2nd Gear Super Hold Servo Kit

Part No� 22301B-01K Fits 48RE, 46-47RH/RE, A727

Quicker Shifts with Less Leakage

• Easy-to-install servo improves 1-2 & 2-3 shifts

• 16% More apply area for more band holding power

• 15% Less leakage than other designs

Kickdown Band Strut

Part No� 22825-01 Fits 48RE, 46-47RH/RE, A727

Strongest Strut Available

• Extra-thick cross-section for maximum toughness

• Solid, heat-treated steel will not bend or break

like stamped struts

Accumulator Piston Kit

Part No� 22841-04K Fits 48RE, 46-47RH/RE, A727

Eliminate Cross-Leaks Between Circuits

• Rubber D-Rings for superior sealing

• PTFE guide seal prevents case wear from piston contact

• Billet aluminum piston for improved durability

The 2nd gear super hold servo from Sonnax is the largest

and most leak-free servo available. It reduces the need for

aggressive lever ratios, excessively high line pressure and

other radical modications to achieve rmer shifts.

The exclusive servo design features rubber and PTFE

seals that enhance positive sealing and prevent case wear.

The overall result is more holding force in 2nd, rmer

1-2 shifts and 2-3 shifts that become rmer under load.

DODGE PERFORMANCE SHAFT

Heavy Duty Input Shaft

Part No� 22121B-01 Fits 48RE, 47RH/RE

NEWNEW

Improving on the classic Sonnax input shaft,

the longer hub on the Smart-Tech® input shaft

combined with the custom direct piston

holds one extra, OE-thickness direct

friction plate to handle increased

torque capacity.

This kit installs as easily as OE

and is more effective than relying on

thinner steels or part modications.

20% More Direct Clutch Torque Capacity,

No Modifications Required

• Thinner billet aluminum direct piston

• Longer direct (front) clutch hub

• Holds one extra, OE-thickness friction plate

Sonnax heavy duty input shafts for hardworking

Dodge trucks come with durability and

performance features that are second to none.

There are several other aftermarket versions of

this classic Sonnax shaft available, but no one

else in the industry uses the same techniques

or can manufacture the same high-quality input

shaft as Sonnax.

Rigorous lab and in-vehicle testing of the patented,

ultra-strong shaft prove it’s durability you can

Increase Torque & Load Capacity

with Confidence

Stronger materials typically used

for improving weak parts can’t

overcome the OE shaft’s small,

In addition to a materials upgrade, the

Sonnax shaft features a signicantly larger,

29-spline conguration that is based on the OE

manual transmission spline.

* This shaft is for use in 48RE 2003–2006 4WD models with NV271

or NV273 transfer cases (requires transfer case disassembly).

Planetary Thrust Washers

Zero Wear for Zero Problems

• Upgraded material for vastly improved durability

• Does not generate break-in & wear debris

like OE bimetal washers

The OE thrust washers in high-wear locations generate

large amounts of debris and increase endplay as they wear.

Upgrading to PTFE-impregnated washers guarantees durability

and consistency over the life of the transmission.

Piston Retainer Kit

Part No� 22754N-01K Fits 48RE, 46-47RH/RE

Maximize Gear Train Durability

• Prevents loss of lube oil between support & case

• High-quality aluminum alloy resists gauling

• Improved oil delivery at bearing journals

Many OE supports do not seal well against the case, leading to

reduced lube ow to the gear train and consumption of pump

volume. This patented retainer kit features redesigned oil grooves

to enhance journal lubrication and upgraded aluminum for better

wear resistance.

An oversized version of this kit (Part No. 22754N-02K)

is available that allows salvage of a damaged Reverse drum.

Front Servo Piston Cover Kit

Part No� 22827-01 Fits 48RE, 46-47RH/RE, A727

Improve Direct Clutch Durability

• Added O-ring stops direct (front) clutch oil leaks

• Billet aluminum resists wear

No seal between the OE cast piston cover and pin causes bore wear

and direct clutch oil leaks that compromise 2-3 shift and direct clutch

durability. The Sonnax billet piston cover features an O-ring between

the cover and pin to prevent wear and leakage.

Rear Servo Piston

Refined Design Prevents Binding

• Modied seal ridges prevent piston from sticking in case bore

• Billet aluminum won’t crack like OE cast piston

The OE piston can get wedged in the bore, causing bind in Forward.

Intermittent binding leads to bore wear and band damage. The patented

design and material of the Sonnax piston eliminates these concerns for

consistent rear band apply.

Reverse Servo Piston Plug Kit

Fits 48RE, 46-47RH/RE, A727

OE Pressure regulator valve must match '78-later design�

Enhance Converter Charge

& Prevent Drainback Problems

• Improves converter feed/lube oil ow at

critical low RPM & high load conditions

• Redesigned valve prevents uid drainback

& slow engagements

• Helps charge the converter in Park

Under extreme pressure or temperature conditions,

the converter/lube circuit can be restricted by the

PR valve. The practice of drilling a hole between

passages is problematic. This outdated technique

contributes to slow engagements or - if the hole is

improperly drilled - excessive converter pressure

and low line pressure.

The best way to improve oil ow is to replace the

OE valve with the Sonnax line-to-lube PR valve.

This patented part ensures oil ow under extreme

operating conditions and prevents drainback when

the truck is off.

The TV bore wears out easily in 48RE transmissions,

causing much higher rates of poor line pressure rise

and inconsistent shift timing compared to earlier

units. Sonnax valve kits are key to regaining proper

throttle control and preventing future wear.

Throttle Valve Kits

Fit 48RE, 46-47RH/RE, A727

Improve Line Pressure Response

& Shift Timing

• Hardened steel plunger & valve

increase durability, especially in 48REs

• Optional shims & TV spring for custom

TV pressure adjustment & tuning

• Fits all Chrysler RWD models, including

‘05-later units with motorized linkage

Oversized Throttle Valve Kit

Part No� 22771-04K

Fully restores throttle control in bores with

moderate to severe wear. Requires tool kit

F-22771-TL and the VB-FIX reaming xture

to machine the bore oversized.

Heavy Duty Throttle Valve Kit

Part No� 22771-HDK3

Ideal for earlier, wide-open throttle shift points in

new or lightly used valve bodies. The modified

valve reduces gear hunting and the need to back

off the throttle when shifting under heavy load.

An optional balance spring improves throttle

control if the bore shows minimal wear.

Beat the 48RE Shortage with Sonnax

Cores for Chrysler light-to-medium-duty trucks are

scarce and often modied beyond repair. Patent-pending

innovation allows Sonnax to convert plentiful early-model

RE Chrysler cores into premium-quality 48REs.

OE remanufactured valve bodies – while competitively

priced – undergo only minimal restoration. The Sonnax

48RE provides far more value and durability. Each valve

body is carefully refurbished in critical areas to restore

proper function and prevent future wear.

erformance &

rivability

When diesel trucks are modied for either racing or

street use, OE clutch plates slip and just do not hold.

Limited damper capacity further cripples performance.

Upgrading to an aftermarket multi-plate converter is

the only solution.

Sonnax multi-plates rely on unique, top-of-the-line

parts for maximum performance, consistency and

outstanding durability.

• Patented piston/damper assembly absorbs up to

1,250 ft-lbs. of torque. That’s nearly TWICE the

stock capacity of the OE 47RH/RE, 48RE and

68RFE dampers.

• All-new kit components eliminate the rework

and limitations associated with salvaged parts.

OE lockup converters are built with a damper to temper

lockup and shift engagement. By absorbing vibration

and torsional stress, the damper also protects the

transmission shafts and driveline.

For extreme performance applications, an aftermarket

damperless converter may be suitable if the driver is

willing to sacrice drivability and driveline durability.

This is not practical for road-going vehicles.

Sonnax dampered multi-plate kits are powerhouse

upgrades that won’t compromise driving experience.

• Unique Sonnax design delivers the same torque

as a damperless multi-plate.

• Piston/damper assembly controls the extra power

for balanced performance.

“I’ve had really good luck with the

Sonnax dampered multi-plate.

With a solid damper, we were breaking

two to three input shafts a week.

Since we switched to the Sonnax

kit and heavy duty shaft, we haven’t

broken a shaft once.”
