Working as a CAE ENGINEER in Transmission team and Watching this video is so helpful ❤ Thanks man ❤

I agree that it is the best teardown video. I would love to see a 68RFE build.

I could listen to this gentleman all day.

Outstanding disassembly video and description of the process. I know where I'll be sending my 68rfe for its next rebuild.

That's incredible! Way to go! Great video!

Amazingly well done video! I’d love to see a 68RFE build video, either using stock or upgraded components!

Great video Robert, more importantly it is very educational. Big note for DIYers is on the input drum, even though clutches are one sided, they still alternate between internal and external splines to fit into clutch drum and clutch hub. I'm a big fan of your channel.

@@SouthpawAutoworks that is very cool that you guys are doing this, ive built a couple motors in my life time, but have always been terrified of tackling a Transmision because of the complexity and sheer quantity of parts inside, but i may give it a go because i recently bought a used 2014 ram 2500 to tow my tractor, i got a decent deal on it and it was tunned and deleted, normally i wouldn't mess with that kind of thing, but it runs so well, at least it did until 2 weeks ago, .... torque converter quit locking up, dropped pan and serviced it, tons of clutch material....Iam so glad i bought an extended warranty, it looks like they are going to cover it, but they will only approve stock parts to go back in, i have since put the TCM tunning back to stock, at least for now, my thoughts are to try and get my hands on a good usable core and build one, and beef it up a bit , and i would have a spare, i don't plan on owning another truck so i gotta figure these issues out, between you guys and some others online ,i feel i can avoid some of the major pitfalls and mistakes when building the 68rfe, thanks again for the help.....

Real good video ,sir. We do the egr and dpf delete on my 3500 6,7 dodge.and just has transs problems..what kind upgrade on transmission you recomend after the ,deleted?

What a good rebuild that will make this Tran good for towing and all around and not searching for fourth and fifth gear?

The fart @5 min was the most relatable part of

Should you replace the one way clutch every time , or can it be inspected ?

Where do i start when i lost all drive gears. Have reverse and park. Stopped a red light and when it turned green i had nothing lol. Fluid was full wasnt burnt at all. Just happened randomly. Its a ATS stage 3 with co-pilot 2 years old. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I just had mine rebuilt. The input shaft broke and the case. Im having trouble with the torque converter locking up. The shop that rebuilt my transmission pulled the pan yesterday and said they couldn't find anything wrong. The only time it acts up is when I go to pull a camper. I scanned it while it was running and I'm getting random codes. Could the problem be with the wiring harness for the transmission or the sensors in the transmission

Do a G56 manual transmission tear down.

What's the best gear to tow a 40 ft 5th wheel.

Quick question how do you tell the difference between a 545 and a 68 RFE

These transmisissions have an average life span of 140 - 190k miles acording to the data. I have one with 162k and its starting to shift hard and bounce around between gears when pulling. Is a rebuild better or is it better to juat put a brand new, improved transmission in it?

Please do a build video!

Thank you for your input.

Every revision of this transmission, imagine how many customers had to deal with their dealer where the dealer had to collect specific information to which the engineers could use to revise the design. Each revision probably millions of dollars in behind the scenes work, from shop time, to mechanics labour, to lawsuits… lemon laws, etc. The road to a revised transmission is paved with a lot of pissed off customers fighting for warranty.

I have a 2021 2500 Dodge 4x4 Big Horn with a 68RFE. My transmission just broke down for the second time. 1st time was The High Pressure Line Sensor. This time was the clutch and pump need replacement. It’s under warranty with only 9725 miles on it. I’m really having a hard time understanding why this is happening to a brand new truck? What should I be asking the dealership as they are fixing this. I haul a fifth wheel trailer and I am very worried this could happen again. Your suggestions please?

I have a 2008 68rfe mine blew at 130,000. The pump blew because the line pressure wasn’t enough to keep it lubed up. There is tons you can beef up on these. Valve body keeps line pressure. Gotta update that. This guy is good check out precision transmission on you tube I think he built a 68rfe. Good luck. Mine was $4500. I think one too many burn outs.
