How many quarts of transmission fluid do I need for a 45RFE? Just taking off the pan and replacing the filters. Chart says 14 quarts but that would be a total flush and fill. At $7.00 a quart don't want to buy all that.

 

Buy 8 to be safe. Return what you don't use. Put it 5 and check it after.


Walmart sells ATF+4 at 4.27qt. That is what I used. No problems.

 

Still a lot of fluid. Must be a big a** transmission. Sometimes you can buy it in gallon jugs from Walmart.

 

now iam going to say something that you not agree with. do NOT flame me. i know this works DO NOT FLAME. i know you will but dont!! i run half the fluid volume as rear end grease. been doing it for a LONG time. the trany shifts better, seem top last for ever. NEW subject:
man o man i about forgot yes its a cut & past sorry. __________________
after you clean the trans. add this to your*chrysler*trans. an external fluid filter
1. go to auto-zone. get 2210, its called a power steering filter, but it is for transs to. it is for 3/8 tubing. by (magna-fine) be sure to use high pressure hose. Reff:http://www.magnafilter.com.au/magna-fine.html*
2. for other sizes wix 58964 5/16 tube size reff:http://www.wixfilters.com/filterlook...sionfilter.asp
3. i think most if not all chrtysler trans use a 3/8 coolant tubing.
4.i have had a magnafilter on mine for a year, works good.
5. should cut down on how much you have to change the inside filter.

 

How was it to install?
