TRNW-2: ZF8HP45 (850RE & 845RE) P0733

[Healy Powertrain]

Use the tiny bolts from Transtec. You have to drill and tap the holes yourself. For that complete disassembly of the Planet is necessary. Its got a snapring and caged! needle bearings to make it "easy"...😀

We haven't seen but a few with gear ratio or other internal problems. The vb/tcms have been on intergalactic backorder everytime I check. Used units seem to cheap & plentiful. <https://youtu.be/_npBS3W3dgI>

Many times it is intermittent and works perfect on a test short drive but the P0733 comes back quite often. We have put in about 5-6 used and rebuilt transmission, but have not rebuilt any for this common concern. We did buy a NEW 850RE valvebody and put on one that had 60,000 miles and it did NOT correct the problem. It also seems like the 2016-2017 are the most common years to see the code. As for driving it here is what's weird, is the transmission has a bad shift from 3rd to 4th cold. It flares. Reman units from Chrysler are around 2,900, so they are almost not worth rebuilding, however now they are on backorder. I find it odd too that Jasper, Certified, and ETE have them listed as not available. So what are you guys doing, and what is the cause of the P0733.
