47rh in c20?
I havent seen anyon e use this transmission in a swap but id like to save 2k and not buy an adapter and controller. If the nv 5 speed fits the 47rh should too correct? I undertsand i will need to get a custom drive line but at the very least it would a cheaper option. Any builds i missed or advice?
I have a 1st gen 12v Thanks!!! |

Re: 47rh in c20?
Lots of information on how to build a 47RH/RE on www.CompetitionDiesel.com user "Big Blue24" has very detailed and picture filled posts.
The 47RH is ideal in a conversion/swap because 1-3 are shifted hydraulically, and you can control TC lock up and over drive by toggle switches. I'm currently trying to find a RH core to build and swap into my 97 Dodge in place of the NV4500, but the RH's are a little harder to find only being used for a couple of years vs the RE's.

Re: 47rh in c20?
Why not just use a 47RE/48RE? The electronics are stupid simple. And as a benefit the PCM will control the Alternator & Grid Heater.
The only major difference between the RH & RE is.... The RH uses a Hydraulic Governor, The RE uses Electronic Governor Solenoid & Governor Pressure feedback Sensor. |

Because the RH doesn't require electronics or a PCM to work so its much cheaper to use.

Dieselwrencher used the 47rh on my 89 GMC suburban. It's been working great. 2 manual switches 1 for overdrive 1 for torque converter.

Re: 47rh in c20?
If you go with a 47rh, here is a really affordable controller I came across on another forum that may be the ticket for controlling these.

Re: 47rh in c20?
A friend of mine turned me on to these, saying that he's used them before and they work well.
