47RE Clutch Module 1998, new and ready to install. Fits the 47RE. Ships fast from the USA.
A 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500 puts the 47RE behind either the 5.9L Cummins or the 8.0L V10, and both load the overdrive hard when towing. A truck from that era that now slips out of fourth on a hill, flares between gears with a trailer behind it, or engages Reverse slowly has usually burned its frictions. This listing is a new Raybestos RCP96-113 friction clutch pack, also listed as 22119EA, described for 1998-2007 46RE and 47RE units. Raybestos catalogs it for the A518/46RH, A518ES/46RE, A618/47RH, A618ES/47RE and 48RE and builds it with Hi-Energy direct frictions. Steels, seals and gaskets are sold separately.
Power goes through the main case on two clutches. The rear clutch is applied in every forward gear, including fourth, and the front clutch joins it for third and fourth and also works with the rear band in Reverse. The overdrive unit behind it uses a spring-applied direct clutch to lock the unit 1:1 in the lower gears, then the overdrive clutch applies for fourth. On a 1998 truck the electronic governor controls the 1-2 and 2-3 shift points, and the transmission control logic raises line pressure in fourth for more overdrive clutch capacity. With worn linings, more pressure only delays the slip.
Not every shift complaint on a 1998 is a clutch. Governor pressure faults change the shift points and can hold the truck in a lower gear, and the factory logic holds off overdrive in fluid below 50F and blocks the 3-4 upshift above 250F. Read codes, check the fluid, then road test and match the slipping ranges to the clutch and band chart. Our 47RE Ram 2500 Cummins shift problems guide separates electrical faults from clutch wear, and the pressure control solenoid guide covers the governor side.
The listing is titled for 1998 and the pack is described for 1998-2007 46RE and 47RE units, which covers 1998 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with the 5.9L Cummins or 8.0L V10. A single pack sold for both units has to match the larger 47RE stack, so confirm the counts against the factory figures: 4 front, 5 overdrive and 10 overdrive direct discs for the 47RE. If your old pack differs, or you are not sure whether your truck has the 46RE or 47RE, send us the year, engine and VIN. Every part for this unit is on our 47RE transmission page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It is described for 1998-2007 46RE and 47RE units, which includes 1998 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. Count your old frictions by pack and send us your year, engine and VIN if unsure.
Raybestos's high-energy friction material, which this pack uses for the direct clutch. It is aimed at the heat a towing truck puts into that pack.
No. It is a friction pack only. Replace heat-damaged steels and use a seal kit for the pistons and gaskets.
Possibly, but cold fluid, overheated fluid and governor or overdrive solenoid faults can also block fourth. Read codes and check temperature and pressure first.
ATF+4. Soak the new frictions in it before assembly and check the level hot in Neutral after the rebuild.
