47rh stand alone controller

[kirklyn]

i have a 93 chevy 1 ton with a 97 12v running a47rh trans. the trans is a 1995. i need a stand alone controller for the transmission. i have the dodge tp sensor and a gm speed sensor in my 241 dld transfer case. i did that with a super short slip yoke elimator from jb conversions so i could run the gm speedomter. i would like the controller to be able to completly run the overdrive and torque converter lockup. thanks for any help!

Here's a couple I found in an unrelated search, hope it helps out. There is a huge price difference that is for sure...

Let us know if either works out or what you finally found and went with.

For the RH all you will need is the OD and the lockup. The 1,2,3 are controlled by the governor pump in the rear of the transmission. Some guys suggest toggle switches. I don't see what you couldn't use 2 ATS lock up controllers for these. I personally think if you installed 2 differential pressure switches and hooked them to TV pressure and Gov Pressure that you could use them to apply lockup and OD.

The easiest way is toggle switches. The next way is to purchase one or two lock-up controllers from (insert favorite vendor here) (DTT etc... ).



By using two you can have one control lock-up and one control overdrive.



If you just buy one then with a little trick wiring you can make one kick both the OD and the lock-up. To do it this way you just have to use some relays and do a little trick wiring. In this way the set-up locks-up and turns on O. D. at the same speed or you can use a time delay relay on one leg and make the one function occur at a set speed and the other occur x seconds (or milliseconds) after the first.



For example set the controller to hit O. D. at 55 mph then . 2 seconds later lock-up would occur.



If you don't want O. D. or Lock-up to occur then you wire in interrupt switches to disable either function, also you could wire in the switches to be three pole and they can force or interrupt lock-up and/or O. D. THen while in the center position they allow the controller to function in automatic mode.



Hopefully I didn't garble that up to much. I'm running on very little sleep and some of my stuff is running together.

I used a gearvendor o/d controller to do a 518A there is no lockup convertor but it will shift into o/d at 50 mph and shift out at 20 mph. It cost about $185. 00.

I used a pressure switch in the governor pressure port to apply the OD clutch. I did put a three way switch on the dash so I could lock out OD or have the pressure swith engage OD or lock it manualy. I then used a Tow loc from BD to control the Torque lock up. This is program able with a lap top so you can tell it at which speed to lock the convertor. A little cheaper way to do this is to use a Torqueloc to loc up the convertor but you are limited in loc up speed.



Hope this helps
