Is it worth it to switch out a 47re myself over what I would spend to have the shop that built the new one do it for as part of the "package"?

The new unit is dyno tested before it leaves their shop regardless.

Thanks

I was quoted $500 labor to pull mine and put it back with a new goerend converter. I am also thinking I can do it myself, just a bunch of rachet tie towns holding it to the frame should work right?

 

My brother and i did my HTS on jack stands. Pretty strait forward, just a fair amount of wrenching. Took about 8 hours from driving it in to driving it out, and that includes lunch. It could have been done faster, but as usual there were a few snags ( the dipstick tube gave me fits!)

 

shop napa for a trans jack or maybe an adapter to put on a floor jack make it much safer and faster than ratchet straps to the frame. jack will be worth buyin over risking the fingers

 

I bought a Harbor Fright Trans jack and did it myself, worked great. When you remove the cross brace move it up then back.

I took a good look at my 47RH today, It looks tiny compaired to my old Allison, I have also helped a friend swap his NV4500 to a 6 speed- hope removeing the 47RH is easier than that was
