Know This Transmission Before You Buy
The research behind our purchase interview — recalls, bulletins and real install economics for this transmission family:
A quick look at your own vehicle makes sure the right transmission shows up:
- Confirm the 8th digit of the VIN is 'L' (indicating the High Output 6.7L Cummins engine).
- Verify the transmission pan is large, deep, and squarish with a built-in drain plug.
- Check that the transmission dipstick has a yellow handle and is located on the driver's side (left side of the engine bay).
- Confirm the truck is a 4x4 (Four-Wheel Drive) model.
What the install really takes — plan and budget with confidence:
Special tools this job needs:
- Heavy-duty transmission jack (rated for at least 500 lbs)
- Torque converter clutch alignment tool
- Transmission cooler line flush kit
- Professional-grade bi-directional scan tool (such as Chrysler wiTECH 2.0)
Budget for these consumables at install:
- Mopar ASRC ATF (Part number: 05189966AD / 05189977AE / 05189966AB) or JWS3309 compliant fluid (DO NOT USE ATF+4)
- Internal sump filter (Mopar P/N: 68224232AA)
- Pan gasket (Mopar P/N: 68214914AA)
- Front pump/torque converter input seal
- Rear output/transfer case adapter seal
- Transmission cooler-line flush kit
What your vehicle’s computers will need after the swap:
What’s involved: TCM Adaptive Relearn (Quick Learn) and TCM software flash to the latest calibration
A complete TCM adaptive relearn is strictly required before driving the vehicle. A dealer-level scan tool (such as Chrysler wiTECH 2.0) is required to perform the relearn and flash the TCM with the newest software to address known shift quality issues.
Pro tips for a smooth first start-up — hand them to whoever does the install:
- Ensure engine block alignment dowel pins are in perfect condition to prevent front pump failure.
- Torque converter must be fully seated (spin and push until it clicks back three distinct times) to avoid cracking the high-pressure oil pump upon bolting.
- TCM Quick Learn/Relearn must be performed before the truck leaves the lift; driving without it will instantly burn up the clutches.
- Fluid level must be checked at operating temperature (167°F to 180°F) on a level surface with the engine idling in Park.
- A complete cooler-line flush is mandatory to clear out metal shavings and debris from the previous failed transmission.
Easy to get right once you know them:
- Using standard Chrysler ATF+4 or generic multi-vehicle synthetic fluids instead of Mopar ASRC / JWS3309 fluid.
- Skipping the transmission cooler and line flush, which recirculates debris and destroys the replacement unit.
- Failing to perform the TCM adaptive relearn before driving, causing immediate clutch damage.
- Reusing damaged, brittle, or corroded wiring harnesses.
- Ordering the wrong transmission by confusing the Aisin AS69RC with the 68RFE.
Not issues with the units on this page — the manufacturer documented these for every transmission of this family, wherever you buy one. Handy for your installer:

🔎 Recommended at install: Reprogram/flash the TCM with the latest software updates.
🔎 Recommended at install: Replace worn K2 clutch hub components.
🔎 Recommended at install: Ensure proper fluid cooling, perform cooler flush, or upgrade to heavy-duty torque converter.

Policies, in plain English.
Shipping & Handling
- Ships by LTL freight on a pallet — a real freight truck, not a parcel van
- Your checkout freight quote covers delivery to your door (liftgate service included for residential addresses)
- The carrier calls ahead to schedule a delivery window — someone must be present to receive it
- Typically palletized and picked up within 2–3 business days; transit time depends on distance

This part includes a 120-day warranty.
- If the part fails within the warranty window, we'll replace it or refund per the coverage terms
- Coverage is parts-only — installation labor is not included

Your pre-purchase interview reviews these exact terms with you before anything is charged.
Returns (30 Days)
We accept returns of uninstalled parts within 30 days of delivery for this part.

Damaged in Shipping?
Freight damage is rare — and you're fully protected when you do two things at delivery:
- Inspect before you sign — you're allowed time to look the pallet over while the driver waits
- Write any damage on the delivery receipt before signing — that one line is what makes a freight claim succeed
- Severe damage? Refuse the delivery — it goes back at no cost to you and we make it right
- Photograph the pallet before unwrapping; report concealed damage within 24 hours of delivery
We handle the carrier claim — you just help document it. Your pre-purchase interview walks through this checklist too.
Order Cancellation
Cancel before shipment for a full refund. Once the pallet has been built, a preparation charge may apply — and once the freight carrier picks it up, shipping costs are non-refundable and standard return terms apply. Your pre-purchase interview shows the exact numbers before you pay.
