518?-46rh?-47rh?

Who can tell me what the difference is? I just ordered a new trans filter and gasket for mine. Had to give the dealer the last nine digits of the serial #. He says I have the 518 trans and then as he looks for the filter, the parts manual says I definately have a 46RH. And when we looked farther, The 727 trans for the gas motor lists the exact same part# for filter and gasket.
I know it's not a 727, but what is the difference between a 518 and 46/47RH?
My FSM doesn't even show the differences.

Dealer says:
and now there is an upgrade for the kit. Cork gaskets are n/a and the new kits must be ordered with new bolts. $11.00 for the gasket
$ 5.00 for the filter
$ .60/each bolt X 14 bolts

After-market supplier has complete kit for 999/518/46RH/47RH for $9.01

And I'm using TRANSYN fluid.

Most likely an A518. But I believe they all have the same gaskets and filters. I know Napa's filter set come with 2 or 3 different gaskets depending on your tranny, and just one filter.

Should be the 518 like Tuckerdee said. Usually the box contents are the same as a 727/904 kit. 2 gaskets (one 727, one 904) and the filter. Basically the same shape except the 727 and 518 gasket has a kicked out section in it. Usually cheap around $12-17

The new gasket from Mopar is a really nice rubber/steel insert reusable piece. The new bolts are required due to thickness. I have had mine off twice and reused it with no leaks.
