Hello,
I have a 99 Ram sport, with a 5.2, auto trans, and 3.55 gears. I am going to do an engine swap and put in the 5.9. I need to find out which trans I have to make sure I get the right torque converter. The parts store I called said that there is an:
A500
A518
A618
A727

Where can I find what trans I have? I tried looking in the glove box, but the person that had the truck before me had drawn on the tag so I was enable to see. I don't have the owners manual or anything to the truck to check. Any help with this would be great.

Thanks,
Travis

i'm not an expert, far from it, but, this may be of help, its only general guide.
i believe that your VIN number is on your drivers door & you may get someone to decode it

Transmissions for the Ram were the lower geared A500/42RH-RE for light duty applications found behind the 3.9 L V6, the A518/46RH-RE for more heavy duty applications found behind the 5.2 L and 5.9 L V8 engines, and the A618/47RH-RE for heavy duty use behind the V10 gasoline and Cummins diesel engines. The 47RH was used in 1994 and 1995 model years, while the 47RE was used from 1996 through 2002. A NV3500 was offered in 1500 Rams and light duty 2500 Rams. A NV4500 was standard in 2500 and 3500 trucks (except the uncommon, light duty 2500 rams). A NV5600 was offered in 2000 Rams and was the only transmission offered behind the High Output diesel in 2001 and 2002.
