The NV5600 is a six speed manual transmission built by New Venture. In terms of its uses in the light duty diesel market, it was factory installed as an option in the 2000 through early 2005 model year Rams, replaced in mid-model year 2005 by the G56. Ultimately, the NV5600 is a highly sought after transmission due to its overall integrity and replacement parts availability. The transmission features a 13" flywheel and 1-3/8" input shaft, edging out the NV5600's predecessor the NV4500 by a small margin that featured a 12.25" flywheel and 1-1/4" shaft. For many owners of these models, they will opt to upgrade the clutch with a dual disc that features two discs separated by what is known as a floater plate. The dual disc option inevitably can hold more power in comparison to their single disc counterparts, while being more "driver friendly."
