I'm debating buy a 2009 Chrysler Aspen with the 5.7 Hemi and 545RFE transmission. It currently has just the P0733 code for incorrect gear ratio in 3rd gear.
The symptoms are it shifts 1-2 fine at all pedal input levels (gentle acceleration and hammer down) and I cannot detect any slippage, but when it's time to shift 2-3 it won't happen. RPMs continue to climb in 2nd and then I can feel slippage and the vehicle coasts and slows down. Same issue if I manually shift from 1 to 2 to Drive. Reverse works 100%. Fluid does not smell burnt, and it's not overly dark. No fluid/filter service history so I'm assuming that it hasn't been regularly serviced.
No other codes which I find odd, and scan tool data says requested and actual line pressures are around 130psi which is in spec.
Has anyone gone down this road with a Chrysler transmission that could point me in the right direction? The vehicle is in good shape for WI and the mileage is low for the year, plus it's got a Hemi. They just want it out of their yard and I can get it for basically scrap yard value.
