ATS 309-924-2188 47RE STG 2 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
• ATS billet 300M input shaft and forward hub

The modification process began with the torque converter. Instead of a stamped converter with a single lock-up clutch, the ATS Stage 2 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.

On the Stage 2 build, ATS adds a billet 300m input shaft and forward hub. Featuring a two-piece design, the input shaft is designed to withstand greater than stock power, torque converter lock-up sooner than stock, increased towing weight and racing applications. The increased capacity comes from the material itself, which is stronger than the factory input shaft. This is coupled with a precisely engineered shaft, directed at absorbing torsional loads from increased power, and transferring it into the transmission.

The Stage 2 (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 2 is designed for trucks with stock to moderate power increases, light and heavy towing and daily driving. All ATS transmission packages come backed with a 5 year/500,000 mile warranty.

In 1996, Dodge made a significant transition from the hydraulic 47RH to the partially electronic 47RE transmission. The ATS 309-924-2188 47RE Stage 2 Package is specifically designed for 4WD 1996-1998 Cummins 5.9L 12V trucks to deliver enhanced performance and reliability. This transmission package is a game-changer for those seeking a robust transmission for towing, everyday driving, or even racing.

Packed with top-notch features, the ATS Stage 2 47RE includes a high-performance Five Star billet torque converter, a modified transmission pump, upgraded clutch packs, bands, and steels, as well as a valve body optimized for reliability and extended transmission life. One standout component is the ATS billet 300M input shaft and forward hub, which ensures the transmission can handle increased power and torque efficiently.

The ATS Stage 2 package starts with the innovative Five-Star torque converter, offering exceptional durability and power transmission with its unique design and modifications. Transmission pump modifications raise line pressure to provide strong clamping force to the clutch packs, further reinforced by high-performance clutch packs, bands, and other components for increased strength and longevity.

To address potential issues with the valve body, ATS machines the bore to accept a Teflon sleeve, ensuring smooth movement and control for precise shifting. Additionally, the valve body is tweaked for improved fluid circulation and increased line pressure compared to stock settings, ensuring proper torque converter locking and smoother gear engagement.

With the inclusion of the ATS Deep Pan that dissipates heat efficiently, the Stage 2 47RE package is ideal for trucks with stock to moderate power upgrades, accommodating light and heavy towing needs, as well as everyday driving. The package is backed by a solid 5-year/500,000-mile warranty, providing customers with peace of mind in their transmission investment.
