ATS 309-914-2188 47RE STG 1 PACKAGE FOR 96-98 DODGE RAM 4X4 WITH 5.9L CUMMINS

In 1996, Dodge went from the hydraulic 47RH to the partially electronic 47RE. The 47RE features steel planets as well as an electronic governor pressure solenoid and transducer. In re-designing the 47RE, ATS addressed inherent weaknesses to produce a strong, reliable transmission for towing, daily driving or racing.

The result is a transmission featuring:

• Five Star billet torque converter
• Performance transmission pump
• Modified high performance clutch packs/bands and steels
• Valve body built around reliability and increased transmission life

The modification process began with the torque converter. Instead of a stamped converter with a single lock-up clutch, the ATS Stage 1 47RE comes with our patented Five-Star torque converter. Utilizing a billet 12 bolt cover, five square tab lock-up clutches, a billet stator and other modifications, this converter is designed for heavy loads, years of reliability and brute power.

The goal is to efficiently transfer your 12 or 24V Cummins power through the converter into the transmission. In order to handle the increased efficiency of the converter, we addressed the 47RE from bellhousing to tailshaft. The transmission's pump is modified to progressive raise line pressure, above the factory settings, to provide clamping force to the clutch packs. High-performance clutch packs are then added.

Pressure plates are precisely machined to add 1 more forward and 1 more direct clutch. High performance bands, billet band strut, billet accumulator piston, and heavy duty overdrive bearings strengthen the clutch pack/band assembly.

Next is the valve body. Dodge 47RE transmissions can be plagued by sticking throttle valve issues. The valve controls shift timing and fluid flow to the clutch packs. When the valve sticks, there can be a no up-shift condition. In time, this can wear on the clutch packs and internals to hasten the transmission's life. ATS machines the bore to accept a Teflon sleeve, this ensures precise movement and control of the valve. In addition, the valve body is modified to circulate fluid in park, reverse and neutral, capable of locking the torque converter in any forward gear, and raising line pressure vs. stock.

The Stage 1 (as well as all ATS Transmission Packages) comes standard with the ATS Deep Pan. Featuring a finned design to dissipate heat, and adding five quarts of fluid vs. stock, the pan helps keep the transmission running cool. The ATS 47RE Stage 1 is designed for trucks with stock to mild power increases, light towing and daily driving. All ATS transmission packages come backed with a 5 year/500,000 mile warranty.

The ATS 309-914-2188 47RE Stage 1 Package is specially designed for 4WD 1996-1998 Cummins 5.9L 12V trucks, providing a significant upgrade from the stock transmission. With Dodge transitioning to the partially electronic 47RE in 1996, ATS focused on addressing weaknesses and enhancing performance to create a reliable transmission for various driving needs.

This transmission package includes a Five Star billet torque converter, performance transmission pump, modified high-performance clutch packs/bands, and a valve body designed for improved reliability and extended transmission life. The innovative Five-Star torque converter features a billet 12 bolt cover, five square tab lock-up clutches, and a billet stator, ensuring durability and power delivery for heavy loads and long-lasting performance.

ATS has meticulously modified key components of the 47RE transmission, from the torque converter to the valve body, to optimize power transfer efficiency. By increasing line pressure and adding high-performance clutch packs, the transmission is equipped to handle the enhanced torque output of your Cummins engine. The valve body modifications, including a Teflon sleeve for precise control and fluid circulation enhancements, aim to prevent issues like sticking throttle valves that can impact shift timing and longevity.

To further support the upgraded transmission, the ATS Stage 1 package comes with the ATS Deep Pan, featuring a finned design for heat dissipation and increased fluid capacity to keep the transmission cool during heavy use. Designed for trucks with stock to mild power increases, light towing, and daily driving, the ATS 47RE Stage 1 package is built to deliver reliable performance. Backed by a 5-year/500,000-mile warranty, this kit provides peace of mind for Cummins-powered Dodge Diesel owners looking to enhance their vehicle's capabilities.
