IMPORTANT!
Production of the NV5600 transmission is
ended as of January 31, 2005. We can sell new
transmissions only as long as supplies last. So, if you
are thinking of a NV5600 upgrade or replacement, DON'T WAIT!!!!
When they are gone they're gone! TOO LATE, THEY ARE GONE!!
Dodge is replacing the NV5600
with a Brazilian made, aluminum housing G56 Mercedes 6speed
(originally announced as a Getrag). New Venture/MTM lost the contract to
supply Daimler-Chrysler with transmissions. New Venture
itself is a now dissolved partnership between Daimler-Chrysler (DMC)
and GM. The transmission assembly plant in Muncie,
Indiana, is once again part of the GM Powertrain Group and
is known as Manual Transmissions of
Muncie LLC (MTM). The MTM plant has ceased NV4500
transmission production and the NV4500 tooling and inventory has
been sold.
Our supplies of genuine NV4500 New Venture/MTM parts
is getting tight.
At this time, we are sold out of NV4500 transmissions for Dodge
applications and for learlier model GM trucks.
The supply of new NV5600 transmissions is exhausted.
The parts situation for NV5600 transmissions is terrible.
How Dodge and MTM could let this situation develop is beyond our
comprehension. There are reports of 2005 trucks under
warranty waiting for over two months for parts or transmissions.
There does seem to be some indication this situation will
improve during 2007. We really hope someone takes legal
action against Daimler-Chrysler and MTM over this
situation. To have new, late model North American built
trucks with such lousy parts support is a criminal offense. |
