GET THE BD 68RFE PROFESSIONALLY INSTALLEDīecause of the complexity of the electronic controls of the 68RFE and the 6.7L Cummins, replacing the transmission is not a small-shop or back-yard-mechanic job. BD Diesel's transmissions, on the other hand, offer the increased performance capabilities that most 68RFE owners want: they respond with smooth sharp shifts that keep the engine in the required torque range even with heavy loads and increased engine power. While the 68RFE transmission was built to handle the torque and horsepower of the 6.7L Cummins engine in its stock setup hauling normal loads, heavy loads and performance engine modifications can easily push them to their limits. Each transmission is dyno-tested to make sure it functions properly in all gears, then the pan is dropped and everything inspected and adjusted before it is shipped to you in one of our containers.ĬAN YOUR STOCK 68RFE TRANSMISSION KEEP UP?

Our transmission packages also include a BD rigid aluminum heavy duty transmission pans' which adds extra oil capacity and reduces case flex, plus, includes a BD auxiliary full flow filter kit for extra protection. Light throttle shift firmness is also maintained at these higher apply pressures and no shuttle shifting problems. Inside each transmission is a NEW DESIGN valve body that achieves up to 80% higher clutch apply pressures over the stock unit and up to 50% over the competitors with the pressure increase starting at much lower engine rpm's and at lighter throttle pedal position movement.

We recommend billet steel input and output shafts for applications with extra big tires and modified power levels.

We install NEW input shafts and hubs to eliminate possible metal fatigue or high torque load damage from prior use. The stock thrust washers, which disintegrate and leave metal filings in your transmission, are replaced with roller Torrington bearings. We re-program the valve body for higher line pressure, and add heavy-duty clutches with up to 25% more material than stock. So when you start adding power modules, turbo upgrades and other bolt-ons, it's only a matter of time before the transmission wears out and eventually fails.īD transmissions are built specifically to handle the high torque loads of diesel engines at our state-of-the-art transmission facility. Your transmission was only designed to handle the torque and horsepower the stock engine delivers, and in the case of some Dodge models, even the stock torque can present a challenge.
