===A727 (36RH/37RH)===
The A466 was replaced in 1962 with the ''A727'' (later renamed ''36RH'' and ''37RH''), with a one-piece [[aluminum]] case to reduce weight by about {{convert|60|lb|kg|abbr=on}}. This was initially referred to in consumer-oriented publications as the "TorqueFlite 8" to differentiate it from the A904. The A727 incorporated a parking pawl, with the sole exception of the 1962 Chrysler and Dodge 880 version, which had an extension-mounted drum brake. Compared to the early cast-iron transmissions, many and various internal improvements were featured, and it used a {{convert|10.75|in|cm|abbr=on}} or {{convert|11.75|in|cm|abbr=on}} torque converter. The heavier-duty A727 Torqueflites became — and remain — wildly popular for [[drag racing]], [[off roading]], and [[monster truck]] applications because of their controllability, reliability, ease/cheapness of repair, and brute strength.  Note there are unique bellhousing bolt patterns for the small block "A" and big block "B" engine versions of this transmission and for [[AMC and Jeep_transmissions#Chrysler/TorqueCommand|American Motors (AMC) and Jeep]] applications.

====A518 (46RH/46RE)====
The ''A518'', later renamed ''46RH'' (hydraulic controlled governor pressure) and ''46RE'' (electronic controlled governor pressure), is an A727 derivative with [[Overdrive (mechanics)|overdrive]], in the A500 ilk.  Starting in 1990, it was used in some trucks and vans. The overdrive fourth gear ratio is 0.69:1.

====A618 (47RH/47RE/48RE)====
The ''A618'', later renamed ''47RE'' (electronically controlled governor pressure) is a heavier-duty version of A518, also known as the 46RE (which also has electronically controlled governor pressure, versus the earlier RH version, which was hydraulically controlled). It was used in trucks and vans starting in the mid-1990s. While currently used with some internal changes such as the move from aluminum to steel planetary carriers and an increase in the number of clutch plates when coupled to the 5.9&nbsp;L Cummins Turbo-Diesel and the 8.0&nbsp;L V-10 applications, it is a 727 with overdrive and more robust internal parts. It has an input torque rating of {{convert|450|lbft|Nm|0|abbr=on}}. The ''48RE'' is an electronically governed, ECU-controlled, four-speed heavy-duty overdrive automatic transmission, that is stronger than its predecessor, the 47-series. The 48RE was introduced in 2004 to 3rd gen ram pickups with the 5.9 cummins, or the v10, some 03 and early 04 trucks still were equipped with 47RE units, and then came a 48re which still used a TV cable, and then from 04.5-07 the 48re was fitted with a TTVA motor (transmission throttle valve actuator) which eliminated the need for a mechanical tv cable. 48re units had the highest volume pump out of any of its predecessors, using a 10 lobe design with tighter clearances (.003"-.005") versus the 47REs 11 lobe design for additional holding ability. More volume was on tap to be circulated through the larger cooling circuit. with the higher than ever low end cummins torque, the direct drum was bigger to allow 5 .085" frictions and 5 .084" steels, the forward drum is in fact made bigger (deeper) to make room for the 5th direct friction/steel, the 48s forward clutch frictions switched from a 64 tooth to a 93 tooth inner spline count, 6 pinion, steel planets were introduced with more robust thrust washers backing them, the overdrive housing was slightly enlarged in the parking mechanism areas to allow the bigger parking rod and pawl mechanism. Most importantly the valvebody introduced the ability to have 2nd gear tcc lockup in manual second. A handful of other enhancements, part throttle 3rd gear tcc lockup was a big quality of life enhancement. 

The base design from the original Torqueflite remains essentially unchanged. The addition of a two-speed output shaft (overdrive unit) that is bolted to the back of the three-speed transmission has only two ratios: direct (1:1) and overdrive (.69:1).  While lubrication to the overdrive unit was a challenge early on, this challenge was later overcome with factory improvements or aftermarket valve body kits. The overdrive planetary has six-pinion gears (unlike the five-pinion used with the A518 used with the Cummins turbodiesel), which is often used as an aftermarket replacement for the stock four-pinion planetary used with the lighter duty transmissions.
