On 2002 the Jeep Liberty (KJ) has a 45RFE transmission. This is an electronically-controlled transmission with five forward ratios including an alternate second gear ratio for improved performance for passing and better fuel economy. It was designed for Jeeps but was used later in Dodge Trucks; its first use was in the 1999 Grand Cherokee V8. The transmission features a tall, 3.00:1 first gear that gives the driver better initial acceleration. Real-time driver adaptive shifting fine-tunes the shift pattern to the driver, while an alternate second gear ratio gives the driver five forward ratios.

During acceleration, second gear has a ratio of 1.67. Depending on speed and throttle position, both this gear and an alternate 1.50 second gear ratio are available for kick-down operation, making the down-shift smoother. Its reverse gear ratio is equal to the first gear ratio, to allow for heavier loads. Other features include three planetary gear sets that combine the widest range of gear ratios available in any transmission in its class. Combined with precise step selections, this brings smooth shifts and maximum power and optimal fuel economy. Later, the KJ mounts a 42RLE transmission, who was the first electronically shifted hydraulic automatic transmission that used fuzzy logic to learn to adapt its shifting pattern to match the driver's habits and tastes, as well as to compensate for internal conditions.

How do you know what is causing your 1992 Ford Tempo to shift at speeds around 40mph and 60mph?

Check that the TV rod is adjusted properly or is still attached. it is an adjustable rod that connects from the transmission to the throttle linkage and the adjustment controls the shift points and kick down function of the transmission.


Will a bad mass air flow sensor cause the transmission light to come on and the car to rev up but be very slow until up to speed I have a 97 Cadillac Catera?

To answer directly, yes. A bad MAF sensor can affect a computer-controlled transmission if the transmission control computer uses the MAF signal to determine shift points.

What is the difference between a 5 speed manual and a 6 speed automatic?

A manual transmission will require a driver operated clutch pedal to shift gears, and thus allow for shifting on demand as opposed to waiting for a computer to determine shift points. An automatic transmission uses computer algorithms to determine shift points based upon engine load, speed, and overall fuel economy. More driveline drag exists with an automatic transmission because of more moving parts, and thus an automatic will typically have slightly lower fuel economy than a manual transmission equipped vehicle.
