Two things happens to the 45RFE and the 545RFE transmission, one is the filters. If the filters have been replaced and you don't have any gears. Then the main filter neck is not sealed correct. The other problem is the front pump and torque converter. A linkage problem will still allow you to go into gear. It maybe the wrong gear. If you guys have a problem with your transmission, let me know. Mark is right, I am a dodge transmission tech.

so they cracked the block... they should be responsible to a point, if they missed a bell housing bolt and pryed the trans apart they should be fixing it for you. hard to say what goes on sometimes. sorry bout your luck and hopfully it all works out.

The trans filters were never touched as I only took it in for an oil change.

If a bell housing bolt is missed and you were to start dropping the transsmission would it we enough of a stress on the transmission flange to break? This what happened. The upper right bolt location is busted clear off for two bolt holes.
