This TransGo TFOD-Diesel SHIFT KIT® Valve Body Repair Kit fits 1988 to 2003 Dodge, Ram and Jeep vehicles equipped with the A518, 46RH, 46RE, A618, 47RH and 47RE TorqueFlite four speed automatic transmission with gas or diesel engines. This kit does not fit the 48RE transmission or the 2003 Dodge trucks with the 8th VIN code of ‘C’. Common complaints on this transmission are TCC slip or shudder, 2nd gear band and direct clutch failure as well as torque converter drain-back.

Features and benefits:

The kit includes valve body and internal components that are designed for higher operating pressures. As a result, with MAX main line pressure set to 125 psi in 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear and up to 150 psi in 4th or in lock-up, this kit provides a significant increase in torque capacity for all of the friction elements including the TCC clutch. These elevated pressure specs are ideal for the heavy-duty work truck as well as for pulling the fishing boat to the loading ramp. With the kit installed it brings a whole new driving experience to the truck while keeping the shift timing at the OE RPM’s for the optimal engine power curve. Therefore, the shifts are short and clean with no harshness, bangs or clangs.

There are several innovative components in this kit. For instance, our line-to-converter feed system which helps the unit run cooler and promotes longer TCC clutch life.  Also included is a TransGo pioneered manual valve to reduce overnight forward and reverse delayed engagement complaints due to torque converter drain back.

 Corrects/Prevents/Reduces:

• TCC slip or shudder
• Reduces converter drain-back
• 2nd band failure
• 3rd clutch failure
• Increases TCC and clutch element torque capacity
• Improves TCC engagement feel
• Provides short clean shifts

This TFRE-PRO Reprogramming Kit fits 1995 and newer Dodge and RAM vehicles equipped with the 46RE, 47RE and 48RE automatic transmissions. Does not fit 1995-type valve bodies without the 3/16 check-ball in lower channel casting.

Common complaints on this transmission are TCC slip or shudder, 2nd gear band and direct clutch failure as well as torque converter drain-back.

Features and benefits:

This Reprogramming Kit is designed for the aggressive sport driver with engine power additions that is looking for that competitive edge in transmission torque capacity. This kit includes valve body and servo components as well as internal components that are calibrated for higher operating pressures in all gears.

As a result, with a more aggressive pressure curve and MAX main line set to 185 psi in all forward gears, the kit provides as much as 75% increase in torque capacity for all the clutch elements including the TCC clutch. This kit includes our patent-pending triple valve body separator plate which allows you to achieve TCC operation in all forward gears in 1st to 4th on 46-47 type valve RE bodies with the use of a toggle switch (not furnished). Keeping the shift timing at the OE RPM’s for the optimal engine power curve brings a whole new driving experience to the truck. Therefore, the shifts are short, clean and flat out hold as the power is rolled on. We feel this kit is the Holy Grail of 47-48RE valve body kits on the market, you are going love it!

Packed with patented components

There are several innovative components in this kit. One of them is our line-to-converter feed system which helps the unit run cooler and promotes longer TCC clutch life.  Likewise, the TransGo pioneered manual valve reduces overnight forward and reverse delayed engagement complaints due to torque converter drain back. The kit also includes a drop-in detent ball bore repair bullet that works directly in the existing worn bore, this helps with difficult park dis-engagement problem. Similarly, the new drop-in TV and throttle reducing valve (boost) with relocated lands restores the TV pressure boost system functionality providing quick line pressure response in forward and reverse ranges. In addition, the valve body modifications provide increased flow to the direct clutch and band release circuit reducing 2-3 shift overlap.

Lastly, you can install this kit with the transmission in the truck. On the other hand, there are internal sealing rings furnished in the kit if the transmission is on the bench for overhaul.

Corrects/Prevents/Reduces:

• TCC slip or shudder
• Reduces converter drain-back
• Soft shifts
• 2nd band failure
• 3rd clutch failure
• 2-3 shift overlap
• Increases clutch element torque capacity
• Improves TCC engagement feel
• Provides full control of TCC apply in 2nd, 3rd, 4th as well as optional 1st gear lock-up
• Provides short clean shifts

Heavy Duty Throttle Valve Kit Part No. 22771-HDK3 Fits all Chrysler RWD models, including ‘05-later units with motorized linkage. View Instructions The TV bore wears out easily in listed Chrysler RWD transmissions, with the 48RE seeing much higher rates of poor line pressure rise and inconsistent shift timing compared to earlier units.

Sonnax heavy duty throttle valve kit 22771-HDK3 is ideal for earlier, wide-open throttle shift points in new or lightly used valve bodies. The modified valve reduces gear hunting and the need to back off the throttle when shifting under heavy load. An optional balance spring improves throttle control if the bore shows minimal wear.

• Restores and extends line pressure response and shift timing in new/lightly-used units

• Hardened steel plunger and valve increase durability, especially in 48REs

• Optional shims and TV spring for custom TV pressure adjustment and tuning

Pump , Upgraded material

Excessive torque converter hub-to-pump bushing clearance is a root cause of code 38, TCC slip codes, front seal leakage, loss of prime code 35, and pump noise. The OE bushing is machined in place, allowing a wide tolerance on pump housing bore diameters.

Bore diameters can vary by more than .003". This wide tolerance is a problem when using standard replacement bushings. Standard replacement bushings will often have .008" or more hub-to-bushing clearance with an average 10 times more oil loss than the Sonnax improved fit bushing.

The Sonnax improved fit pump bushing 12502-01 will restore the clearance necessary for proper operation. The Sonnax bushings should be used when the housing diameter is greater than 1.6175", which will be in most cases.

Neutral Safety Backup Insulator Service Kit
Part No. 22229-07K

Fits '01-later units with digital range sensor

Contents

Sonnax offers two neutral safety backup insulator service kits 22229-03 and 22229-07K which replace missing, cracked or broken insulators and eliminate the chance of returning fatigued or brittle OE parts to service.

• Direct replacement, no special tools required
• Securely fastens to the detent lever (rooster comb) with a 1/8" diameter steel pop rivet
• Eliminates searching through cores for a usable detent lever

Note: The rivet must be installed as described on instruction sheet or damage to the insulator will occur.

Part No. 22912A OE Part No. 2801271 Many Chrysler A904 and 42H/RE transmissions experience rear servo piston sticking/breakage, pin bore wear and reverse band slippage.

The servo piston has a tendency to get cocked in the bore, inhibiting band apply.

The high reverse line pressure continues to apply against a cocked piston, causing piston breakage. The bore of the piston also wears from side loading, resulting in insufficient band apply pressure.

Sonnax billet aluminum rear servo piston 22912A addresses these problems.

• Modified seal ridges prevent piston from sticking in case bore

• Billet aluminum won’t crack like OE cast piston

• 2.540" O.D. / 64.5mm

904,500 Low & Reverse Steel Servo (Superior K030 ) Super Servo

This Problem Solver deals with these problems:

• Stabilized piston will not flip in the servo bore. 

• Moves lip seal up and out of worn area in bore. (case saver) 

• Constructed of steel for strength.

1. This newly designed piston is much wider and uses a teflon support ring along with lip seal to create a completely stable piston. This piston will not flip in the bore.

2. The lip seal has been moved up to enable it to work in a less worn portion of the bore. This can prove as a real case saver.

3. This servo is available for 904 thru 500
