Building Dodge Ram 1500 -
95-2007 46RE / 47RE Automatic Trans-Step by Step DVD

Building the Chrysler / Dodge Ram 4 speed overdrive Automatic Transmission 5
hour twin disc DVD.
The very best and most exhaustive video ever produced on the 46RE / 47RE / 48RE
automatic transmission.
Engine and transmission builder Wayne E Partridge Sr. starts out by stating you
first need to know the end play or clearance of the transmission before you
remove the front pump.
After he finds the end clearance he disassembles the transmission one part at a
time, step-by-step places each part on a long work bench so you can see every
part placed on the bench in the order it was removed from the transmission and
placed in the row.
Each part is shown up close as it's removed and placed in the row.
Each washer, bearing, spacer is shown and also placed on the bench as it came
out and the importance of how it came out and where it came out is explained. He
proves to you by using this step-by-step method of building it is not hard but
you will even enjoy the build.
Mr. Partridge then explains that you check all the clutch drums for their
clearance under the snap ring or between the first steel and clutch disc.
You check the clearance with the manual for your transmission which he shows
what the clearance should be and then explains if the forward / reverse or
direct clutch drum is OK in it present state. He also explains you check all
the clutch drums for clearance before you order new ones.
That way you know what your clearances are so you can either get thicker or
thinner steels or snap rings to adjust to the proper clearance.
Disassembly of front pump and explained and reassembled.
You will watch servos rebuilt, bands replaced and adjusted / lip seal tools,
assembly jelly used, every part and component is shown and explained up close
and in great detail like installing a lip seal on a clutch drum piston, it's
first lubed with Transjel or transmission fluid and you watch him install the
lip or square cut seal on the piston and then watch him install it in the drum
and in the case.
You watch how you place the steels and discs in the drums, after soaking the
discs in transmission fluid for an hour and then with a feeler gauge or a
special checking tool he maid how you check the clearance. You watch him install
bushings and seals and nothing is left out.
Mr. Partridge tells and shows you how you can make tools to tear down drums,
remove retainers, and other tasks that require special tools, like using a small
block of metal with a hole in it and a bolt to remove front pumps rather than
buying a slide hammer for 45 bucks.
You watch him take the valve body apart and show you how to clean and reinstall
all the valves and springs.
He will give you all the torque values and you will watch him torque with a foot
pound wrench and also a inch pound wrench.
After the transmission is completely assembled and the torque converter is
installed, he takes you and the transmission to a dyno shop and you watch it
being run and tested on a real dyno.
You watch the transmission he just built running through all the gears, kickdown,
reverse and then automatic shift through all the gears.
It worked flawlessly.
You will understand what to replace in your transmission and when or where to
get them. Waiting until you have it disassembled with all the clearances is the
key to getting all the right parts and components.
