B.S.

The Jeep uses the same transmission that Honda and Toyota use: the Aisan.

The 45RFE was introduced in the Jeep Grand Cherokee in 1999, it is notable for including 3 planetary gearsets rather than the two normally used in a 4-speed automatic. It also features 3 multiple disc input clutches, 3 multiple disc holding clutches, and a dual internal filter system (one primary filter for transmission sump, one for the fluid cooler return system). In the 45RFE applications four gears are utilized, with a different (1.50:1 rather than 1.67:1) second gear to increase versatility when downshifting. In 545RFE usage, an extra taller overdrive ratio is also used. Chrysler decided to refer to it as a "multi-speed automatic".

The 45RFE is produced at the Indiana Transmission plant in Kokomo, Indiana. It is normally paired with the 4.7 L PowerTech V8.

BS. Jeep Cherokees and the Grand Cherokee went through transmissions like most people go through socks. Rubbish.
