i belive you have the 46rh transmission this transmission is a more updated version of the 727 torqueflite. i have the service manual for the 1995 ram which is my truck. i will quote the front and rear adjustment. this should be the same on your 98. front band adjustment; front kickdown band adjusting screw is located on the left side of the tranny case above the manual valve and throttle valve levers. 1 rase vehicle 2 loosen front kickdown band adjusting screw locknut. 3 back locknut off 3-5 turns. be sure adjusting screw turns freely in case. apply lubricant to screw threads if necessary. 4 use a 0-100 inch lb touque wrench to set adjusting screw. a5/16 in.12point socket. or crowfoot wrench will be required to turn adjusting screw. 5 tighten band adjusting screw to 72inch lbs torque. then back off adjusting screw as follows: 2-1/4 turns on 42RH; 2-7/8 turns on 46RH; 1-7/8 turns on the 47RH. 6 hold adjusting screw in position and tighten locknut to 30 ft lbs torque. 7 lower vehicle.
rear band adjustment 1 raise vehicle. 2 remove tranny oil pan and drain fuild. 3 loosen band adjusting screw locknut 5-6 turns. be sure screw turns freely in lever. 4 use an 0-100 in lb torque wrench to tighten adjusting screw. 5 tighten adjusting screw to 72 in lbs torque. then back off band adjusting screw as follows: 4 turns on 42RH; 2 turns on 46RH; 3 turns on 47RH. 6 hold adjusting screw in place and tighten locknut to 25 foot lbs torque. 7 put on new gasket on pan. tighten bolts to 13 ft lbs torque. 8 lower vehicle and refill tranny with ATF plus fluid. hope that helps. i installed a deeper tranny pan fron mag-hytec.com this pan adds 1.5 qts more fluid. always try to keep the heat down good luck [This message has been edited by Marshal Carpenter (edited November 24, 1999).] |

The transmission in your 98 ram is as you stated. 46RE the 4 is four speeds the 6 is the load rating ( 7 being the highest) R is rear wheel drive and E is electronic control.The H (hydraulic control) trans was used in 95 and prior rams. Band adjustment procedure is the same though. |

It's important to use the correct fluid also.Use the Mopar 7176 fluid(also made by Quaker State)This is important for the clutches.
