ATS 309-944-2218 47RE STG 4 PACKAGE FOR 98.5-99 DODGE RAM 4X4 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 ATS 309-944-2218 47RE Stage 4 Package 4WD for the 1998.5-1999 Cummins 5.9L 24V is the ultimate solution to enhance the performance and durability of your Dodge Cummins truck. This transmission package addresses the vulnerabilities of the 47RE transmission, making it the robust backbone of your drivetrain.

One of the key improvements in this package is the enhancement of clutch packs, crucial components responsible for power transmission to the wheels. By increasing the clutch count in the Overdrive and Overdrive Brake clutch packs, we significantly boost the torque capacity in each gear. Utilizing high-quality Borg Warner and Raybestos clutches ensures not only superior torque strength but also exceptional durability.

Moreover, the package includes upgrades to the hard parts of the transmission. The weak factory components are replaced with stronger billet strut anchors and accumulator pistons, providing more precise operation and extended lifespan. The apply lever features a specially designed 1:3.8 ratio apply arm for optimal band application, enabling higher power retention.

Extensive modifications are also made to the valve body, offering enhanced functionality such as torque converter lockup in lower gears, improved fluid circulation, and increased line pressure. Customers can choose between the towing or racing valve body options, each tailored to specific driving needs.

Included in the Stage 4 Package are components like the billet input shaft, billet flex plate, Viskus clutch drive torque converter, and CoPilot torque converter lock-up controller to ensure a comprehensive transmission upgrade. The precision machining, new clutch packs, and upgraded bands result in improved shift quality, firmness, and overall performance.

For owners of 1998.5-Early 1999 Dodge Ram 4WD trucks, this ATS package offers a complete transmission overhaul that transforms your Cummins truck into a high-performance powerhouse.
