68RFE Overhaul Kit 2019-24, new and ready to install. Fits the 68RFE. Ships fast from the USA.
This overhaul kit is for the late 68RFE, the blue-connector six-speed behind the 6.7L Cummins in 2019 through 2024 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups. Owners find it when a newer truck starts flaring into 5th or 6th with a trailer behind it, leaks ATF at the pan or front seal, or engages slowly into Drive after a cold night, and the transmission is coming out for a proper rebuild rather than another fluid change. The photo shows the gasket and seal set: separator plate gaskets for the valve body, a pan gasket, the front pump seal, piston lip seals, sealing rings and O-rings. Frictions and steels are not part of an overhaul kit and are bought once the packs have been measured.
The 68RFE builds every gear by pressurizing clutch pistons, so the whole unit depends on rubber and Teflon holding oil inside the right circuit. Sealing rings on the input shaft and drums carry pressure across parts that spin, lip seals on each piston turn that pressure into clamping force, and the gaskets between the case, pump, channel plates and valve body keep neighboring circuits from bleeding into one another. Heat from towing hardens all of it, and once a piston seal stops sealing the clutch slips even while the controller commands full apply. The 2019 redesign makes the valve body gaskets more important than on earlier trucks. Transmission Digest describes how Chrysler added a separate TCC solenoid in its own housing on the lower channel plate and a normally applied Reverse clutch solenoid in the spot where the old overdrive solenoid sat, and that change brought a different silicone-beaded solenoid block gasket with an isolated Reverse feed.
Start with codes, fluid level set hot and a look at the pan debris. Compare actual against commanded line pressure, because a worn pump produces the same soft apply as leaking seals; our 68RFE pump failure guide covers how to separate the two. If the complaint is a harsh or erratic shift with clean fluid, work through the 68RFE shift solenoid guide first, since a solenoid fault does not need a teardown. On 2024 trucks, check whether the build date falls in the June 14 to September 4, 2024 window covered by FCA bulletin 21-012-25 for cracked rear selective thrust washers before assuming the problem is seals.
Listed for the 68RFE from 2019 through 2024, which is the Ram 2500 and 3500 with the 6.7L Cummins and the blue pass-through connector on the left side of the case. Check that connector color before ordering. A white or gray connector means a 2007-2018 design that uses the earlier solenoid block gasket, and Transmission Digest warns that the wrong gasket causes either a bind-up when moving forward or a neutral 2-3 shift. Match the gaskets in the box against your old ones, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm. Earlier kits such as the 68RFE overhaul kit for 2007-2024 and the rest of the year-specific parts 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 the gasket and seal set: valve body gaskets, pan gasket, front seal, piston seals, sealing rings and O-rings. Frictions and steels are bought separately once you have measured the packs.
It is listed for 2019-2024. A 2018 has the gray connector design with a different solenoid block gasket, so look at our 2007-2024 or 2011-2018 kits, or send us your VIN and we will match it.
Look at the pass-through electrical connector on the left side of the case. 2019 and later units have a blue connector; earlier units are white or gray.
ATF+4 only. Set the level with the fluid at 160 degrees F or above, then recheck after a short drive.
Possibly, but first check the build date. FCA bulletin 21-012-25 covers 2024 Ram 2500/3500 Cummins trucks built June 14 to September 4, 2024 for a cracked rear selective thrust washer, which needs a different repair.
