46RE Banner Rebuild Kit 2002, new and ready to install. Fits the 46RE. Ships fast from the USA.
A banner kit is the classic transmission shop order for a soft-parts rebuild: the overhaul kit (gaskets, seals, O-rings and sealing rings) bundled with a full set of clutch frictions. This one is listed under overhaul kit number KP22950NV for the Chrysler A518/A618 family, which Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler badged as the 46RH, 46RE, 47RH and 47RE, in 1998-2002 vehicles. Although our listing title says 2002, the kit covers the full 1998-2002 run. It is for the truck that slips or flares on the upshifts, engages late into gear, leaks from the pump and pan, or came in with burnt fluid and lining material in the pan.
The 46RE holds its gears with four multi-disc clutches and two bands. Every clutch piston is sealed by rubber lip seals, and the oil that feeds them crosses rotating parts through sealing rings. Over time the frictions glaze and lose their grip, the seals harden and the rings wear, so apply pressure bleeds off and the clutches slip. The banner kit replaces both sides of that problem: new friction plates so the packs grip again, and the full set of gaskets and seals so the hydraulic circuits hold pressure. Unlike a master kit, a banner kit is not listed with steel plates or a filter, so plan to reuse flat, unblued steels or buy them separately, and fit a new filter at assembly.
Many 46RE shift complaints start in the valve body, not the clutch packs. ATRA notes that the RE hard parts stand up to a lot of abuse and that the valve body is the common area of concern, and a worn bore can feel like a slipping clutch. Sonnax's vacuum test procedure lets a rebuilder check each critical bore on the bench. Before pulling the unit, check fluid level and condition, scan for codes and read line pressure. Our 46RE valve body testing guide covers how to tell a valve body problem from worn clutches, and the 46RE rebuild cost guide shows what a teardown usually adds beyond the kit.
Listed for 1998-2002 Jeep, Dodge and Chrysler applications of the A518, 46RH, 46RE, A618, 47RE and 47RH. In those years that means Ram pickups with the 5.2L and 5.9L gas V8s and the 5.9L Cummins, plus Dakota, Durango and Grand Cherokee V8 models. The 47RE uses some different clutch counts than the 46RE, so count your plates at teardown and compare them with the kit before assembly. The kit cross-references to interchange numbers 49580C and 028806 if you are matching a shop parts list. If you are unsure of fitment, send us the year and VIN.

A banner kit is the overhaul kit (gaskets, seals, O-rings, sealing rings) plus the friction plates. A master kit usually adds steel plates and a filter. This kit is not listed with steels or a filter, so plan for those separately.
The kit is listed for both the 46RE and the 47RE. The 47RE uses some different clutch counts, so count your old plates at teardown and match them against the kit before assembly.
Mopar ATF+4 only. Set the final level with the fluid hot and the selector in Neutral.
A new filter, any steels that are blued or warped, cracked or worn hard parts found at teardown, the band strut if it is worn, and the cooler and lines should be flushed. A worn pump should be replaced or remanufactured.
