Love my '02 1500 QC, but i've always noticed a "whiring" sound in the 45RFE transmission when going from park into D or R.My wifes '03 Durango does the same thing?Never any problems, but with 36,000 miles on the horizon i thought i'd drop a line and see if anyone else has experienced this or if it is a sign of trouble. Any input is appreciated!

4.7 w/Tow package (Durango too)

 

Dunno, sounds like it's not a problem if it does it on both cars with under 36000 miles. If no one here can help ask the service tech at your local dealer.

 

Most Dodges make a sound when the tranny is shifted from P to R or D. It sounds like that is what you are discribing. My Stratus did it, my friends mini van and my Ram does it.

 

Its normal...I will try to find you the TSB.

It mainly happens when in reverse.

 

here ya go
