Default ATS tranny?

Alright guys, im just looking for some imput on ATS's trannys. The tranny im looking at is the stage 2 47RE. I just want something to hold some more power. I really want an nv4500 or nv5600 but i cant afford for my truck to be down very long. Let me know what you guys think, thanks

Their quailty has gone down in that past couple years. I'll give you the VERY short story...

Sent his ATS off to be gone through b4 the warranty was up paid shipping there and back, didnt get the same trans back (different case and everything), lasted half a summer, pulled it out called, they

said it wasnt their fault told him to try new sensors and other things in the VB, didnt work and they said they wouldnt cover it, finally after enough bitching they said they would, had a deal worked out

his parents were taking it to them since they were gonna be out there for THREE weeks and then bring it back with them home, Well after THREE weeks it still hadnt been looked at, called and bitch was put on

a HOT order to get done and out, had to pay shipping back the next week, NOT the same tranny AGAIN (different case), we install it, the trans cooler lines fit like hell, call they say no its ok itll work, put

in 100 doallars worth of amsoil trans fluid, make it one lap around the block 100 dollars was now on the ground, the case was from a NEWER truck so the lines sizes were different, wouldnt cover the fluid

lost, overnighted some adaptors to use on the tranny for the lines.

There you go

I love my DTT. Also like said before, really can't go wrong with Goerend or Suncoast. I talked to Dave Goerend when I was looking for trannys and he was VERY helpful.

Yep Goerend, Suncoast, DTT, and BD are all good tranny's. We are ATS Dealers as well and are in the same boat as Brice
