FAQ
What problem does the TRANSGO RFE-5B-HP fix?
This kit is designed to address common RFE transmission complaints such as rough lock-up, TCC slide bang, TCC slip codes, low line pressure, converter drain-back, and limp-in issues while improving holding power.
Will this fit every 68RFE from 2011-2018?
No. This kit is intended for transmissions with the 5-check ball valve body. Verify the valve body before ordering because 7-check ball applications use a different kit.
Is this a good upgrade for towing or tuned trucks?
Yes. This kit is a strong choice for towing, work trucks, and higher-power applications because it improves pressure control and helps protect the overdrive frictions from excess slip and heat.
Does this require computer tuning?
No. TransGo markets this as a Tuneless™ high-pressure reprogramming kit, which is intended to improve hydraulic performance without requiring ECU/TCM tuning changes.
