Chrysler Transmission: The Case Of The Shiftless 48RE
The truck originally came into the shop with a broken band, which is a common and very cut-and-dried failure on a high-mileage 48RE transmission. The band and other friction lining was replaced and the valve body was cleaned. And, since the 3500 SLT had 240,000 miles on the odometer, the failure-prone electronic governor was replaced as well. Unfortunately, after the rebuilt transmission was installed and road-tested, the 48RE failed to shift out of first gear.
