2013 Used Ram Transmissions For Sale
29 verified 2013 Ram transmissions are on the shelf — 25 automatics and 4 manuals.

Browse 2013 Ram Transmissions by Model
Pick your 2013 Ram model to see exact fitments in stock. Two things separate 2013 listings that otherwise read identically: on the 5.7L 4X4, the thread size of the cooler line fitting, and on the 6.7L 3500, which company built the gearbox. Neither is visible from the driver’s seat. Text us your VIN and a specialist confirms the match.
2013 Truck 3500 Series
14 units — almost half of the 2013 stock, and the line that carries this year's two hardest questions. On the 6.7L, the same 3500 was cataloged with a gearbox built by either Aisin Seiki (AS69RC) or Chrysler (Model 68RFE), and we hold the 6.7L Pickup in both makes, 4X2 and 4X4. On the 5.7L, Pickup and Chassis Cab are cataloged apart — and the 4X4 versions of each split again by cooler line fitting, 1/2" or 3/4" threaded. Two of the 3500 units are manuals: MT 4X2 and MT 4X4, both 6.7L.
2013 Truck 1500 Series
8 units, every one an automatic. This is the year the eight-speed lands: the 3.6L is stocked as a 4X4 (8 Speed), and the 5.7L is built as both a 6 Speed and an 8 Speed in each drivetrain — so a 5.7L 4X4 is still two different transmissions until you count the gears. The 4.7L is here too, 4X2 and 4X4, both 6 Speed. One quirk worth knowing: the 4X2 3.6L is cataloged with no gear count at all, while its 4X4 twin names the 8 Speed.
2013 Truck 2500 Series
7 units. The automatics name their gearbox code where it matters — 68RFE behind the 6.7L, 4X2 and 4X4 — while the 5.7L is listed as a plain 4X2 AT plus two 4X4 units that are identical on paper except for the cooler line fitting thread, 1/2" against 3/4". Two 2500s are manuals: MT 4X2 (6.7L) and MT 4X4 (6.7L).
Why Buy a 2013 Ram Transmission from Auto Power Source
Every 2013 Ram transmission on this page was recovered from a low-mileage donor truck, cataloged against its donor VIN, and held in our climate-controlled warehouse pending sale. Nothing ships until it has cleared our six-step inspection — VIN-matching, shift testing, a road-and-shift-quality check, full visual inspection, multi-angle photography, and palletized freight.
Our ASE-certified technicians shift-test every gear and confirm clean engagement under load before a 2013 Ram transmission is cleared for sale. You pay a fraction of dealer-new pricing for the same Ram engineering, ship free on a heavy-duty pallet anywhere in the continental U.S., and get up to a 3-year warranty plus 30-day money-back. What makes 2013 worth slowing down for is that it is a transition year — the eight-speed arriving alongside the six on the same 5.7L, the 4.7L still in the lineup, and the heavy-duty 6.7L split between two gearbox manufacturers. Text your VIN and we will confirm.

2013 Ram Transmission Buying Guide
-
On a 5.7L 4X4, check the cooler line fitting thread. This is the 2013 mistake, and it is a small one with a big bill attached. Six units in this collection — the 2500 4X4, the 3500 4X4 Pickup and the 3500 4X4 Chassis Cab — are each cataloged twice, and the only thing separating the pair is whether the transmission takes a 1/2" or a 3/4" threaded cooler line fitting. Same year, same displacement, same drivetrain, same body. Order on the spec sheet alone and you have even odds of a case your existing cooler lines will not thread into.
-
On a 6.7L 3500, find out who built your gearbox. Ram cataloged the 2013 3500 with either an Aisin Seiki AS69RC or a Chrysler-built 68RFE behind the same 6.7L, and our 2013 stock holds the Pickup in both makes and both drivetrains. Same year, same fuel, same truck, different transmission. Nothing on the outside announces which one is bolted in — the build record does.
-
On a 5.7L 1500, count the gears before anything else. 2013 is the changeover year. The 5.7L Truck 1500 Series was built as a 6 Speed and as an 8 Speed, in both 4X2 and 4X4, and our listings separate them by gear count and nothing else. The 3.6L 4X4 is an 8 Speed; the 4.7L stayed on the 6 Speed. Displacement alone will never narrow a 2013 1500 order down.
-
Check whether yours is a manual — 2013 has four of them. Most of the 2013 stock is automatic, but not all of it: 25 automatics and 4 manuals. The 3500 is stocked as MT 4X2 and MT 4X4, and the 2500 matches it with an MT 4X2 and an MT 4X4 — all four on the 6.7L. Manual units share nothing with their AT siblings, so confirm the pedal count before you compare prices.
-
Separate Pickup from Chassis Cab on the 3500. The 2013 3500 Pickup and Chassis Cab are cataloged apart even where they share the 5.7L and the drivetrain, because the mounting and driveline behind the cab are not the same conversation. Read the body style off the door-jamb sticker rather than off the bed you can see — a Chassis Cab that has been fitted with a service body still catalogs as a Chassis Cab.
Our ASE-certified technicians verify every one of these points against your VIN before any transmission ships.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the warranty on a 2013 Ram transmission?
Up to 3 years, depending on the specific unit. The exact warranty term is listed on each product page.
What does shift-tested mean?
ASE-certified technicians run the unit through every gear and verify clean engagement and shift quality under load before the transmission is cleared for sale.
How long until delivery?
Prep and ship time is 3-5 business days. Transit time is 2-3 business days via freight carrier after dispatch.
Can I see photos before I buy?
Yes. Multi-angle photos of the actual unit are sent before payment.
Do I need my VIN?
Yes. Three 2013 questions cannot be answered by walking around the truck: whether your 5.7L 4X4 takes the 1/2" or the 3/4" threaded cooler line fitting, whether your 6.7L 3500 gearbox was built by Aisin Seiki or by Chrysler, and — on the 5.7L 1500 — whether you have the 6 Speed or the 8 Speed. Your VIN settles all three.
What if I do not approve the photos?
Every dollar back — no restocking fees, no return freight charges.
Why is this cheaper than the dealer?
It is the same Ram-engineered OEM unit, recovered from a low-mileage donor vehicle rather than built new. You skip the new-part markup and still get VIN-matching, shift testing and up to a 3-year warranty.
When can I reach your team?

Our 6-Step Inspection & Shipping Process
Every 2013 Ram transmission we ship has been through these six steps:
1. VIN-MatchingWe match the donor VIN to your VIN to confirm the body style, displacement, gear count, gearbox manufacturer and cooler line fitting — the five things that decide a 2013 Ram fit.
2. Tested & VerifiedASE-certified technicians shift-test the unit through every gear and verify clean engagement under load.
3. Shift & Road VerificationUnits are run to confirm smooth up- and down-shifts, correct torque-converter lockup and no slip — catches wear static tests miss.
4. Visual InspectionEvery accessible component is inspected: bellhousing, valve body, pan and seals, tailshaft, cooler line ports and sensor harnesses.
5. Photograph & CatalogMulti-angle photos sent to you BEFORE we ship, for your approval.
6. Palletize & ShipStrapped on a heavy-duty wooden pallet, shipped via freight at no charge.
