Transgo part # 545RFEPSK is the do-it-yourself kit. 45RFEHD2 is the kit designed for a transmission shop to install, it doesn't have all of the gaskets since a good shop will have them. Either kit will work in the '05 and up auto trans.
Transgo also recommends reusing the factory trans fluid or replacing with factory trans fluid rather than switching to synthetic.
The kits will firm-up the shifts without touching the PCM or any electronic controls.
I might be blind or something, but what comes with the kit? And, will it work with the AWD?

All I've seen in this advertisement is the tranny. I also don't see the price on it.

Summitracing.com has the Transgo kit but it doesn't say which one it is. Summit's part number is TRG-45RFE and it's $81.39.
The tech support guy at Transgo said the same kit works for 1999-2004 multi-speed autos and 2005-up 5-speed autos. He didn't know why the company recomends staying with Chrysler tranny fluid.
