We have talked about fluids for three different transmissions, none of which were the original transmission in question. There are synchronizer differences between Mike’s NV4500 and your NV5600 that d

OK. Just got off the phone with Cody at Super Stick Transmissions. This is what I gathered from speaking with him. He prefers Red Line MTL especially for cold climates. https://www.red

Amosoil synchromesh or Penzoil synchromesh for the NV-5600... that’s it. Don’t experiment with a GL-4 in a NV5600.. there are those who have and aren’t happy with the results or damage.
Hi I have this most wonderful transmission in my truck. I'm trying to learn more about it and this is the best place for that!!!
For starters, the truck has just under 100k miles on it.
1) FLUID TYPE: What fluid is best to use (The tag is saying Texaco STF 1874 Chrysler P/N 04874464)
2) FLUID TYPE: How much Fluid does it hold?
3) FLUID : Is there an additive that is advisable?
4) TRANSMISSION COOLER: Is there some sort of manual transmission cooler add-on for the trans that would assist in extending the life of the unit? I understand there were few of these made and the company that made them is out of business. Therefor my goal is to make it last as long as humanly possible.
5) How many miles can one expect a clutch to last on the NV5600? I know the answer is somewhat about how it was driven, but let's say worst and best case scenario so I have some idea.
6) The shifting feels a bit vague to me (not nearly as vague as a Porsche 914, which is fun) but still. I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to replace some high wear parts in the shifter or linkage assembly or if that's just how this system is. Don't get me wrong, I'm loving it!!!!! Call me silly I actually like a vehicle that requires more skills to drive that your average driver typically possesses!!! I have a reputation for driving a manual transmission in a way that makes it last beyond it's expected shelf life. As some of you know, it's all in the feel.
Thanks in advance for spilling a small slice of your vast experience and wisdom on me as this awesome group always does.
