    5th Gen G56 Swap

    Hey Guys, any idea on the electronic side of things when converting a 2021 5th gen from 68rfe to g56? I just toasted the 68 and buying a 4th gen with a g56 is not an option unfortunately. I know how to mount everything mechanical. Wiring and tuning is what concerns me. Is it do-able? You know...

    Can elevation affect clutch hydraulics?

    Three times since May I have been up at high elevations and noticed that my clutch is failing only to have it return to perfect working order when I return to sea level. At first I thought it was heat related because I was pulling my 8k bumper trailer up the passes and while I’m sure heat is a...

    Anyone have a spare G56 along the Eastern Seaboard?

    I'm under a load of 4 cars delivering in Buffalo, NY and Cincinnati with my route taking me towards GA and the FL panhandle. From there, I am headed back to Maine but I just lost 6th gear. Anyone know who may have a G56 for a '14? Just asking.

    New 2018 3500 G56 Question

    TDR, I picked up my new 2018 3500 4X4 with a G56 transmission last week. I've driven 150 miles on it now and have a few questions. 1. The owner's manual talks about shutting off the engine with the clutch depressed to decrease transmission rattle. How important is this step? I've shut down the...

    Better way to seal a G56

    Hi everyone, first time posting on here. I had a G56 behind a Hemi before I saw the light and bought my 2011 6.7. And I at 53,000 on my 2011 I finally had to convert to a dual disc clutch. Naturally I was expecting to put a CV boot on my shift tower but that Uni-boot that everyone recommends is...

    G56 jumps out of gear coasting downhill with engine brake on...

    And then, we have the transmission "issue". Popping out of gear while coasting downhill in 6th particularly with the engine brake on. This only happens when I am coasting down a hill and only in 6th gear. I can coast down in 5th and never have this. I also accelerate easy or hard in all gears...

    The G56: What is the size of the tool needed ...

    ...for the drain and fill plugs? Anyone know? By the way, has anyone here installed any of the manual transmission coolers offered by Geno's that utilize the PTO openings? If so, how do you like it/them? When using those, is there a provision to install and temperature gauge probe or is there...

    Death Valley in Summer - NOT GOOD! 6-speed troubles...

    Okay, so, I know better but did it anyway. I'd decided to run across Death valley with this load of cars. So after pulling some of these steeper grades grossing 34,000 lbs (at least), I dropped into a low as first gear and topping out at these hills at 5 MPH, saw coolant temps reaching 237...

    Towing Setting Smarty JR with G56

    Curious what everyone with a G56 and a Smarty JR towing is running. I finally got my gauges installed last week, and couldn't resist going to SW2 (what is indicated as TOWING) Timing #2 (which I believe is highest timing. . kinda confusing) and trying it out unloaded. WOW big difference! I...
