Visit Geno's Garage for Truck accessories.

      The NV3500 is a medium duty, 5-speed, constant mesh, fully synchronized manual transmission. The NV3500 is used with 3.9L and 5.2L engines and is available in 2WD and 4WD configurations.
      The transmission gear case consists of two aluminum housings. The clutch housing is not a removable component. It is an integral part of the transmission front housing.
      A combination of roller and ball bearings are used to support the transmission shafts in the two housings. The transmission gears all rotate on caged type needle bearings. A roller bearing is used between the input and output shafts.
      The NV3500 has a single shaft shift mechanism with all three shift forks mounted on the shaft. The shaft is supported in the front and rear housings by bushings and one linear ball bearing. Internal components consist of the forks, shaft, shift lever socket, and detent components.
       The transmission is disassembled and serviced by unbolting and splitting the case into a front half and a back half.
