transmission which auto would you choose????

Ok I found a transer case and trans. the trans is a 47 re. Now I have to decide what to do again. I was talking to ats about there valve bodies and maybe going electric with the 47 re. I am not sure if this is the way to go.

I guess I am going to start from scratch and think about this again.

I guess I am wondering is the electrics worth the hassel on the 47re or try to find a 47 rh. The upgrade to the electrics using the ats valve body and the standalone to make it do what ever I want it to do will run me $1600. I am just wondering if I do electric is it worth it or just buy the 47re and convert it to the rh?

What do you think? What would you do?

Right now I still have my 4l80e in but everyone said this is not the way to go behind a cummins.

Thanks Joe

I've got a 94 with a 47rh , thought about this up grade , if some parts can be added to go from elec - hydr , or a hole nother trans , one thing I thought of is if I add elec/47re than would maybe need new computer , wiring harness & more sensors , so no answers , just more ???s .

Yea I did hear this but I do know someone that lives near where alot of conversions are done. They just can't keep from thrashing the trans...
I just wish there was a magical answer but there is not.
