Little do they realize the filter will only flow so much as it clogs with clutch/band particles. And then the heat and lack of lubrication kills it. I do mine at 100k or when it starts to show some brown tint. Got 3 vehicles, all with over 180k+ miles. R.I.P.- Gary "Coop" Davis 02/09/68-05/13/04

I used to hear all the time that up through '02 the dodge transmissions were junk. I beg to differ. I do have the trans flushed about every 40k though. I'm a firm believer that's what keeps it alive.

Just traded it off at 70,000 miles & trans was not right. You has to put it in neutral to circulate, if it had been sitting for a few days or it would not go. Have a 07 now, we will see how it is. cny25421@centurytel.net 70 Duster Turbo Charged 79 Lil Red Express Bonded Locksmith

That sent debris through the system and OD would fail. I'm not sure if the problem would go away with regular servicing or if the converter clutches were simply too weak for heavy duty use.

YES they can do better and lost a lot of customers because of some failures, but in the early 80 chevy had the 700r4 and a dealer showed me a factory letter that stated they believed close to 100% failed before 50,000!!!!!! Then the chevy guys make such a deal about the dodge auto when maybe 15% have issues!!! A shift kit will double the life of any dodge auto, in my opinion.

Great truck!! I agree. Lack of tranny maintenance is the core result of most tranny failures. That's not to say that there could be the occasional runt in the bunch from the factory. I had the A727 Loadflite non lock-up in my 87 W150. I pushed, pulled, hauled and climbed with that one. Sold it with 213k on the original tranny (and regular fluid/filter changes) and it still shifted like new.

The poorly functioning overdrive on the auto and undersized NV3500 were two of he worst things Dodge did to handicap themselves with trucks. They had the look at that time for sure and a lot of folks jumped over only to be greeted with failure. After my father's '94 and my '99 my plan was to never buy another new Dodge truck ever again. A friend has a a Hemi R/T in the newest body style and it might make me change my mind. Of course, he got this after his 6.7L Cummins was traded out through the Lemon Laws.

(Even U-joints too) Only trouble I ever had with the trans was the little clip that holds the boost valve in broke and it started throwing a code. (140,000 miles) I took it to a local dealer and was told that "it needs a complete overhaul". I pulled the VB myself, took the VB out of a trans I bought off the Internet, and swapped them. Trans has worked fine ever since. I have raced the truck, hauled more crap than you can imagine, and pulled my race car trailer with it. I still get people telling me I better not pull the trailer in OD or it will kill the trans. I change fluid/filter every 30,000. "Everybody funny, now you funny too."

Put any real hp/tq to it and it will die quickly. I deleted my muffler and tweaked the pump on my 92 Cummins when the truck had 127,000 miles. The transmission started slipping in OD at 273,000 miles. When I tore it down there was nothing wrong inside. All the friction materials were in great shape and the steels had no signs of heat. There was no debris in the pan. The seals were bad. Not bad for a truck that has been raced, off roaded, jumped, used for hauling, and thoroughly abused.

As I said earlier the newer 6spd autos will last with the additional hp of say 150hp. The old one like you have and older will not.. So the newer trans are stronger... That is when they got better as per the question of the original poster.. I did not see him ask anyone how to maintain one... As far as pre 2000.. I like the 47rh better than the re... 2011 RAM3500 1967 Fastback Barracuda with some go fast goodies.

I've overhauled a few that check valve in the trans line near the regulator became clogged. I believe it was with debris from the torque converter clutch. This blocks the return from the cooler which doubles as the lube feed for the overdrive. No lube spells disaster. Doug

HotRodDave I Live Here Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 12,419 Kalispell Mt.	The problem with the lock up converters was not the fact it was lock up. The problem is they try to make all the shifts real smooth so customers don't notice the shifts, %99 of customers want a silky smooth shift. To get a smooth shift you engage clutches and bands more slowly, this allows them to heat up and burn then fall apart. The old fluids that chrysler used allowed the clutches to grab each other faster and burn less but shift harder. The ATF+5 is very low friction for smooth shifts and is bad in the trannys that were originally desighned for the higher friction fluid, the low friction fluid was a cheesy way to soften the shift. I worked at a dodge dealer in 01 and 02 and we replaced TONS of trannys. It was NOT an issue of service or not as 1/2 of them were not even due for their first service. They had new TSBs almost every year for all sorts of little things in those trannys, I like most people figured I was just seeing the worst in a manufacturer because I was a dealer tech, then I went to Toyota and replaced 2 a year instead of 2 a week. The newer mopar trannys are much better at dealing with the crappy new fluids unlike the a-500 and 518s that were desighned to work with the old high friction fluid. I always use Type-F when I build a tourqueflite based trans and have not had a single comeback on one (knock on wood). I am not causing global warming, I am just trying to hold off a impending Ice Age!

It really depends how the transmission was maintained, how the truck was driven, etc. I don't know if there was a "good year" for these transmissions. Some transmissions can last a long time and other will fail within a short period of time. If you are concerned about transmission reliability, I would look at a 2002 & newer Ram truck with the 4.7L or 5.7 Hemi V8. The 545RFE automatic transmissions in these trucks are more reliable and tend to have a better service record than the old 4 speed automatics. Just my

I think the 46RH was basically a good design, but the defective seals caused problems. When the 46RE came in 1996 along with the OBD-II PCM system, I believe the new VFS caused a lot of problems by simply failing, and further problems by reducing the ATF fluid flows in a 'penny-wise, pound-stupid' attempt by Chrysler to improve MPG slightly. The SAE paper # 982674 by Chrysler {see attachment} does show in the graphs where they compare four different ATFs that the Chrysler ATF+4 (9602) fluid had less friction clamping ability than the ATF+3. I know that soon after I switched to ATF+4 in a 1995 46RH, I was initially happy that there was less 'bump shift' when coasting to a stop as the trans downshifted into 1 st gear, but my torque converter lockup clutch began to slip. 6426817-9602ChryslerATF+SAEpaper4982674.pdf (309 downloads)

It still shifting GREAT, and when I serviced it it was blood red with minimal debris in the pan. It is going to need a Kit when I get done wakeing up the Cummins, but its still fine in stock form. I really think the whole Dodge = Crappo overdrive trannies is an overblown myth. Kasey My 94 Cummins used to kick itself out of O/D at 70 mph in cruise whenever it felt like it, scared the crap outta me a few times, like being slammed from behind, then the torque converter used to lock and uplock and essentially 'hunt' between 1800 and 2000 rpm while driving at 70. I unloaded it for an 01 6 speed HO stick and never looked back. Any truck, IMO, that will see some real work, should have a stick, period...flame on...
