2006 Dodge Transmission Buying Guide
-
Confirm automatic vs manual. The 2006 Ram, Dakota, and Viper ship in both AT and MT — a 45RFE automatic and an NV-series manual are not interchangeable.
-
Match the transmission code. 42RLE, 45RFE, 545RFE, 48RE (Cummins diesel), and W5A580 all appear in 2006 Dodge — confirm the code, not just the displacement.
-
Specify 4X2 vs 4X4 (and RWD vs AWD). Tailshaft, mounts, and accessory layout differ between drivetrains on the Ram, Durango, Dakota, and Magnum.
-
Check wire-connector and sales-ID variants. 2006 Durango/Dakota 42RLE units come in 3-plug and 4-plug versions (Sales ID DG6 vs DGV) — the wrong connector will not plug in.
-
Always run the donor VIN if available. We provide it on request for any transmission in our inventory to verify mileage and history.
Our ASE-certified technicians verify every one of these points against your VIN before any transmission ships.
