65RFE Sun Shell 2007, used and ready to install. Fits the 65RFE. Ships fast from the USA.
The catalog name here says sun shell, but the part pictured is a complete RFE front pump assembly with its stator support shaft, listed for 65RFE and 66RFE transmissions from 2007 on. Buyers usually land here with a Ram, Durango or Jeep that waits a few seconds before it grabs Drive or Reverse, has to be revved to creep once it is warm, whines in step with engine speed, or keeps setting a low line pressure code. This pump was taken apart, cleaned and checked, and any bushing or part found out of spec was replaced. It ships without a front seal, so plan to install a new one.
The pump sits directly behind the torque converter and is driven by the converter hub, so it turns any time the engine runs. Its gears draw fluid up from the pan through the filter and build the main line pressure that applies every clutch pack. On the RFE family the pump is also a valve body of its own. Sonnax notes that it houses the pressure regulator valve and the TC limit valve, along with the converter clutch regulator and switch valves. That is why one worn pump can cause both slipping and converter clutch complaints at the same time.
Check fluid level and condition first, then graph commanded and actual line pressure on a scan tool. A pump problem typically shows actual pressure lagging commanded at idle and worse when hot. Our 66RFE delayed engagement guide lays out that test sequence, and the RFE pump failure guide explains how to tell a pump problem from a filter, solenoid or converter fault.
This unit is listed as a 65RFE/66RFE pump for 2007 and later, and also for 45RFE and 545RFE transmissions built from 2007 on. Sonnax catalogs a single pump assembly without a front seal that covers the 545RFE, 65RFE and 66RFE, and notes casting and lube circuit changes covered in an ATSG bulletin, so early and late pumps are not identical. Two naming points matter here. A 2007 vehicle with this gearbox left the factory tagged 545RFE, since the 65RFE name arrived in 2012, and the 66RFE is the gas heavy-duty six-speed behind the 5.7L and 6.4L Hemi. This pump is not for the diesel 68RFE, which uses its own pump gear design. Compare the casting, stator shaft and bolt pattern with your old pump, or send us your year and VIN. Browse matching parts on the 545RFE parts page or the 66RFE parts page.
If the bushing in your old pump spun or the gears are scored, also check the solenoid block and valve body for debris. The 65RFE solenoid kit is a common add-on when the pressure codes started before the pump was diagnosed.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. The catalog name is wrong. It is a complete RFE front pump assembly listed for 65RFE and 66RFE transmissions from 2007 on.
No. The pump ships without a front seal. Install a new seal, plus the pump seals and gasket the service manual lists, before installation.
It is listed for 2007-up 45RFE and 545RFE units as well. Pump castings changed over the years, so compare your old pump with the photo or send us your VIN.
No. The diesel 68RFE uses a different pump gear design. Shop our 68RFE pumps instead.
Delayed engagement that worsens hot, a whine that follows engine speed, slipping under load and low line pressure codes such as P0868.
ATF+4. Check the level with the fluid hot and the engine running in Park.
