the 6speeds dont have to shift much. once i get into top gear, it stays there unless i have to stop.

I dont hear the best stuff about those newer G56 trannies they are not as strong

The only issue I have seen with the G56 is a few high HP sled pulling trucks. I have not seen any problems with any mild modified trucks. Could this be a sign of things to come, could be, Don't know. Dual Mass Flywheel could be a problem. Don't know I have not seen any major problems on here yet with them.

I know I like my dads G56 better then my brothers NV5600 as far as shifting characteristics.
