Ram tranny problems

Basically the front half of the trans is 727 with an overdrive unit on back, and in the back of unit there's a spring with like 600 pounds of preload on it. It's down in the back if you take the od/ tailshaft off it won't fly apart, but just be aware of it being in there, and loaded because it will ruin your day. Sounds like one too many times trying to rock it out of a mud hole or neutral drops killed the forward clutch pack. If you do the trans be sure to inspect the roller clutch for rolled/bent pins, and the planetary carriers for cracks and loose pinions
