Default My 45rfe blew the pump.

Well last week on Wednesday morning heading to work my tranny decides to give me the middle finger and just quits pulling.

So today I get a call from the guy fixing my tranny and find out my it is ****ed. I some how managed to bust the pump. So now I have to have him completely rebuild the damn thing. Originally it was going to cost 1500 but him and my dad worked together years ago and have done quite a bit of business with each other so he is going to help me out and do it for 1200. To me that's a lot of cash but I know that's not a bad price for a rebuild in my area for a dodge tranny. Hopefully he will have it done either the end of this week or sometime at the begin of next week.

Also, has anyone ever busted a pump on a 45rfe? Never heard of that happening but I dont know much about a dodge transmission.

Got my truck back today. And I must say it shifts better than before.

But now I have noticed that I'm going to have to replace the rack and pinion cause it is pure fluid out from the left in tie rod boot.

By pump do you mean Torque Convertor?

I really don't know. The man who rebuilt my tranny just said I busted the valvebody and the pump. He may have meant the converter.
