68RFE Overhaul Kit 2010-2018, new and ready to install. Fits the 68RFE. Ships fast from the USA.
This listing is titled as an overhaul kit, but what you receive is a valve body rebuild kit for the 2010-2018 RFE family, not the gasket and seal set a full transmission overhaul uses. It is aimed at the Ram 2500 or 3500 6.7L Cummins owner whose 68RFE flares between gears, shifts soft once the fluid is hot, slips into 5th and 6th with a load behind it, or engages late into Drive. Those complaints very often start in the valve body, and this kit rebuilds the parts of it that wear out: a billet aluminum channel plate, a blocked separator plate with matching gaskets, a drop-in solenoid switch valve with plugs, billet accumulator pistons with seals, and a set of heavy-duty bolts.
Every one of the six forward gears in a 68RFE is made by the solenoid pack sending pressure through the valve body to a clutch pack. The factory channel plate is a casting, and under high line pressure and heat it can warp or wear until oil leaks from one circuit into the next. GEARS Magazine names that kind of valve body leakage as the leading cause of overdrive clutch burn-up in these trucks. The billet plate stays flat, and the blocked separator plate with fresh gaskets stops pressure escaping between the halves.
The solenoid switch valve decides whether the low/reverse circuit or the converter clutch circuit gets fed. When its bore wears, oil bypasses the valve and you get flare on the 1-2, 2-3 or 3-4 shift and delayed engagement. Normally that bore has to be reamed for an oversize valve. The switch valve and plugs in this kit are made to drop in without a reamer, which keeps the job within reach of a careful home mechanic. The billet accumulator pistons replace worn or cracked pistons that soften every apply.
Check fluid condition and line pressure first. A scan tool showing actual line pressure wandering away from commanded pressure, with clean fluid, points at the valve body or pump rather than at burnt clutches. Our 68RFE valve body testing guide covers the vacuum test on the switch valve bore and the other checks, and the 68RFE pump failure guide helps you rule out a worn pump, since a pump that cannot make pressure will make a new valve body feel the same as the old one.
The listing covers 2010 through 2018, the gray solenoid connector years after the overdrive solenoid was dropped and before the 2019 redesign with its separate TCC solenoid. The maker also lists the same kit for the 65RFE and 66RFE of those years, and says gas and diesel units differ, so match the transmission tag, not just the truck. Lay your separator plate next to the one in the photo and confirm the bolt pattern, or send us your year and VIN and we will check it. Other 68RFE parts by year are on the 68RFE collection page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. It is a valve body rebuild kit: billet channel plate, blocked separator plate with gaskets, drop-in solenoid switch valve and plugs, billet accumulator pistons with seals, and bolts. Clutch packs, case seals and the pan gasket are not included.
No. The switch valve and plugs are designed to drop into the worn bore without reaming. Still clean the valve body thoroughly and inspect the other bores while it is apart.
No. It is listed for 2010-2018 units. The 2019-up 68RFE added a separate TCC solenoid and a reverse solenoid, with a different valve body and gasket layout.
Yes, the valve body comes out from underneath once the pan is off. If the overdrive clutch is already burnt, though, the transmission has to come out for a rebuild.
Mopar ATF+4 only. Set the level hot, at 160 degrees F or above, then do a TCM quick learn and road test through all six gears.
