Tranny Question
I just bought my 1996 Dakota Sport. They tranny went out so I need to replace it. The factory tranny is the 44RE, my question is will other Dakota tranny's work or I need the 44RE?
Thanks Pappy |
What engine? 2 or 4 wheel drive?
|
My bad. It's a 2wd club cab with a 318 in her.
|
44RE and 42RE fit right in; but I'd stick with the 44RE.
46RE is supposed to fit; !I! always thought the 46RE was a bit longer, but I've been told not. You can also upgrade to a manual transmission if you wish; 5 speed conversions are out there, and you can even convert to a 6 or higher speed manual. RwP |
Can someone please tell me what year trucks will have one of these tranny's? 44RE, 42RE, 46RE.
|
Any 1996 or newer with a 3.9, 5.2, or 5.9 in it, and an automatic.
The 46RE would be behind the 5.9; the 42RE or a 44RE behind the 3.9; and no telling which behind a 5.2 (it seems to have come either way depending on the options.) The torque converter for a 5.9 may be externally balanced; so do pay attention to that. RwP |
Thanks for the info.

all 3 of my 318 Dakotas have had the 46 RH/RE from the factory.
|
Is the tranny code marked on the tranny and if so where are they located?
