SPECIFICATIONS - NV5600MANUAL TRANSMISSION - NV5600
DESCRIPTIONThe NV5600 is a six speed constant mesh manual transmission (Fig. 1). All gear ranges including reverse are synchronized. First and second gears uti- lize dual cone synchronizers in order to aid shifting. Sixth gear is an overdrive range. The transmission uses cast iron for the gear case and extension/ adapter housing and aluminum for the clutch hous- ing.

The transmission has
two identification tags attached to the driver side upper clutch housing (Fig. 2). One tag provides the transmission part number. The second tag provides sequencing and build date information. The information on the tags are essen- tial to correct parts ordering.

before checking. These recommendations will ensure an accurate check and avoid an underfill or overfill condition. Always check the lubricant level after any addition of fluid to avoid an incorrect lubricant level condition.
Leaks can occur at the mating surfaces of the gear case, adaptor or extension housing, or from the front/ rear seals. A suspected leak could also be the result of an overfill condition. Leaks at the rear of the extension or adapter housing will be from the hous- ing oil seals. Leaks at component mating surfaces will probably be the result of inadequate sealer, gaps in the sealer, incorrect bolt tightening or use of a non-recommended sealer. A leak at the front of the transmission will be from either the front bearing retainer or retainer seal. Lubricant may be seen drip- ping from the clutch housing after extended opera- tion. If the leak is severe, it may also contaminate the clutch disc causing the disc to slip, grab and or chatter.
Fig.2IDENTIFICATIONTAGLOCATION
1 - IDENTIFICATION TAGS
OPERATION
The driver selects a particular gear by moving the shift lever to the desired gear position. As the shift lever moves the selected shift rail, the shift fork attached to that rail begins to move. The fork is posi- tioned in a groove in the outer circumference of the synchronizer sleeve. As the shift fork moves the syn- chronizer sleeve, the synchronizer begins to speed-up or slow down the selected gear (depending on whether we are up-shifting or down-shifting). The synchronizer does this by having the synchronizer hub splined to the mainshaft or the countershaft in some cases, and moving the blocker ring into contact with the gear’s friction cone. As the blocker ring and friction cone come together, the gear speed is brought up or down to the speed of the synchronizer. As the two speeds match, the splines on the inside of the synchronizer sleeve become aligned with the teeth on the blocker ring and friction cone and eventually will slide over the teeth, locking the gear to the main- shaft or countershaft through the synchronizer.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
LOW LUBRICANT LEVEL
A low transmission lubricant level is generally the result of a leak, inadequate lubricant fill or an incor- rect lubricant level check. A correct lubricant level check can only be made when the vehicle is level. Also allow the lubricant to settle for a minute or so
HARD SHIFTING
Hard shifting is usually caused by a low lubricant level, improper or contaminated lubricants. The con- sequence of using non-recommended lubricants is noise, excessive wear, internal bind and hard shift- ing. Substantial lubricant leaks can result in gear, shift rail, synchro, and bearing damage. If a leak goes undetected for an extended period, the first indi- cations of component damage are usually hard shift- ing and noise.
Component damage, incorrect clutch adjustment or damaged clutch pressure plate or disc are additional probable causes of increased shift effort. Incorrect adjustment or a worn/damaged pressure plate or disc can cause incorrect release. If clutch problem is advanced, gear clash during shifts can result. Worn or damaged synchro rings can cause gear clash when shifting into any forward gear. In some new or rebuilt transmissions, new synchro rings may tend to stick slightly causing hard or noisy shifts. In most cases this condition will decline as the rings wear-in.
TRANSMISSION NOISE
Most manual transmissions make some noise dur- ing normal operation. Rotating gears generate a mild whine that is audible, but generally only at extreme speeds. Severe highly audible transmission noise is generally the initial indicator of a lubricant problem. improper or contaminated lubricant will promote rapid wear of gears, synchros, shift rails, forks and bearings. The overheating caused by a lubricant problem, can also lead to gear breakage.
