About this product

A 1998-or-later Dodge Ram, Dakota, Durango or Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 46RE that flares on the 2-3 shift, slips in overdrive or smells burnt usually needs new frictions. This listing is a new Raybestos RCP96-113 friction clutch pack module (also listed as 22119EA), described for the 46RE and 47RE from 1998 to 2007. Raybestos lists it for the A518/46RH, A518ES/46RE, A618/47RH, A618ES/47RE and 48RE, and it uses Hi-Energy direct frictions. It is a friction set; steels, seals and gaskets are sold separately.

What the friction pack does in a 46RE

The 46RE puts a three-speed main case ahead of an overdrive unit. In the main case the rear clutch applies in every forward gear and the front clutch joins it for third and fourth, and also applies with the rear band in Reverse. In the overdrive unit a spring-applied direct clutch locks the unit 1:1 in first through third, and the overdrive clutch applies in fourth. On these later trucks the electronic governor and boost valve raise line pressure in the higher gears, but once a lining wears or glazes, more pressure only delays the slip.

Symptoms of worn frictions

How to confirm before you buy

Start with fluid level and condition, then read codes; P1740 and P0740 on these years often trace to pressure problems rather than worn clutches. Road test and use the factory clutch and band chart to find which pack slips. The factory logic locks out overdrive below 50F and forces a 4-3 downshift above 260F, so a truck stuck out of fourth is not always a clutch problem. Our 3-4 clutch failure guide covers the overdrive tests, and the governor pressure solenoid guide covers the electrical side.

Fitment

The listing is titled for 1998 and the pack is described for 1998-2007 46RE and 47RE units. Inside a module the disc counts are fixed, and the two units differ: the Chrysler manual lists 3 front, 4 rear, 4 overdrive and 8 overdrive direct discs for the 46RE, and 4 front, 5 overdrive and 10 direct for the 47RE. A 46RE build may leave spare discs. Lay your old frictions out by pack, compare tooth style and thickness, and if you are unsure, send us the year, engine and VIN. All 46RE parts are on our 46RE transmission page.

46RE Clutch Module 1998: common questions

Does RCP96-113 fit my 46RE?

It is described for 1998-2007 46RE and 47RE units and is also listed for the 48RE. Compare your old frictions by pack and send us your year, engine and VIN if unsure.

Are steels included?

No. This is a friction pack. Reuse steels only if they are flat and free of heat color; otherwise replace them.

My truck will not shift into overdrive. Is it the clutches?

Not always. The factory logic blocks overdrive below 50F and the 3-4 upshift above 250F, and governor pressure faults can do the same. Check codes, temperature and pressure before tearing it down.

What fluid does it use?

ATF+4. Soak the frictions in it before installation and check the level hot in Neutral after the rebuild.

What should I replace with it?

Seals and gaskets, the filter, any damaged steels, and the overdrive direct spring if it has faded. Clean the cooler and lines.
