Is there anybody that is running an ATS 618 Stage 2 Package, 1990-93 Dodge 4wd? Im looking for a tranny for my 1st gen dodge and came across this. Im tired of this stock tranny and stock converter

 

Its probly gona be lightyears better then the stocker. but ATS seems to be overated and way to expensive to me. I whip brand new ats trucks all the time here in denver

 

Might think about going with a 47RH out of an 94 or 95 2nd gen. Much better option IMO with the lockup converter.

 

I would just rebuild the 518 I dont know why everyone has so many problems with them I rebuilt mine a year and a half ago and havent had any problems and I pull with it all the time I think its best to find someone who builds transmissions for hotrods also because these trannys are just like a 727 with an overdrive unit attached to the back of it but thats just my opinion.

 

An A618 and a 47RH are the samething


And remember if you want to put a lock-up style trans in you have to use the engine adapter off the trucks that came with lockup. Mod the trans mount, and driveshaft(s).
