Replaces the worn detent lever, rooster comb and manual shaft seal on Dodge 47RE valve bodies that hang up or stick going into Park.
This is the manual shaft and detent assembly that lives on the driver's side of the 47RE valve body: the manual lever, the detent plate most techs still call the rooster comb, the detent spring and roller, the manual shaft seal, washer, spacer sleeve and the E-clip that holds it all together. It fits the 2002-and-later Chrysler 42RE, 44RE, 46RE, 47RE and 48RE, which covers 2002-2007 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500, 2002-2006 Ram 1500, 2002-2003 Dakota and Ram Van, and 2002-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
The failure this fixes is the one that strands trucks: the park pawl hole in the detent plate wears oval, or a comb tooth breaks off, and the shift linkage no longer indexes. The symptom is a truck that will not come out of Park, a shifter that feels vague between gears, or a gear indicator that reads one range while the transmission is actually in another. On high-mileage Cummins trucks the manual shaft seal usually starts weeping at the same time, so you get a wet spot on the case just above the pan rail.
On the bench: drop the pan, pull the filter, then unhook the park rod from the lever and pull the E-clip off the manual shaft. Slide the old lever and detent plate off, drive the old manual shaft seal out of the case bore, and set the new seal with the spacer sleeve so it seats square. Reassemble the lever, plate and detent spring, snap the new E-clip on, and check that the shaft rolls into each detent with a clean click before the valve body goes back up. Verify the neutral safety switch still lines up and adjust the shift cable at the column before you drop the truck off the rack.
