In this thread, I will be detailing the '07.5 Dodge 68RFE 6-speed automatic, incl adding a Transgo shift kit - pics to follow...........
Here's the 6-range 8-class torque-input Rear-wheel drive Full Electronic control six speed transmission - has a separate TCM to handle the shifting chores - drives the large NP27x transfer case
Note the two shaft-speed sensors, input and output - large connector is TCM control - range-selection by cable
Note the line pressure sensor, and large-dia oil cooler pipe connectors
5.9 bolt-pattern and diameter - that large round pie pan is the front cover\seal, covers the dual-range pump
'Nuther shot of the large input shaft
Standard DCJ NP241\271 bolt-pattern, 4wd tailshaft final inspection 335th day of '06, laser etched
Here is the very aggressive 13"dia t\c
Note the four flats to engage the pump drive-gear, and the silicone drive-hub seal
Also, the 68RFE has a larger 'cooler with larger pipes than the 48RE
The pilot diameter in the 6.7 crankshaft is 2.130" while the 5.9 is 1.810" - this means you won't be seeing a 48RE behind the 6.7 for a while, or a 68RFE behind the 5.9 - the t\c-to-flexplate bolt pattern and bolt circle diameter is identical - Suncoast has indicated they will build t\c's as required
