You are probably one of the smoothest trans techs I've seen. Great explanations too. God has given you a gift.

i know nothing about cars, I'm watching this because my cat googled "45rfe" when walking across my keyboard and this came up. you are very knowledgable and i respect your work thank you for taking the time to post such quality content.

BY FAR, the best instructional vid I have seen on Youtube. Outstanding.

[ralphydominguez]

Such a great job, you do sir. Thank you for empowering DIYers, and saving the little guy money. I will be saving me over $1200 on a transmission rebuild, because of these vids I was able to determine this is something I can definitely do.

Great video.  I used to teach a transmission class in college.  I wouldn't hesitate to use your video in my class.

[WrenchPrince]

U got magic hands with tools and years of skills, respect that man

[markmason]

Can we get a video rebuilding the 45rfe completely

[juggernaut]

You've got me believing I can do this myself.

Hey Hiram, we just took down my spare 45RFE for 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, used your great video to both take apart, and rebuild. We finished the drive train yesterday, will do the VB and pump as soon as we get a few parts, thanks so much, man. Great video !

Mr. Hirtam Giutrerrez, SIR. YOU still have an AUDIENCE LEARNING FROM YOU, after 7 years, SIR. My friend has a 2002 Dodge Dakota Sport 4 by 4 with this same transmission. With the knowledge you instilled in me from your VIDEO CLASSROOM, and my own mechanical inclinations taught to me by my father, I just recently replaced the shift solenoid in his transmission and now the first gear clutch plates are slipping due to his off-road Adventures LOL. With your GENEROUS HELPING OF KNOWLEDGE 🥰,
I have no doubt in my mind that I will be able to replace these wear parts by following your tear down and parts inspection procedure. It is with great pleasure that I commend you for your sharing of your knowledge. 😇 GOD BLESS YOU 😇
MUCHOS GRACIOUS SENOR

Great video!  It's like watching a great chef in the kitchen.

[timnuss]

Wow, It is pleasure to watch a professional

[glennramsey]

Thanks for the free education .. if the new valvebody don’t fix my womans durango im gonna rebuild the transmission … your video really helps !!!!😊

[Wakeupandsniffthecoffee]

Can definitely tell this isn't your first rodeo.
I'm getting ready to replace the valve body with solenoid pack and both filters, in the next two weeks, in my 2004 Dakota.
Reason is due to intermittent delayed and hard shifting, both up and down.
I found it a quart low and added SeaFoam to clean and condition it. That has helped, but at 100k miles, I don't mind spending under $400 to replace them myself, with my 18 year old grandson. Good project.
Since researching this, I've learned a lot about the 545rfe transmission, but knew nothing about the gear and pump side.
You made it look so simple to tear down. I don't think I would go that far myself, but if I did, it would be from watching you work.
Not many people have the knowledge and ability to do what your doing and on top of that to do a video and teach others is amazing. I'll look for more of your work in the future.

[knauregriffiths]

I think he's done this before. I love watching people who are good at what they do. Good job!

[chadrose]

Kudos to the technician, very thorough and explains very well 🍻

[dalemahoney]

Mr. Hiram...Thank you for the Awesome instructional tear down. I need to rebuild my transmission in my 06 Ram 1500. Your video will make a great reference tool. Thank you for the knowledge, you are Awesome!!

[chiefeaglebear]

hey eric I was thinking the same thing this guy is an artist with a transmission he makes it a buetiful journey into the gears that make us go and he observes them and has it rebuilt before you can blink
