68RFE Banner Rebuild Kit 2007, new and ready to install. Fits the 68RFE. Ships fast from the USA.
If you own one of the first Ram 2500 or 3500 trucks built with the 6.7L Cummins in 2007 and the transmission has started slipping out of overdrive, flaring on the 3-4 or 4-5 shift, or throwing burnt-smelling fluid onto the dipstick, this is the soft-parts kit for the rebuild. This 68RFE banner rebuild kit is new and listed specifically for the 2007 model year, the launch year of the 68RFE. Raybestos describes the 68RFE as Chrysler's first automatic designed specifically for 2500 and 3500 Ram diesel trucks, released in 2007, so a 2007 unit is the original design before any of the running changes that followed.
A banner kit is the middle ground between a gasket set and a full master kit. It pairs the overhaul set of gaskets, lip seals, sealing rings and piston seals with new friction plates and a filter, which covers the parts that wear out or harden on every high-mileage teardown. On the 68RFE that matters most at the overdrive clutch. Sonnax notes the factory overdrive frictions are single-sided on a steel core only .034 in. thick, so they shed heat poorly and distort once they get hot. Every piston seal in this kit is also part of how the unit holds apply pressure, and on a clutch-to-clutch RFE design with no bands, a leaking seal shows up directly as slip.
Burned overdrive clutches are usually the result, not the cause. Sonnax and GEARS Magazine both trace most 68RFE overdrive failures back to the valve body: worn solenoid switch valve plug bores and eroded worm tracks bleed off overdrive apply pressure until the pack slips and burns. Sonnax ties codes such as P0841, P0868, P0871 and P0988 to that switch valve circuit. If you rebuild the clutches and leave a leaking valve body in place, the new frictions burn the same way. Work through our 68RFE valve body testing guide first, and use the 68RFE rebuild guide to decide whether the unit needs only soft parts or a full overhaul.
This kit is listed for 2007 68RFE transmissions, the six-speed behind the 6.7L Cummins in the Ram 2500 and 3500. The 6.7L arrived partway through 2007, so these trucks are often called 2007.5 models. Early units also differ from later ones in the hydraulics: Sonnax documents that 2007-2009 RFE solenoid packs used a white connector and six solenoids, and that Chrysler dropped one solenoid and two checkballs for 2010 when the connector went gray. That is why a 2007 kit and a later kit are not always interchangeable on the valve body side. Before ordering, check the pan shape, the solenoid pack connector color and your build date, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm it.

If the teardown shows damaged drums, hubs or bushings beyond what a banner kit covers, step up to the 68RFE master rebuild kit.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It is listed for the 2007 68RFE, which is the automatic used behind the 6.7L Cummins in 2007 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. Because the 6.7L launched mid-year, confirm your truck has the 68RFE and not the earlier 48RE with the 5.9L. Send your VIN if you are unsure.
A banner kit is built around the overhaul gaskets and seals, new frictions and a filter. Check the product photo for exactly what is in this kit, and plan to replace any steel plates that are blued or warped during your teardown.
On the 68RFE the usual root cause is lost overdrive apply pressure from a worn solenoid switch valve bore or eroded valve body worm tracks, made worse by added torque and towing heat. Fix the valve body during the rebuild or the new frictions will fail again.
Mopar ATF+4 (MS-9602). Set the level only after the fluid reaches at least 160 degrees F, which is the condition Chrysler specifies for checking level on this transmission.
Yes. After a rebuild, clear codes and run the quick learn procedure with a capable scan tool so the controller relearns clutch volumes. Skipping it often leaves harsh or soft shifts after the rebuild.
