Comparison points and tradeoffs
When comparing A518 46RE 47RE 46RH Raybestos Performance Transmission Rebuild Kit 1998-02 Diesel with other Rebuild Kits options, use this source-backed detail as the primary discriminator: Category: Replacement Parts / Transmission & Drive Train / Transmissions & Parts / Rebuild Kits.
Use this second fact to evaluate the tradeoff: Raybestos Stage 1 – Performance frictions are an affordable solution for performance applications that may not require the capacity of the Gen2 Blue Plate Special, but do require a friction plate that can handle the demands that a stock tan or high energy plate cannot. A third point to compare across alternatives is: Stage-1 frictions are not limited to performance, but also enhance heavy duty applications by increasing holding capacity, while being able to withstand higher temperatures associated with towing heavy loads.
Alternative-selection boundary
Choose an alternative when its stated identifiers, application, package, or specifications better match the requirement; no unverified competitor claim is introduced here.
