ATS 309-932-2218 47RE STG 3 PACKAGE FOR 98.5-99 DODGE RAM 2WD WITH 5.9L CUMMINS

The 47RE transmission is the weakest point on a Dodge Cummins truck. Not only do they fail on trucks with minor upgrades, but even trucks in stock form have been known to be too powerful. A heavy duty truck needs parts which can stand up to heavy trailers, stop-and-go commutes to work, or high-horsepower applications.

Thats why ATS modifies the transmission to make it the strongest and most reliable part of your drivetrain. With the many shortcomings of the 47RE, none are more important than the clutch packs. This is what takes the power load and transmits it to the rear wheels.

We increase the clutch count in the Overdrive, and Overdrive Brake clutch packs which allow much higher torque capacity in each gear. Clutch material is also essential which is why we use Borg Warner and Raybestos clutches which has both high torque strength as well as longevity and reliability.

Another important aspect is the hard parts on the transmission. The factory sheet metal strut anchor is replaced with a much stronger billet strut anchor, allowing more precision application of the band. Along with the factory plastic accumulator piston is replaced with a billet unit as well. The apply lever is a 1:3.8 ratio apply arm, which applies the borg warner red lining band.

This band features a performance friction material capable of holding higher power levels. The valve body receives extensive modifications as well. We give the valve body the ability to lock the torque converter in 1st and 2nd gear, circulate transmission fluid in park/reverse/neutral, machine the TV valve passage and install our proprietary TV valve sleeve, and increase line pressure. You can choose between a towing or a racing valve body.

The towing version will deliver smooth, quick, crisp shifts that enhance the drivability and operation of your transmission on the street and attached to a trailer. This is the valve body of choice for a street driven all-purpose truck. The race valve body is our hardcore power build. It is made to sacrifice as little time as possible between shifts, shift hard and fast, and leave nothing behind. It is a very aggressive valve body and a minimum of billet input shaft and flex plate are recommended.

The 47RE Stage 3 Package 2WD for 1998.5-1999 Cummins 5.9L 24V trucks by ATS is the ultimate solution for addressing the inherent weaknesses of the Dodge Cummins transmission system. Plagued by failures under varying conditions, the 47RE transmission is notorious for its inability to withstand the demands of heavy-duty truck applications, making upgrades a necessity to ensure reliability and performance.

ATS has expertly redesigned and reinforced this transmission to transform it into the cornerstone of your drivetrain, capable of tackling the toughest challenges with ease. A focal point of the upgrade lies in the enhancement of clutch packs, specifically in the Overdrive and Overdrive Brake components. By increasing the clutch count in these crucial sections and utilizing top-quality Borg Warner and Raybestos clutches, the torque capacity in each gear is significantly heightened, providing a robust and enduring solution.

Moreover, this package includes essential modifications to the hard parts of the transmission. The replacement of factory components with stronger billet alternatives, such as the strut anchor and accumulator piston, ensures precise application of force within the transmission. The performance-focused design extends to the application lever and a borg warner red lining band, which features a high-friction material capable of handling increased power levels.

In addition to enhance valve body modifications, customers have the choice between a towing or racing valve body, each tailored to specific performance needs. Whether you opt for the smooth and efficient shifts of the towing version or the aggressive, fast-paced gear changes of the racing version, ATS provides a comprehensive upgrade solution to suit your driving requirements.

Included are premium features like the ATS billet input shaft, Commander lock-up controller, and a range of new performance clutch packs and steels to deliver a reliable and powerful driving experience. ATS ensures that every element of the 47RE Stage 3 Package 2WD is meticulously crafted to enhance durability, shift quality, and overall performance, setting a new standard in transmission upgrades for Dodge Cummins trucks.
