Our W5A580 Transmission Upgrades
A remanufactured and improved torque converter is included with every transmission.
To eliminate the possibility of front seal leaks, vibration, and premature bushing wear, all torque converters are tested for leaks, lock-up, concentricity, and balance.
Every fully remanufactured valve body, with complete system correction and recalibration kit, is tested independently.
All wear-prone valves are restored to stringent specifications and vacuum tested to confirm proper function.
Each remanufactured transmission is hot, cold, load, and simulated road tested using our proprietary CARS (Computer-Aided Road Simulation) dynamometer program.
All remanufactured transmissions are backed by the industry's best, no-hassle nationwide warranty.
W5A580 Frequently Asked Questions
Is the W5A580 a good transmission?
Yes, the W5A580 transmission is reliable and gives people very few problems. The gear ratios are good and spread out, and the transmission is 100% Mercedes-made. It is not a Dodge product. It has been used since 1996, so there is a long history of producing this quality transmission.
What vehicles have a W5A580 transmission?
Some of the vehicles you'll find this transmission in include the 2005 Chrysler 300, 2005 Dodge Magnum, Jeep Liberty, Grand Cherokee, Dodge Challenger, Ram truck, Dodge Charger, and each automatic-transmission SRT8 through 2012. The W5A580 Jeep transmission of choice was used in the 2012 Jeep Wrangler.
How much power can the W5A580 handle?
The W5A580 transmission is a heavy-duty transmission with a 5-speed overdrive automatic transmission system. Since it has a torque converter, it is able to handle up to 600 lb-ft of torque. For those who drive vehicles with 600 horsepower or more, this transmission still allows for lightning-quick shifts.
What type of transmission fluid is for the W5A580?
The W5A580 is a heavy-duty transmission and can be particular about the kind of transmission fluid used. It’s a good idea to use a bottle of LubeGard Red before using AFT+F transmission fluid. This is a full synthetic automatic transmission fluid.
W5A580 History & Information
The transmission W5A580 is a product of Mercedes-Benz. You may also know it by its other names, the NAG1 transmission, and 722.6 transmission. This automatic transmission is electronically controlled at five speeds. It also has a lock-up clutch and torque converter. It’s known as a powerful transmission with strong reliability, and it has been in production since 1996.
The term NAG1 is used to identify the family of transmissions that includes the W5A580. The acronym means:
- New
- Automatic
- Gearbox
- Generation 1
W5A580 also has a meaning, which is:
- W: Transmission that uses a hydraulic torque converter
- 5: 5 forward gears
- A: Automatic
- 580: Maximum input torque capacity in Newton-meters (427 lb-ft of torque)
As for the reliability and durability of this transmission, you can expect this transmission to work well. The gear ratios are spread out, and you can expect the transmission to be reliable over time. W5A580 transmissions are often used in high-performance vehicles, but this sometimes means that drivers push them too far to test their limits. As a heavy-duty overdrive automatic transmission system, there is a risk of the transmission overheating if it’s misused.
There can also be issues with the torque converter not holding as expected, but this is generally a result of a faulty clutch or solenoid. Sometimes, fluid contamination plays a role. This transmission is most commonly found in the 2012-2013 Chrysler 300, 2005-2006 Chrysler Crossfire, 2011-2014 Dodge Challenger, 2012-2014 Dodge Charger, 2011-2013 Dodge Durango, 2007-2010 Dodge Nitro, 2006-2010 Jeep Commander, 2006-2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and 2012-2017 Jeep Wrangler.
Of course, since it is a high-performance transmission, it may be sensitive to the transmission fluid you choose. Transmission shudder is a risk if any water is present, and fine debris may become problematic at times. A good filter helps sort out this issue. Using the right transmission fluid, ATF+4 synthetic transmission fluid is also helpful in reducing the likelihood of problems with the transmission over time.
The W5A580 was commonly mounted to the NV245J, MP3023, MP3010, NV143KA, NV241J, and NP241 rock-trac transfer cases where there was a 4x4 application involved. With the right care, the W5A580 is built to last longer and stay stronger than others. If it fails, a re-manufactured model could be even better, since modifications and upgrades are available.
