Working with Jasper means we are now able to expand our ability to provide our customers with enhanced quality products like the Chrysler 68RFE transmission which they have expanded and also upgraded. This rear-wheel-drive transmission is now available for 2009 through 2017 Dodge / RAM Diesel engine applications.

According to Jasper Engines & Transmission:  The new Sonnax Smart Tech^® Drum utilizes a thicker, double-sided overdrive friction plate, which can withstand a higher heat capacity, preventing the chance of heat-related clutch plate warping.” 

“In addition, JASPER added Sonnax Line Pressure Booster Kit includes a stronger regulator spring in the pressure regulator valve circuit, along with a wiring harness that progressively increases transmission pressure 10-25 psi.  The progressive line pressure increase allows smooth shifts at low rpm while ensuring extra holding capacity in all clutches as demand increases.”  

With both of these upgrades, the overdrive clutch torque capacity in this transmission will be increased by 25 percent.   Also available is a Sonnax triple disc torque converter option for heavy-duty 68RFE applications.

The 68RFE is covered by a 3-Year/100,000 Mile nationwide, transferable, parts and labor warranty.  So, if you are running into transmission trouble with your Dodge or Chrysler please stop at Ekart Automotive In Manhattan, KS where our technicians will have the answers and the products to get you back on the road!  If your transmission needs to be replaced the best option is a Jasper Transmission backed by their warranty!
