About Our Remanufactured G56 Transmission
A remanufactured G56 transmission from us can last for hundreds of thousands of miles, assuming proper maintenance schedules are kept by the new owner. By going with a remanufactured G56 transmission, not only are all the defective parts and components replaced, but every single internal part within the transmission assembly is replaced with brand new or remanufactured components. Then, each individual part is tested thoroughly to make sure it meets every specification set by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) at the factory. Once the condition of the transmission has been confirmed, and it is found to be compatible with your Dodge Ram 2500 or Dodge Ram 3500's powertrain, it is ready to hit the street once again.
If you are looking for a quality remanufactured or rebuilt G56 transmission at an affordable price, then you’ve found the right transmission supplier. Instead of going with a transmission repair or advanced rebuilt G56 Transmission for Dodge Ram 5.9L or 6.7L Diesel trucks, consider going with a remanufactured transmission instead.

G56 Frequently Asked Questions
Is the G56 a good transmission?
Yes, the G56 transmission is a good transmission, even if it has been used. It can withstand a significant amount of power, plenty of torque, and can last for hundreds of thousands of miles if it has been remanufactured appropriately.
How much torque can a G56 handle?
It depends on the vehicle, specifications, and model year. A G56 transmission should be able to handle up to 600 foot-pounds of torque; however, if the engine has been upgraded beyond its original stock specifications, then the torque limit will change. A remanufactured G56 will be able to handle more than a used one.
Which is better, NV5600 or G56?
The G56 transmission was designed to be an upgrade over its predecessor, the NV5600; however, those transmissions are durable. The G56 transmission has slightly tighter gates. The NV5600 does have a higher OD ratio; however, the G56 transmission is durable, generates plenty of power, and can handle heavy loads. The NV5600 also requires oil changes more frequently.
When did Dodge start using G56?
Dodge started using this transmission in 2005 with the Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500, along with a 5.9 liter and 6.7 liter Cummins turbo diesel engine, remaining present in the Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 medium-duty trucks all the way through 2018.
G56 History & Information
Originally manufactured in Brazil by Mercedes-Benz, the Mercedes G56 transmission is a 6-speed manual transmission. It was designed specifically for Dodge Ram 2500 or Dodge Ram 3500 diesel trucks and light pickups. The G56 transmission was designed as a replacement for the NV5600 transmission. Most commonly, this transmission can be found in class 4 and 5 heavy-duty trucks that require a manual transmission. In fact, since 2005 and for nearly 15 years after the G56 manual transmission was the only manual transmission suitable for trucks of that gross weight and gross torque. Additionally, the G56 transmission was the last manual transmission available in a full-size pickup truck. Now, the G56 transmission can be found in a wide variety of American and Import vehicles.
The G56 6-speed manual transmission was recommended by Dodge to use ATF +4 transmission fluid to lubricate the gears within the assembly. However, there has been wide speculation on if that particular transmission fluid is best suited for the G56. Mercedes-Benz recommends switching to 75W or 90W which is a much heavier fluid. In the end, any of those aforementioned fluids will work just fine to lubricate the internals of the transmission properly.
The G56 transmission is considerably lighter than its predecessor, the NV5600, which it replaced in 2005. In addition, the G56 transmission also has a dual-mass flywheel which allows it to shift more smoother. It can also handle significantly more torque; however, the exact amount of torque the G56 transmission can handle depends on the configuration and model year. Some domestic vehicles can handle more torque than other vehicles. As an example, a truck that has been fitted with the 6.7 L Cummins diesel engine and the G56 transmission will transfer significantly less torque than the automatic transmission options source varies depending on the opted gear ratios. Additionally, the G56 transmission is normally fitted to an NP271D (NP271) or NP273D (NP273) transfer case from the factory on 4x4 vehicles. Regardless, always be sure to check your VIN number for compatibility before ordering any part.
