The 68RFE transmission is the big brother to the 45/545RFE transmission. The RFE platform was originally designed by Chrysler and was introduced in 1999 with the debut of the new Jeep Grand Cherokee. "RFE" stands for Rear-wheel drive Fully Electronic control. The RFE design was mostly noted in the new design to have 3 planetary sets for a 4-speed transmission in the 45RFE.
In 2007, Chrysler debuted the new 6.7 Powerplant in the all new Dodge Ram, and Dodge wanted a transmission that was specifically designed for function. The previous platform utilized the Torqueflite 48RE platform and had been around since the late 50's when they released the first 727 in 1956 after purchasing the license from Simpson on the gearset in 1955
The 46/47/48 Chrysler platforms were 3 and 4-speed units that were mechanically and hydraulically controlled, with the most notable control system being governor pressure.
The first improvement Chrysler wanted to make over the Torqueflite platform was, obviously, the amount of forward gear. For the 68RFE transmission, Chrysler opted to change to a six-speed unit. The additional gears allowed Chrysler to add higher 1st-gear ratios and tighter shift recovery from one gear to the next. The tighter shift recovery essentially keeps the vehicle in higher averaged horsepower and torque numbers, while also adding torque multiplication.
The gear ratios were increased. as well. The new 68RFE boasts a whopping 3.23:1 first gear, compared to the 2.45:1 first gear found in the previous 47/48RE platform. Chrysler also increased second gear to a 1.83:1 versus the 1.45:1 found previously. The 68RFE was also given two overdrive gears, with 5th being .81:1 and 6th with the very deep .62:1. The predecessor had a single overdrive that was a .69:1.
The SunCoast V2 68RFE Billet Drum is the most revolutionary thing that has happened to the 68RFE. There has been no other project here that we have invested as much research and development in.
In this valve body, we address several key issues within this hydraulic circuit using a multi-faceted approach. This kit includes everything you will need to achieve 200psi without any additional tuning and is designed to be a complete drop-in.
Features and benefits of this shift calibration kit include a new pump half, TCC limit valve, TCC switch valve, five billet three-ring accumulator pistons, billet upgraded valve body plate, an upgraded heavy duty accumulator plate, and custom-calibrated spring rates for PR circuit.
SunCoast's 68RFE Billet Input Shaft is a high-performance upgrade designed for heavy-duty and high-torque applications. Crafted from billet 300M steel alloy, this input shaft offers exceptional yield strength, ensuring durability and reliability under extreme conditions.
-
Drop-In Replacement: Designed as a direct replacement part, making it easy to install without the need for additional modifications.
-
Superior Material: Constructed from billet 300M steel alloy, known for its high tensile strength and resilience, providing a significant upgrade over standard input shafts.
-
Heat Treated: The shaft undergoes a rigorous heat treatment process to enhance its strength and longevity, making it capable of withstanding high-stress environments.
-
Precision Ground: The precision grinding ensures exact dimensions and a perfect fit, contributing to smoother operation and extended service life.
-
Gun Drilled: The gun drilling technique used to create the through hole eliminates stress risers commonly associated with conventional drilling procedures, reducing the risk of failure and enhancing overall performance.
If you are looking to increase the performance of the factory unit and looking for a cost-effective solution this is the converter for you. This converter, while great for heavy duty towing and hauling, is it not intended for racing.
