About the 545RFE
The 545RFE is Chrysler’s electronically controlled five-speed automatic, used behind V8 engines in Ram 1500, Dakota and Durango models and in Jeep Grand Cherokee and Commander applications. Besides its five forward gears it can use an alternate second gear for smoother kickdown shifts, which is why it is sometimes described as having six forward ratios.
