68RFE Master Rebuild Kit, new and ready to install. Fits the 68RFE. Ships fast from the USA.
When a Ram 2500 or 3500 with the 6.7L Cummins starts slipping between gears, flaring on the upshift with a trailer on, or leaves black fluid and friction dust in the pan, the 68RFE needs to come out and be overhauled. This 68RFE master rebuild kit carries Raybestos friction material together with the steels, seals, gaskets and rubber that a complete teardown calls for, so every clutch pack is renewed and the whole case is resealed in one job instead of being patched one leak or one slip at a time.
The 68RFE has six clutch packs and no bands. Three input clutches (underdrive, overdrive and reverse) live in the input clutch assembly, and three holding clutches (2C, 4C and low/reverse) sit in the case. Every shift is the TCM releasing one of these packs while applying another, so a worn friction in any single pack shows up as a slip or flare on the specific shifts that use it. Pump seals, piston seals and sealing rings keep apply oil where it belongs; when they harden and leak, a clutch that has good friction material can still slip because it never sees full pressure. A master kit addresses both halves of that: new friction and steel plates for the packs, and new seals and gaskets for the hydraulic side.
The product photo shows clutch frictions and steels, molded pistons, lip seals, O-rings and sealing rings, and the case and pan gaskets. Raybestos is the friction brand on this listing.
A master kit is the answer when clutches and seals are worn throughout. It is the wrong answer when a single electrical part or a cross-leaking valve body is the cause, because those faults will burn up new clutches in short order. Read the 68RFE shift solenoid guide to rule out the solenoid pack and pressure switches first, and use the 68RFE Ram 2500 common problems guide to match your symptom to the likely failed part. GEARS Magazine notes that a rebuild still fails if the root cause is not understood, so look at the valve body and the pump before deciding the clutches alone were the problem. Our 68RFE rebuild guide covers the full teardown.
This kit is listed for the 68RFE without a year range, so it is aimed at the original 68RFE design used behind the 6.7L Cummins from the 2007.5 model year. The 68RFE was updated for 2019 with a redesigned valve body and other internal changes, and our catalog carries a separate 68RFE overhaul kit for 2019-24 for those trucks. Read the tag on the driver side of the case, compare the photo to your clutch packs, and send us your year and VIN if you want it checked before it ships. The full range of parts is in the 68RFE collection.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It is listed for the 68RFE without a year range, which matches the original 2007.5-2018 design used with the 6.7L Cummins. For a 2019 or newer truck, use our 2019-24 overhaul kit instead, and send us your year and VIN if you are not sure.
Yes. It is a master kit, so it includes Raybestos frictions, steel plates, pistons, seals and gaskets, as shown in the photo. It does not include hard parts like drums, the pump or the valve body.
If the truck burned an overdrive clutch or set pressure switch codes, check the valve body closely. Worn bores and cross-leaks there are a common reason new clutches fail early, and a remanufactured body costs less than a second rebuild.
Mopar ATF+4 only. Set the level hot, with the fluid at 160 degrees F or more, since a cold reading leads to overfilling.
For a stock truck on its first failure it usually is. A truck that tows at its limit or makes extra power may be better served by an upgraded kit such as the BD Diesel Stage 4 master kit, which adds valve body and clutch upgrades.
