Unhappy What trannies will fit 98 2500/5.9 butt??

Hi guys, well while back had shifting issues, replaced the soleniods and such in tranny, fixed problem. last week was driving with wifey, and it started dumping tranny fluid out the front of tranny, drove her home, while keeping fluids filled. shifted fine still. Was told tranny was junk, ha ha. was looking to rebuild, but nothing on the magnet or pan, little bit shavings, normal looking. anyone know what it could be. I got tranny out, need to know where to go from here. never done tranny. bout the only thing. Overdrive case is broke, I didn't do it. Was told bad yoke caused it. Can I get a tranny from another year or model dodge to bolt right up. case on top of tranny looks like its cracked too. What you all think? need some help here.

Thanks all. will wait to hear from ya!

Oh, also I have 1 ton suspension, Pull horses and such.

have you thought about upgrading to a trans that will last longer? check out patc transmissions here

not sure what trans/motor combo you have but these will fit just about all 94-01 dodges

Most likely it's the 46re trans. Trans pump could have taken a dump. Leaking fluid fun the front usually isn't a good sign, and if the OD housing is also cracked , bite the bullet and get a reman.
