Less fuel mileage, that's one thing for sure.

If you are going to do a conversion, go with the 47 RH, it gives you the lockup TC. Better mileage!!

Nope, this one is all hydraulic, the only electronics are for the OD and lockup. You can control this via a toggle switch or through a pressure switch.

The automatics have a taller OD ratio than the Getrag. 0.69:1 vs 0.77:1
