47RE Banner Rebuild Kit 2002, new and ready to install. Fits the 47RE. Ships fast from the USA.
If your 1998-2002 Ram 2500 or 3500 with the 5.9L Cummins or 8.0L V10 has started flaring into overdrive when it is loaded, slipping on the 2-3 shift once it is hot, or leaking from every seal it owns, the clutch packs and seals inside the 47RE are usually worn out together. This banner kit is the soft-parts order for that rebuild: the KP22950NV overhaul gasket and seal set bundled with a full set of friction plates. Our listing title says 2002, but the kit is catalogued for the whole 1998-2002 span of the A518/A618 family, which includes the 47RE and 47RH.
The 47RE is the heavy-duty version of Chrysler's four-speed rear-drive automatic: a three-speed main box with a bolt-on overdrive unit behind it. Gears are held by the front, rear, overdrive and direct clutches plus the kickdown and low-reverse bands. What separates it from the 46RE is clutch capacity built for diesel torque; the factory service manual lists four front clutch discs, five overdrive discs and ten direct clutch discs in the 47RE. Every one of those packs is applied by a rubber-sealed piston, and fluid reaches them through sealing rings on spinning shafts. Towing heat glazes the frictions and hardens the seals at the same time, so the cure is to renew both. A banner kit does exactly that without paying for steels and bands you may not need.
A 47RE that will not upshift or starts in third is often an electrical or governor pressure problem, not burnt clutches, so scan it and compare desired versus actual governor pressure first. Line pressure that drops because of a worn valve body bore can also feel like a slipping pack; Sonnax's vacuum test guide lists the wear points on the RE valve body and the symptom each one causes. Our 47RE Cummins shift problems guide walks through those checks, and the 47RE common problems guide covers cooler restriction, which overheats the overdrive and is worth fixing at the same time.
This kit is listed for 1998-2002 Jeep, Dodge and Chrysler A518, A618, 46RE, 46RH, 47RE and 47RH applications. On the 47RE side that means 1998-2002 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with the 5.9L Cummins or 8.0L V10. Because one part number covers both the 46RE and the heavier 47RE, count the frictions in each drum at teardown and lay them beside the kit before assembly; the 47RE direct and overdrive packs carry more discs than a 46RE. Cross-reference numbers are 49580C and 028806 if your shop matches by those. Not sure what you have? Send us the year and VIN and we will check it. More parts are on the 47RE collection page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It is catalogued for 1998-2002 A518/A618 family transmissions, which includes the 47RE in the 2001 Ram 2500 and 3500 with the 5.9L Cummins. Count your frictions at teardown and compare them with the kit, and send us the year and VIN if you want us to check it first.
No. This kit is the overhaul gasket and seal set plus friction plates. Steels, bands and the filter are bought separately. Reuse steels only if they are flat, the correct thickness and show no blue heat marks.
A master kit adds steels and usually bands and a filter. A banner kit is the middle step: everything that seals plus new frictions, which is what most worn 47RE units need if the hard parts check out.
Mopar ATF+4. Soak the new frictions in it before assembly and set the final level with the transmission hot in Neutral.
Probably not by itself. A 47RE stuck in first or starting in third is usually a governor pressure sensor, solenoid or wiring fault. Scan it and check governor pressure before you pull the transmission for a rebuild.
