About This Product

Are you a looking to rebuild your own transmission and needing some specialty parts to match your application? BD offers a range of rebuild parts kits featuring the same parts we use in our own performance transmissions for the seasoned builder to complete the job. All kits include the basic rebuild parts and gaskets and have the added touches that range from stock HP up to our Stage 4 Master Kit - which is pretty well everything we put in our own transmission rebuilds.
The BD 68RFE ProForce Torque Converter is designed for stock and modified 6.7L Diesels, from 350 to 550 flywheel horsepower, used in street and towing applications, at a great price. Featuring BD's exclusive "Enhanced Stall" performance cast aluminum stator that improves efficiency and durability for low RPM response in stock to higher horsepower applications. The 68RFE ProForce uses a billet forged front cover machined with thicker walls and stronger mounting pads and a 11.625 inch dual-clutch. The turbine fins are furnace-brazed for improved fluid coupling efficiency and new piston damper springs are installed for longevity and durability.

How much horsepower can this Stage 2 68RFE kit handle?

This kit is designed for 6.7L Cummins engines producing between 350 and 550 flywheel horsepower. It is intended for street performance and heavy towing applications, not dedicated competition use. Proper installation and supporting modifications are required to achieve this power level reliably. — The power rating is primarily linked to the included ProForce Torque Converter, which is engineered to handle the increased torque and heat of modified trucks up to 550 hp. Key upgrades supporting this power level include increased clutch counts in critical areas; the kit provides a 17% increase in Over Drive clutches and a 20% increase in Under Drive clutches. Additionally, the use of durable QT100 steel pressure plates prevents the clutch drum distortion and deflection that commonly occurs in higher-power 68RFE builds. To fully and safely utilize the capacity of this kit, especially at the upper end of its power rating, custom transmission tuning is highly recommended to increase line pressure and optimize shift points.

What specific upgrades does this kit include over a stock 68RFE rebuild?

This is not a stock rebuild kit; it addresses the most common 68RFE failure points. It includes upgraded clutches, stronger pressure plates, an improved valve body separator plate, a heavy-duty accumulator plate, and a performance torque converter. It contains the same specialty parts BD uses in its own complete performance transmission builds. — This Stage 2 "Build-It" kit provides the critical components needed to strengthen a 68RFE transmission for improved durability and power handling. It directly addresses factory weaknesses with several key BD-engineered parts: — • QT100 Steel Pressure Plates: These significantly reduce deflection in the clutch drum, allowing for an increased clutch count and preventing coning. • Increased Clutch Capacity: The kit includes a 17% surface area increase in Over Drive clutches and a 20% increase for Under Drive, improving torque holding. • Custom Valve Body Separator Plate: This bonded gasket plate stops common internal cross-leaks and is designed to allow for increased line pressure. • Heavy-Duty Accumulator Plate: A critical upgrade that prevents the common factory issue of accumulator plate blowout under higher pressures. • ProForce Torque Converter: A furnace-brazed, dual-clutch converter with a billet front cover for enhanced strength and fluid coupling.

What makes the ProForce torque converter in this package better than the factory one?

The included BD ProForce Torque Converter features a much stronger billet forged front cover and an enhanced-stall cast aluminum stator. It's designed for improved efficiency, durability, and low-RPM response in modified trucks. The converter uses an 11.625-inch dual-clutch setup. — The ProForce converter is a significant upgrade over the stock unit, built to handle the demands of towing and performance applications up to 550 flywheel horsepower. The most critical improvement is the move from a weak, stamped factory cover to a CNC-machined billet forged steel front cover, which eliminates flex and potential cracking. Inside, BD's exclusive "Enhanced Stall" cast aluminum stator improves fluid dynamics for better low-speed response and torque transfer. For durability, the turbine fins are furnace-brazed to prevent them from bending or breaking under high stress, and new piston damper springs are installed to handle increased shock and load over the long term.

Can I install this 68RFE build-it kit myself at home?

This kit is specifically intended for seasoned builders and professional automotive technicians. Rebuilding an automatic transmission is a complex task that requires specialized tools and extensive knowledge. It is not recommended for a novice or DIY mechanic without prior transmission rebuilding experience. — While the kit contains the necessary performance parts for a Stage 2 build, a successful installation requires tools such as a hydraulic press for drums and pistons, a clutch spring compressor, dial indicators for measuring end play, and specific holding fixtures for the 68RFE. The builder must also be proficient in reading technical manuals, diagnosing component wear, and performing precise measurements and assembly procedures. Incorrect assembly can lead to immediate transmission failure, and this kit assumes a level of expertise beyond that of a typical bolt-on modification.

What's the benefit of the bonded gasket separator plate for the valve body?

The custom bonded gasket valve body separator plate solves two problems at once. It creates a superior seal to stop the internal cross-leaks common in 68RFE valve bodies, and it's designed to handle the higher line pressures needed for increased clutch holding power. — The factory 68RFE separator plate is prone to leaking between fluid passages, which can cause pressure drops, erratic shifting, and premature clutch wear. BD's separator plate features a bonded gasket that provides a much more robust and reliable seal. This prevents fluid from cross-leaking, ensuring hydraulic commands are crisp and pressures are stable. Furthermore, the plate is engineered to allow a builder or tuner to safely increase mainline pressure beyond stock levels. This increased pressure is essential for providing the clamping force needed by the upgraded Over Drive (+17%) and Under Drive (+20%) clutch packs to handle up to 550 hp without slipping.

What are QT100 pressure plates and why are they included?

QT100 is a type of high-strength, quenched, and tempered steel. BD uses this durable material for the new pressure plates in this kit to prevent them from distorting or coning under the high clamping force required in a performance 68RFE build. This is a crucial element for clutch durability and torque capacity. — The stock pressure plates in a 68RFE transmission can flex or "cone" when subjected to increased line pressure and the stress of holding additional horsepower. This distortion leads to uneven clutch wear, heat buildup, and eventual failure of the clutch pack. The BD QT100 pressure plates are significantly more rigid and resistant to this deflection. By maintaining a flat surface, they ensure the upgraded Over Drive and Under Drive clutches apply evenly, maximizing the available surface area and dramatically increasing the clutch pack's torque-holding capacity and lifespan. This upgrade is fundamental to reliably achieving the kit's 550 horsepower rating.
