So I have a 1997 dodge Ram 5.9 1500 4x4.
with a 46 re trans
I bought a trans from a guy who said it was a 97 46re 4x4

so I’m ripping apart and if gas different filter 2 screws I’m a plastic case and a square selenoid, compared to mine which had a 3 screw trans filet and round selenoid .
will this work.
I also have serial number off trans if anyone knows a site or how to look it up!

 

So i believe after hours of searching it is a 46re form 2000-2002. I think it should bolt in correct?
also my valve body is just re built could I swap my 1997 46 re valve body to this year trans

 

It may bolt in, but, the electronics will be wrong, and it won't have the provision for mounting the t-case shifter on the trans either.

 

So your saying this trans won’t work on my 97?

Check the case, if it doesn't have the mounting bosses for the t-case shifter.... nope, won't work. The electronics can be changed, if the bosses are there.

 

Yes I am a rookie trying to complete this.
sorry I’m a little close fused by the t case shifter statement and I hope you can’t be patient with me and help explain so j get it or I can tkae come pictures. I wound hate to re build it drop mine and it be wrong. Boy would I have mess them

 

Hey you! if I post some picture tomorrow of it can you help me out and let me if I should be good thanks

If he had it in a 97 4x4 it should work correct?

Hey no mater what the outcome I appreciate your help and opinion.

 

If you can post some pics of the trans, we can tell ya if it'll work or not. If he already had it in a 97, then chances are good it will bolt right into yours as well.

 

Hey you. Hopefully you get on line to check these out…thanks bud for all the help
