COASTED TO A STOP... STARTED OFF IN FIRST AND still HAD THE LOUD KNOCKING SOUND, KNOCKS THROUGH ALL THE GEARS ACCEPT IN 4TH. BUT YOU CAN STILL HEAR SOME THING NOT RIGHT IN 4TH. TRUCK STILL GOES IN AND OUT OF EVERY GEAR FINE STILL DRIVES FINE SHIFTS FINE,CLUTCH FEELS FINE... . JUST HAS A LOUD ASS KNOCK!!!!!!!!!!!.

MIND YOU THIS IS A VERY LOUD KNOCK, LIKE A HAMMER HITTING METAL.

BUT WHEN THE CLUTCH IS PUSHED IN IT MAKES NO KNOCKING SOUND.

Sounds like you took a tooth off the input shaft or the cluster gear. Don't drive it until you find out for sure what is wrong. Those broken teeth running around in there will just make a bigger mess.

Pull your pto cover off and check for teeth floating around. You can see the input shaft gear to inspect it.

I think DC or somebody ought to give everybody with a 5 spd a refund. I could understand if only trucks with big HP/TQ were trashing these gearboxes - you are your own warranty station - but stock trucks??? Like mine, for instance. Stock power. Towed twice in eight years - well under weight limit. All periodic maintenance done by the book.



Does a week go by without somebody new posting that they have a problem with these things? And the real insult is that, except for the stupid cheez-whiz little nut fix they made available, DC refuses to acknowledge that the problem exists. So that leaves all who have had their NV4500s go south one way or another with the prospect of spending significant $$$ to put something right that was never right in the first place.



Anybody out there ever think of taking these pinheads to small claims court about this? Depending on your local laws the cost of a 5 spd is probably under the small claims limit.



If these were aircraft the FAA would have grounded the fleet years ago.

Don't we all?



When I get around to it I will ditch my fatally flawed NV4500 in favor of the NV5600.
