47RE Overhaul Kit 1990-2003, new and ready to install. Fits the 47RE. Ships fast from the USA.
This kit is for the owner or shop tearing down a 47RH or 47RE from a 1990s or early-2000s Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500, whether it sits behind the 5.9L Cummins or the 8.0L V10. It is a Transtec overhaul kit listed under K22950R and 22002E for the A518 and A618 family from 1990 through 2003, and the listing describes it as all of the gaskets, seals, lip seals, O-rings, sealing rings, a Farpak pan gasket and a small parts kit. Buy it when a heavy-duty Ram is leaking, engaging late or losing overdrive under load and you are planning a proper reseal, with frictions, steels and bands chosen separately after you measure what came out.
The 47RE splits its work between a three-speed main case and a separate overdrive unit. In the main case, the front and rear clutches plus the kickdown and low-reverse bands handle first through third; behind it, the overdrive clutch and direct clutch handle the step into fourth and the converter lockup that follows. Every one of those apply devices only works if the oil sent to it stays trapped behind a piston. Lip seals do that at each piston, metal and Teflon-style rings do it where oil crosses from a stationary support into a spinning shaft, and gaskets and O-rings close off the case, pump, adapter housing and valve body. A heavy truck that tows cooks those parts: the rubber hardens, the rings wear their grooves, and pressure that should apply a clutch leaks back to the sump instead. Replacing them all together restores the pressure each circuit was designed to hold.
Check fluid level and condition hot in Neutral first; low fluid alone can produce every symptom above. On 1996-up electronic-governor trucks, look at governor pressure desired and actual with a scan tool before blaming seals, as ATRA GEARS lays out. Lockup complaints deserve a cooler flow check too, because restricted coolers are a common cause on this family. Our Ram 3500 Cummins common problems guide and 47RE pump failure guide help separate a leaking seal from a worn pump or a governor fault.
The listing covers the A518 and A618 family from 1990 through 2003: 46RH, 46RE, 47RH and 47RE. For a heavy-duty Ram that means the 47RH with its hydraulic governor in the earlier years and the 47RE with an electronic governor from 1996, through the 2003 model year. The 48RE that followed is not included. Because one kit spans both governor designs, some parts in the bag will not be used on your unit. Match the tag on the left side of the case, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm before shipping. Pumps, valve bodies and governor parts for the same truck are in our 47RE parts collection.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. It is the gasket and seal kit: gaskets, lip seals, O-rings, sealing rings, a Farpak pan gasket and a small parts kit. Frictions, steels, bands, bushings and the filter are separate.
A 1995 heavy-duty Ram uses the 47RH, which is inside this kit's 1990-2003 A518 family range. Send us your year and VIN or the case tag number and we will confirm it.
The 48RE replaced the 47RE behind the Cummins, and this kit does not cover the 48RE. Send us your VIN so we can check which unit your truck has.
Chrysler lists about 29-33 pints of ATF+4 for a 47RE after an overhaul, versus about 8 pints for a pan-drop service. Fill, run it through the gears, and set the level hot in Neutral.
Sometimes. Worn overdrive and converter feed seals can cause it, but so can a restricted cooler or a worn converter. Check cooler flow and governor pressure first so the rebuild targets the right cause.
