Hurry up and install that sucker. She's going to launch like a rocket.

 

Yes it will have a piggy back setup for low vacuum/boost it will be loud like before very soon pics coming of that once done.

 

Ahhh man a little black tape and your golden

 

LOL, I'm thinking the same thing, and then I read your post. Either that or is/are there bulb(s) to pull ?

 

Yeah they will all be highlited you will be in every gear all the time lol

 

Nice, disco light show on my dash board. As long as I can keep the check engine light off, I'm good.

 

The indicator lights are leds and I don't recommend removing them. If you don't want them to illuminate remove the cluster and slip a piece of black paper under the gauge cover and the cluster. It'll block the light from showing.

 

that will be the plan then. To the other guy, no I'd never pull the engine light bulb

 

For those of you wanting to switch from a 545 ATS Diesel has a solution they've already created a conversion package to move to the A518/46rh/46re/47/48re. More information will be posted soon. :thumb::thumb:

 

That is great, pls do post what they have come up with...

 

Yeah that swap cost will be around 4-6k I'm sure mine is still a good deal

 

Is there a link? I couldn't find one.

 

I searched there entire site besides this thread is for the swap not the over priced version of the same thing!

 

All I found for the hemi was the 545rfe. Nothing about the a518..

 

I have an A500 sitting in my shop that I had in a 1991 Dakota that used to be a project of mine. It had a MP shift kit and clutches put in just before I yanked the engine out and its been sitting ever since, around ten years now. I would have to upgrade the thing but I'll bet it would still hold up better than the 545.

 

You might check this out.
Transmissions: Overdrives: A-500 & A-518 Swap
If noth I ngk else you could do the swap using the a500 and if it fails, you can simply swap it with a a518..

The A518 is a cake walk there is some measuring that needs to be made sure of when assembling but that's it. I have potentially three swaps that will be getting done in Florida alone lol let's go boys!

 

potentially three swaps that will be getting done in Florida alone

There could be a possibility of one more added to that list.

Humm... Rebuilt 46rh for $999.99

1990-1995 46RH 2WD TRANSMISSION 5.2L / 5.9L GAS | Shift Rite Transmissions

 

Well a small issue has come up with a 46rh into 4x4. The RH version of the trans is 5" or so longer than the RE version. The RE will bolt in just like the RH 2wd setup with no needed mods at all only issue being there is no standalone controller out for it that I can find yet. So what it's looking like is that a RH will require driveshaft mods to make it work. I am asking around to see what options there are to make an RE length trans work maybe full manual style but we will see how that goes.

 

Pardon the ignorance, but what is the difference betwen the RH and the RE?

 

damn.

 

95' 46rh (hydraulic controls), 96' 46re (electronically control)

 

Yep that! The RE is shifted like our 545 trans and using throttle % and load it dertermines line pressure and shift timing. It is however the same damn trans in there minus the electronics it can be manually shifted. So with that said I am wondering if there is an option to make the thing run full line pressure all the time and just shift it yourself and run the OD and LU like the RH setups. We will see what I dig up on this here soon enough

 

All comes down to management of the speed governor (line ptessure) electronically since the mechanical one is removed.

 

Can a re be converter to a rh?
