68RFE Master Rebuild Kit 2007-2018, new and ready to install. Fits the 68RFE. Ships fast from the USA.
Owners of a 2007.5 through 2018 Ram 2500, 3500, 4500 or 5500 with the 6.7L Cummins who are facing a full 68RFE overhaul usually end up buying the frictions in one box, the gaskets in another and the filters somewhere else. This 2007-2018 master rebuild kit puts them together: the product photo shows BorgWarner-branded friction and steel packs, bonded pistons, the main pan filter, the spin-on filter, a full valve body and case gasket set, a seal and O-ring kit and a small cooler line seal pack. It is meant for a truck that is slipping, flaring or burning fluid and needs every clutch and seal renewed in one teardown.
The first-generation 68RFE runs six forward speeds (3.23 first down to a 0.62 sixth) through three planetary sets and six clutch packs, with no bands. That makes it entirely dependent on apply pressure reaching each piston. On these trucks the pistons are bonded, meaning the rubber seal is molded onto the steel piston, so a hardened or torn seal lip cannot be replaced on its own; you replace the piston. Having new pistons in the box is the main difference between this kit and a basic overhaul gasket set. The kit's caution card warns against prying the rubber with a knife during removal, which tells you the pistons are meant to be swapped as complete assemblies.
The two filters matter as well. The 68RFE uses a pan filter on the valve body and a spin-on filter in the cooler return circuit, and both trap the debris a failed clutch pack leaves behind.
Before committing to a full teardown, pull the pan and read the debris, then check for stored pressure switch and line pressure codes. The 68RFE Ram 3500 shift problems guide lays out which shift complaints point to clutches and which point to the valve body or solenoids, and the 68RFE Ram 3500 common problems guide covers the heat and towing failures that wear these units out. Sonnax notes that the OE overdrive clutches are the weak link near maximum weight or with added power, so a towing truck with an overdrive slip is the textbook candidate for this kit.
This kit is listed for the 68RFE from 2007 through 2018, the original design behind the 6.7L Cummins before the 2019 update. Within that span, valve body castings and some internal parts changed, so compare the separator plate and pistons in the photo against your teardown, or send us your year and VIN to check before it ships. A 2019 or newer truck needs the 68RFE overhaul kit for 2019-24 instead. Every year range is in the 68RFE collection.
A deeper pan such as the heavy-duty cast aluminum 68RFE pan adds fluid capacity and cooling for trucks that tow often.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It is listed for 68RFE units from 2007 through 2018, which includes 2014. Some internal parts changed within that span, so send us your year and VIN if you want the kit checked against your truck before it ships.
Yes. The photo shows bonded pistons, the pan filter and the spin-on filter along with the clutch packs, gaskets and seals. Drums, the pump, the valve body and bushings are not included.
The 68RFE uses bonded pistons with the seal molded on. A hard or damaged seal cannot be replaced by itself, so new pistons are the only way to restore full apply pressure.
No. The 68RFE changed for 2019. Use the 2019-24 overhaul kit for those trucks.
Fill with Mopar ATF+4 only, set the level at 160 degrees F or hotter, run a TCM quick learn, and recheck the level after the first drive cycles. Change the fluid and spin-on filter early to clear any leftover debris.
