Will not fit 4WD RAM 2500 6.4L 6 Speed โ€‹โ€‹

Gasket and spin-on filter fit and are universal and will work with both 2WD and 4WD. But the sump filter only works on 2WD models. The WIX Application Guide recommends this kit, but also doesn't ask what type of transmission the truck has. I believe the correct WIX kit is 58843, not this one. The filter on the left shows the one in this kit. Shown at right is an OEM 4WD filter. The pan will not rotate if the wrong filter is inserted. I had to go to the AutoZone and pay another $21. to finishโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for small homes
Cons
  • Unusable features

Beware of filter throat gasket

New intake manifold gasket won't stay in place and will knock the car over when it starts. I've already dropped the oil pan twice and each time reinstalled the seal with a hammer and nut (absolutely flush) - and still unscrewed it and the pump sucked in air. When I dropped the pan, a gasket was hanging off the filter tube. The old WIX fill didn't do this and honestly I shouldn't have taken it out to replace as instructed. If it works, better leave it alone and don't replace it!

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

2005 Dodge Ram 1500 Automatic/2WD.

Dodge Ram 1500 2005 daily driving 204.XXX miles and now shifts smoothly with no hesitation when stopping. Nine liters (AFT-4) to top it off. I didn't use a rubber seal, Auto Zone has a one minute seal that works great. Be careful not to overtighten the screws, they are tiny and can break. With that and the changed spark plugs I now get 18.5mpg or better driving on the freeway and in some morning traffic jams while driving my kids to school and running errands. That's a lot better than 17.5mpgโ€ฆ

Save Money on Transmission Filters

I've always had good luck with Wix filters and expected the same from them, NO. The primary filter is half plastic and weighs about 1/3 of the factory filter, the radiator secondary return filter is smaller than the factory filter, it's shorter, and the factory filter wrench is dangling from it and I really hope I don't have one. the problem of deleting it later. The new pre-filter gasket is a very thin copy of the factory gasket, and it's almost impossible to sit down without damaging it. Mine

Pros
  • Easy Install
Cons
  • Doubt

looks good to me - Transmission filter and accessories

Package arrived within 24 hours and in good condition. Everything looks as it should, and the cost was several times lower than the prices of competitors. There was a cheaper brand somewhere that was 33% smaller, but I wasn't aware of it and used Felpro pads for a very long time. They don't have anything special, but they work like they should every time. I've never had any quality issues that affected performance, so I really have no reason to switch brands at this point. I like to use a thinโ€ฆ

Don't use this in your car!

If I couldn't give this one any stars I wouldn't. I have a Dodge Ram 1500 and installed both filters while servicing the transmission. The car was fine for a few days, then the problems started. When I parked the car in the driveway, it wouldn't start. It lasted 5 seconds or more and then died. After the truck had warmed up everything was fine, but after an overnight stay and the first start everything worked again. I did a little research and found a thread about a guy having the same issuesโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

Perfect fit for 2005 Dodge Dakota SLT 2WD

I am replacing my transmission pan so it has a drain plug which Dodge didn't put in their original pan. A drain plug makes changing the oil and filter MUCH cleaner and easier. (See tip below if you still have the original pan and want to replace the filter clean) This filter, WIX 58846, is designed for transmissions with a flat pan as shown in the photo. If you have a deep sump you will need WIX 58843. The two filters look the same but if you look at them side by side you will notice that theโ€ฆ
