Where is a reliable place to get a reman?

You'd think them SOB's were gold plated. I'll agree, I loved mine and would have one again, but $4K....for a box of manually shifting gears? Holy crap!
What is the difference between the D-1 and D-2? I didn't see anything in the description. Just curious.

I love the gear spacing of the 5600, but every other aspect of it's existence is garbage. Well, I guess I shouldn't say that; as heavy as they are they'd make a great boat anchor.

Try a zf6 then, almost identical gear ratios. And the ford version has an oil pump that goes to a cooler out front.
Does a ZF6 bolt up to a Cummins adapter plate? Or did you use an aftermarket adapter?
I’ve often thought about finding a ZF6 to replace my 5spd in the 91. I have a 4500 to put in there, but I do not see the benefit over the current G360. Also have a NP205 that needs to mate up to the ZF. Would it be adapter city on my drive line?
I think they're cheap because they rarely break. I wish I'd done a zf6 in my 99 instead of the 5600. They shift so much nicer, and the price difference would have made up for the adapter cost.Bought the adapter plate for 550,and I used the ford electric shift 271.not sure what else you could use. Zf6s come up cheap for some reason though, atleast around me.
I’m curious why everyone dogs the 5600? My dads truck has one with 430k on it. Minus a few clutches and hardly any fluid changes, it still shifts fine.
The 4500 has the obvious 5th gear nut issue that can wipe out lots of components if you really lug in 5th when loaded. 2nd to 3rd gear spacing is too far, and reverse is too tall for backing trailers.
From my experience, I’d rather a G360 over the 4500 if you’re driving sensible. And the 5600 over both of those.
This will be the 2nd time 6th gear has failed in this 5600, in 97k miles. Its an antique tractor guy, im guessing he likes to lug it and use the torque while towing his tractors.
All the reman facilities are 4-6 weeks out, some have no cores to start on so they would need this one first. I actually was recommended 2 local shops that a friend has had good experiences with prior. The one that has the trans now says 1 week turnaround provided parts are available

World Class in delmont & Joe's transmission in butlerWho were the local shops? PM if you'd like, I have one that's needing bearings most likely.
