68RFE Banner Rebuild Kit 2007-2018, new and ready to install. Fits the 68RFE. Ships fast from the USA.
A 68RFE that tows a fifth-wheel or carries a tuned 6.7L Cummins eventually wears out its clutches, and the complaint is almost always the same: a flare or slip in the upper gears, a truck that drops into limp mode on a long grade, or fluid that comes out of the pan dark and burnt. This new 68RFE banner rebuild kit covers the 2007-2018 Ram 2500 and 3500 with the 6.7L Cummins, which is the entire first generation of the transmission before Chrysler redesigned it for 2019.
The banner kit supplies the soft parts a rebuilder replaces on every overhaul: the gasket and seal set, piston seals and sealing rings, a new set of friction plates and a filter. On the 68RFE the friction side gets the hardest use at the overdrive clutch. Sonnax points out that the OE overdrive surfaces are the weak link once a truck runs near its gross weight rating or with power modifications, and that rebuilt units can squawk if the overdrive pack is not set up correctly. New frictions and fresh piston seals restore holding capacity, but only if the hydraulic side feeding them is healthy.
Sonnax's RFE overdrive clutch troubleshooting article lists three areas to check, starting with the solenoid switch valve bore plug, which strokes on nearly every shift and is the heaviest wear point in the valve body. Vacuum testing that bore tells you whether worn hydraulics are bleeding off overdrive apply pressure. Pump wear produces the same low-pressure slip, so read our 68RFE pump failure guide alongside the Ram 3500 shift problems guide before committing to clutches alone.
This listing spans the 2007 through 2018 68RFE in the Ram 2500 and 3500 with the 6.7L Cummins. Inside that window there are real differences. Sonnax documents that early units used a white-connector solenoid pack with six solenoids, while 2010-2018 units use a gray connector after Chrysler removed one solenoid and two checkballs. For 2019 the connector turned blue and the pack, valve body and pump changed together, which is why this kit stops at 2018. The soft parts in a banner kit are largely common to the 2007-2018 range, but match your pan gasket and solenoid pack gasket to your unit, and check the photo against your original parts. If you are unsure, send us your year and VIN. More parts are on the 68RFE collection page.

No. Chrysler redesigned the 68RFE for 2019 with a new solenoid pack, valve body and pump. This kit is listed for 2007-2018 units.
A banner kit covers seals, gaskets, frictions and a filter. If the teardown turns up worn bushings, scored drums or damaged hard parts, a master kit or individual hard parts are needed as well.
The usual cause is lost overdrive apply pressure from worn solenoid switch valve bores, valve body erosion or pump wear, combined with heat from towing or added power. Fix those along with the clutches.
Mopar ATF+4. Chrysler specifies the fluid be at least 160 degrees F before setting the level on this transmission family.
Look at the solenoid pack connector. White connectors are on early units, gray on 2010-2018, and blue on 2019 and later.
