ATS 309-944-2188 47RE STG 4 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.
47RE Stage 4 Package, 1996-Early 1998 Dodge 4WD Features:

• 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 Co-Pilot Lockup Controller
• ATS billet flex plate

The modification process began with the torque converter. Instead of a stamped converter with a single lock-up clutch, the ATS Stage 4 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 4 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 4 (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 4 is designed for trucks with stock to extreme 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 added strength at power levels above 450 hp, the ATS billet flex plate is included on the Stage 4. The flex plate is first hard part in the transfer of power from the motor to the torque converter/transmission. As more power over stock is added, the OEM flex plate fails to hold and eventually cracks or breaks. This means the loss of all motion in the vehicle. ATS billet flex plate features a stronger material than stock, precisely machined surface for a perfect fit, and the peace of mind needed to handle power and towing weight.

For moderate to extreme power applications, heavy towing or competition use, call ATS to discuss which transmission package would fit your application. All ATS transmission packages come backed with a 5 year / 500,000 mile warranty.

The ATS 309-944-2188 47RE Stage 4 Package for 4WD 1996-1998 Cummins 5.9L 12V trucks is engineered to take your transmission performance to the next level. Featuring a range of upgrades and modifications, this package is designed to meet the demands of towing, daily driving, and even racing enthusiasts.

Starting with the Five Star billet torque converter, the Stage 4 package includes a performance transmission pump, modified high-performance clutch packs, and bands, as well as a valve body focused on reliability and extended transmission life. The ATS billet 300M input shaft and forward hub ensure the transmission can handle increased power outputs and torque.

One of the standout features of the ATS Stage 4 package is the Co-Pilot Lockup Controller, which allows for precise control over torque converter lockup based on vehicle speed. This feature not only enhances performance but also contributes to improved fuel efficiency and reduced transmission temperatures.

The included ATS billet flex plate adds an extra layer of durability and reliability, crucial for power levels exceeding 450 hp. This ensures that the transfer of power from the engine to the transmission is seamless and dependable under various driving conditions.

Furthermore, the Stage 4 package comes equipped with the ATS Deep Pan, designed to dissipate heat effectively and maintain optimal transmission fluid levels for enhanced performance. The added ATS Commander Lockup Controller offers in-cab adjustability, giving users the flexibility to tailor lockup settings to suit their driving preferences.

Backed by a 5-year / 500,000-mile warranty, the ATS 309-944-2188 47RE Stage 4 Package is a premium transmission solution for those seeking reliable performance under demanding conditions. Whether you're looking to enhance your towing capabilities, daily driving experience, or take your truck to the next level on the track, this package provides the durability and power you need.
