Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Auto upgrade questions

[skubbernus]

How about upgrading the 47RE with a DTT or ATS valve body and no other changes. Would it be worth it? Will you get firmer shifts? Would it be wise to add 90 HP with just the valve body change?

As I see it, the most common reason for these trans to fail is the low line pressure. The good valvebody's fix that. The second problem with them is the junk torque converter.

If you add 90 hp you will understand what I said about the converter!! You will also risk slipping the front clutch and the converter clutch.

So, the answer is yes, yes, and no. !!

Just my opinion.

Pm me if you want more!
