For light-duty vehicles and SUVs, the NV3500 transmission is a robust 5-speed manual gearbox. The NV3500 transmission, which was widely used in GM and Dodge automobiles from the 1990s to the beginning of the 2000s, is renowned for its extended service life, easy shifting, and sturdy design. It is perfect for V6 and small V8 engines in half-ton pickups because it was designed to withstand modest torque loads.
