. Thanks again. 👍

Do you have to disconnect the negative battery terminal first?

I got a 2003 Dodge Durango what it does you can crank it up and it going all the gears but soon as it warms up and when you shut it off and try to crank it back up it's going in reverse and it won't let it crank what will be causing that I have been beaten my head beating my head out I don't know what's causing that but you let it sit and cool it'll crank right back up

I got a 2003 Dodge Durango I have transmission problems what it does it cranks up good when it's cold but when you start driving it come home and put it in park and shut the key off then you got to go somewhere again while it's warm you turn the key won't crank it's going into reverse light but you let it cool down it'll go back in the park will it be causing that

Literally watched this just to see how to drain the pan and you skipped to when it’s already off

How did you find out the trans temperature sensor was out did the light just came on periodically I just replaced solenoid pack and now my trans temperature light is coming on

Next time go to Auto Zone and rent the CTA Clutch Wrench for $16.00. You will get your Money back when you return it.
