Installation Tips: You will need to order conversion kit NV5600-4WD 1998-2000 and at least the 05-073SPFT-1 Clutch Kit Assembly.



A wide cross-member must be used in all NV5600 conversion applications. The vehicles must be visually inspected for the 11" wide cross-member. If your vehicle is not equipped with the wide cross-member, please be certain your vehicle falls within the 1998 and later category. The wide cross-member is available order part number CK5600-11.



The standard rear mounts currently in your vehicle is the proper mounts for this conversion. The mount is Dodge part number 52019641 and 5202051AA.



The reverse switch wiring must be lengthened approximatel 30 inches, the necessary extention is provided in our kit.



The shift linkage to the transfer case must be lengthened. The correct linkage is included in our kit.



No speedometer modifications are necessary as the 1998 and later Dodge 4wd vehicles use a differential speedometer, and converting to our NV5600 six-speed transmission will not affect the current speedometer readings.



Conversion to the NV5600 requires a new shift stick, shift knob and shift pattern insert these are included in our kit.



Our kit includes the proper transmission mounting plate to crossmember support bracket, this "no hassle" custom plate places your current driveline at the proper angle and requires no dirveline adjustments. Driveline length modifications are required on the 4wd NV5600 conversions. The rear shaft must be shortened about 5 1/2", and the front shaft must be lengthened about 5 1/2". A measurement must be made for each vehicle after the transmission/transfer case are mounted in final location, as each vehicle may vary due to wheel base lengths. We can assist you with shortening, lengthening and high speed balancing your driveline, you purchase our kit and for $100. 00 per drivelines plus return shipping we will inspect and perform shortening and high speed balancing for you, we will turn your shafts around with in one day of receipt.





We recommend that you use only synthetic oil, GLS5 Rated 10W30 5 quarts. Make sure that unit is full, double check.



To mount your new NV5600 transmission you will need to purchase a new clutch assembly kit (see above table for horsepower and torque options) allowing you to use your existing flywheel and clutch activation hardware. Our high performance clutches take about the same amount of pressure as the stock units to activate. Be sure to resurface the flywheel any time you install a new clutch.



The conversion with the installation of the new clutch assembly should take 8 hours for a skilled mechanic.
