Manual trans options
Just fishing here but what are some manual transmission options for a v3500 4 x 4. Something heavy duty but would love an overdrive 5th gear. Any recommendations for a good way to go? Thanks:

Re: Manual trans options
A nv4550 will fit your needs but might need a adapter to run your t case.

Re: Manual trans options
I've done my share of miles in a 350 powered truck with an NV3500 with no problems, but its no transmission suited for a 1 ton.
An NV4500 is the choice here. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Manual trans options
Thanks for the responses. I am needing a little top end help but know that a manual shift can help bottom end wheeling ability as well, so I am just fishing what my options might be. I am not a hardcore wheeler but would hate to limit myself with a poor choice.
