We tear apart a good NV5600! Dodge Ram Cummins Diesel Six Speed

My buddy Isaac has a 2004 Dodge Ram Cummins with an Nv5600 and we decided to tear it apart for a good performance rebuild! This is a great example of a healthy transmission and the condition you can expect without any major symptoms.

I am very impressed with your workmanship and experience in these. If I ever need my 6 speed rebuilt I will have to ship mine your way. Excellent video to see.

[@johnyhefner]

Jeez, who ever would think the inside of a manual transmission was so intricate? Much respect!

[@Bigdliloug48]

Man, you look like you have done this a thousand times. Great Job!. If my trans ever needs work, I will be giving you and Becky a call for sure.

[@ALDAVISON231]

I wish you would make a video on how to rebuild a np 238 dodge ram 6 speed manual transmission

[@nathanhayhurst7597]

Searched up NV5600, landed here. Wasnt until you mentioned Deer Park Diesel that i realized you arent too far from my location. Future customer here! Will call to discuss.

[@longrangegear]

Lookin forward to it!

Greetings: Re: the chront reverse repairs.... probably caused by idiots not knowing proper operation of vehicles and shift procedures. Just a thought. Thx 4 the share. Bsafe.

[@Fun-under-the-hood]

Incredible video dude. When can I send you my trans ha ha.

[@CurtisLandworksVT]

Very interesting video. I have an NV5600 I am swapping into my 98 12v truck. Previous owner of trans said it shifted well in all gears. I opened up the PTO cover to check it out. I found some ferrous metal chips that were about the size of large salt grains. Looking around from the open covers I can't see anything that looked chipped or damaged, it looks good in there. I am planning on running it, and checking back in on it to see if more metal appears. Am I crazy for doing this?

[@redsite001]

How has it been? I just bought one and haven't checked inside yet. It shifts good.

[@CurtisLandworksVT]

@@redsite001 I just installed it last night and dropped the driveshaft off to be shortened this morning, so I don't know yet. Fingers crossed....

[@redsite001]

@@CurtisLandworksVT just saw you replied. How'd it go?? I just got everything removed from my 47re, getting ready to pull it tomorrow. Hopefully next weekend I'll have the 5600 installed.

[@CurtisLandworksVT]

@@redsite001 not too good, grinds badly into third and jumps out of third! I pulled it again and dropped it off to be rebuilt. Oh well, I'll get it working eventually.

[@redsite001]

@@CurtisLandworksVT sounds like the synchronizer was bad and the previous owner just forced it into gear and ground back the teeth on the gear wheel against slider ring and now they're not locking in how it's supposed to. I think that's why it keeps kicking out of gear. I'm sorry to hear that :( once you get it back it will be worth it though!

[@froeschwagens805]

Where are you located and how much do you charge to do a rebuild on these nv5600

[@longrangegear]

Just north of spokane, wa and rebuilds start in the $3k range. Check our website at www.lrgdiesel.com

Greetings: FYI- Ur Mic audio is very low. I suggest a local microphone. Possibly neck, earphone/mic, headset Etc. Thx 4 the share. Bsafe.

[@7xTHORx1]

Will a 20 ton do the job or do I need to find a bigger press?? Thx

[@longrangegear]

A 20 ton may or may not have the power to press the countershaft apart, but the typical 20 tons dont have a wide enough carriage for the gearset to drop into

how mutch $ to get my rebuilt nv5600 ?

[@GateKeeper.888]

I'm getting ready to attempt one of these you said I need to replace 6th gear what company do you recommend me getting my parts from

[@korn111685]

I have two, NV5600. 2001 220k miles 2003 380k miles Both feel fine but what’s the tell tell sign the nv5600 is tired and needs a rebuild? Before it’s too late and it breaks something rare and expensive.

[@longrangegear]

Unfortunately there isn’t a telltale sign if it’s in working order. You can follow one of my older videos regarding inspection and evaluation of your trans when it’s removed but that’s about it unfortunately.

[@ivonivan1169]

What do you think is beefier, nv5600 or s6-750?

[@cavemanjoe79]

I think they’re both really stout transmissions, although I do hear fewer ZF6 transmissions having any issues, besides synchronizers going out. The issues the NV5600 do have could be related to the fact that most people with a Cummins are going to tow heavy more frequently.

[@stevenpittman3676]

What is the part number for the tail housing seal?

[@longrangegear]

4wd seals can be found here torqueking.com/product/10123/qu10123-seal-4x4-rear-output-dodge-nv4500-nv5600-transmission/
