Valve body

[volkswagon]

Who makes the best valve body for a 47re? I'd like something with 2nd gear lock-up. I noticed that there's a major price diff between BD and ATS (with BD being substantially more) so I'm wondering which to go with when the time comes. Or maybe a different brand, depending on what you all think.

1st- Dave Goerend transmission 2nd-SunCoast are my 2 picks.

BD is ok, but i would avoid ATS. i have heard of alot of issues when it cmes to ATS. i would say anything from the top 3 which is DTT/Goerend/Suncoast.But there is also Garmon, and PFI and Revmax. Personally i gave up on the shift kit and just got a built auto but that is a personal decision.But i have heard nothing but good stuff from the vendors listed above, and i personally have a DTT trans.EDIT: if you tell the vendors i know Goerend and DTT will drill you out valve bodies that have 2nd gear lock up.

Goerand, Garmon and DTT - probably that order

Mine is Suncoast with special tweaking done by Chris at Relenless diesel when he built the rest of the tranny. I live it. He's done alot for Texas guys. From mildly modified to 11 second monsters --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?jfsdh4 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
