The documents discuss potential transmission issues with the 45RFE and 55RFE transmissions in Chrysler vehicles and provide troubleshooting steps to address binding during upshifts.

The documents mention that the 45RFE or 55RFE transmission may exhibit a binding condition during the 3-4 or 4-5 upshift.

The documents state that the cause of binding could be a partially disintegrated #2 checkball allowing the underdrive clutch to remain partially or fully applied during the upshift.

COMPLAINT: Chrysler vehicles equipped with the 45RFE or 545RFE may exhibit a binding condition on
the 3-4 or 4-5 upshift.

allowing the underdrive clutch to be partially or fully applied when the 3-4 or 4-5 upshift
occurs causing a bind-up.

CORRECTION: Replace the checkballs with new plastic checkballs available in aftermarket rebuild kits or
from an O.E. supplier. For Valvebody Exploded views refer to Figures 2 and 3.
