ATS 309-932-2188 47RE STG 3 PACKAGE FOR 96-98 DODGE RAM 2WD 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
• ATS Lockup Controller

The modification process began with the torque converter. Instead of a stamped converter with a single lock-up clutch, the ATS Stage 3 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 3 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 3 (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 3 is designed for trucks with stock to moderate power increases, light and heavy towing and daily driving.

In addition, we include the ATS Commander Lock-Up Controller on this package. This controller allows the user to base lock-up on vehicle speed. Torque converter lock-up can be moved to 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear or overdrive and can be changed at any time. Our controller features in-cab adjustability, so settings can be changed with the push of a button. Every time the vehicle reaches the set speed, the converter locks. The benefit of early lock-up is reduced transmission temperatures, quicker acceleration and better fuel economy. The ATS Commander Lock-Up Controller will also synchronize lock-up with an exhaust brake, for additional braking force.

For moderate to extreme power applications, heavy towing or competition. All ATS transmission packages come backed with a 5 year / 500,000 mile warranty.
1996-Early 1998 Dodge Ram 2WD w/ 12V 5.9L Cummins, Stage 3 Auto Trans Package Includes:

• ATS Built 47-RE Auto Trans
• ATS 5 Star Viskus Clutch Drive Torque Converter
• ATS Extra Deep Transmission Pan
• ATS Billet Input Shaft
• ATS Torque Converter Lock-Up Controller

The ATS 309-932-2188 47RE Stage 3 Package 2WD for 1996-1998 Cummins 5.9L 12V engines is a high-performance transmission system engineered to deliver exceptional power, reliability, and efficiency. Dodge's switch from the 47RH to the 47RE in 1996 marked a significant shift with the introduction of electronic features. ATS took this opportunity to enhance the transmission, addressing weaknesses and optimizing its performance for various driving needs.

This stage 3 package includes premium components like the Five Star billet torque converter, a modified transmission pump, high-performance clutch packs and bands, and a valve body designed for reliability and extended transmission life. The transmission is further fortified with an ATS billet 300M input shaft and forward hub, along with the innovative ATS Lockup Controller for enhanced control and efficiency.

One of the standout features of this package is the patented Five-Star torque converter, which offers increased durability, reliability, and power transfer capabilities compared to traditional converters. The transmission pump is specially modified to raise line pressure for improved clutch pack engagement, while the high-performance clutch packs and bands ensure robust performance under demanding conditions.

ATS pays meticulous attention to detail throughout the modification process, from the precision machining of pressure plates to the installation of high-quality components such as the billet band strut and accumulator piston. The valve body is also meticulously upgraded to address common issues and to ensure smooth shifting and proper fluid flow.

Moreover, the inclusion of a billet 300M input shaft and forward hub elevates the transmission's power-handling capacity, making it suitable for heavy towing, racing, and daily driving applications. The transmission package also comes with an ATS Deep Pan that aids in heat dissipation and fluid capacity, crucial for maintaining optimal operating temperatures.

Backed by a 5-year/500,000-mile warranty, the 1996-1998 Dodge Ram 2WD 5.9L Cummins Stage 3 Auto Trans Package is ideal for moderate to extreme power needs, heavy towing requirements, and competitive use. With its comprehensive features and robust construction, this ATS transmission package offers unmatched performance and durability for discerning truck owners seeking reliability and efficiency in their vehicles.
