New 6 speed manual scheduled......
A portion of a report in today's edition of Auto Tech Daily:
........Ram 2500/3500 heavy-duty pickups (powered by the Hemi V-8 or Cummins diesel) will feature a G56 six-speed manual in place of the NV4500 five-speed and NV5600 sixspeed manual transmissions. The G56 features a dual-trunnion shift tower that provides a compact shift pattern with optimal mechanical advantage for shifting. It has double-cone synchronizers for first through fourth and reverse gears. The 6.29:1 first-gear ratio provides better launch performance for an improved experience under heavily loaded and trailer tow conditions..........
