Change the fluid and filter and adjust the bands before you go to all the trouble you are talking about. This may very well be all that is needed since you have caught it early.
You can not flush the newer torque converters while they are on the vehicle. The old torqueflite converters used to have a drain plug. You can flush the lines and cooler with the proper equipment.

46re was not used till 1996. Everything before 96 was still hydraulic governor re is electronic garbage, I have one.
What engine do you have? 3.9 uses 42rh and 5.2 and 5.9 use 46rh
see here https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen-ram-faqs-diys-and-how-tos/292409-what-automatic-transmission-do-i-have.html.
There is wealth of info in the 2nd gen forum FAQ's section on these tranny's.
Also follow instructions on how to download and watch this video https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...8-46rh-re.html.
Also check to see if you have this and delete it also https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...46rh-46re.html

i am pretty sure you do not want to flush your transmission. hopefully the new fluid will help it along but you may want to start saving your money to replace it or rebuild it. the 46RH's are know for to be somewhat weak. the 93 ram charger i bought only has 212,000km on it and it has already had the trans rebuilt. you may from now on want to start your with the truck in neutral and not let it idle in park. the 46RH's do not pump fluid in park which is what causes them to fail prematurely. there is shift kits to fix these problems but yours may almost be a bit too far gone to save.

i can get a tranny out of a 2wd d100 i dont think it has overdrive and it has 3**** miles on it. and would my transfer case bolt on to it because if it would then i can get it really cheap and im going to buy the motor too because i might as well put the motor in mine too and just switch the fuel injection system from my motor onto the one from the d100 and have a pretty much brand new motor and transmission
And the w100(4wd)looks like this
You would have to swap extention housing's.

There is more to it than that...the housing holds the OD section of the trans so it is a complete tear down and swap then reassemble the trans.
