nv-5600 PICTURES

[Texas Diesel]

I took some shots of a dead NV-5600 showing the size of this monster. BTW, ALL the roller bearings were Timken USA.

Email them to me at -- email address removed -- and I'll put them on my web site and then you can link to them in the message.



Look at those avtars...



Your camera does a very nice job. Good sharpness, exposure, and color.

 

[Texas Diesel]

klenger, you should have them now

 

[Texas Diesel]

Thanks Klenger, this is much easier having them on your site. They better look nice, that camera cost enough

 

[Mundgyver]

Soooooooo, what happened to this little piggy to get it this way???

 

[Texas Diesel]

I was told his 3rd gear synchro died.

 

[Mundgyver]

I gather this is not under warranty??

 

[Texas Diesel]

definately warranty, DC authorized a replacement transmission instead of trying to fix that mess.

 

[Mundgyver]

Oh I feel better. Warranty is good So how many miles did he have and is the little rascal boosted.

 

[Texas Diesel]

23,000, you could see where the lining wore off the synchro. The synchro material apprears to be a sintered metal of some sort. It is actually pretty thick. He said it failed due to excessive end play that wore out the lining.

 

[Mundgyver]

I make the assumption that it had it's original oil in it?? I've got 37,000 on mine and hate seeing one like this go. Makes me worry a bit.

 

[Texas Diesel]

Dont know it's maintenance history. From looking at the internals it seems to me the only way to kill one would be to set it up wrong in the beginning, it uses a myriad of shims to set preload, end play, etc. It is very strong looking, but it's weak link seems to be synchros and I saw one bushing that was scuffed, I think you can see it in one of the pictures. I'm glad I installed a filter on mine. That should catch the small abrasives.

 

[Mundgyver]

Filter??? Who, Where and How???

 

[Red360]

Filter

Call Geno's. They have a filter setup which replaces the (pass) PTO cover on the transmission. I also added one of those super strenght magnets inside the filter.

 

[Mundgyver]

Hmmmmmmmmm Got to get one of them. Thank you for the info

 

[Texas Diesel]

They are $29 from Genos. Dont do what I did and follow the installation instructions. Throw the suppled paper and cork gaskets in the trash and use silicone instead. Install it on the passenger side, I've been told there is a magnet on the driver side. I added a magnet inside the PTO filter just like Red360 did.

sorry i dont have pictures to boast, but my transmission at 12,xxxmiles developed a crack. so i took it in and the dealer pulled it out and started tearing into it.



after pulling well over $3000 worth of broken parts out they found a 7mm socket in the bottom of the case.



THATS RIGHT, A SOCKET... ... it must have gotten dropped in at the NV plant, they are ready to bolt in when DC gets them.



as it turned out, they put a new transmission in and sent the SOCKET in as evidence.



I wanted it as a momento.
