I drive a Dodge now so obviously I need a good, honest tranny shop on speed dial, any recommendations?

Depends on what you need Vince but the guy that rebuilt my tranny came highly recommended by many gearheads. He is in Balzac and works from home.

I'm having computer control issues with mine Tom, it goes into limp mode and stays in 4th gear. I did some research and apparently its not a matter of if it happens to these 545RFE tranny's, its when. The general consensus is its one of three things, the PCM, bad electrical connection or the shift solenoid located inside the tranny. I need somebody that can properly diagnose it.  If its the shift solenoid, its not that big of a deal to replace since tranny removal is not required.

Tranny Shop?

3rd Ave? The Back Lot? Detours? Twisted Element?

I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...
