Description

The Zumbrota Drivetrain RMT4500D-4 is a meticulously remanufactured NV4500 manual transmission, specifically engineered to be a robust replacement for 1994-1997 Dodge Ram trucks. This unit is tailored for models featuring the 8.0L engine or a diesel powerplant, combined with a 4x4 drivetrain and the desirable 5-speed manual gearbox. It features a durable cast iron case complemented by an aluminum top cover and a convenient round push-and-twist shift lever retainer. Zumbrota Drivetrain emphasizes quality and reliability throughout their remanufacturing process. Each transmission is subjected to three distinct quality inspections, starting with a pre-inspection to identify and reject cores with common OEM issues like case cracks or excessive wear. Further inspections during the remanufacturing process ensure all component parts meet or exceed OEM specifications. A final, comprehensive post-build inspection guarantees the unit is built to Zumbrota's strict standards. Internal parts receive a 100% inspection, including detailed checks for gear wear, mainshaft straightness, and synchronizer function. To guarantee performance and readiness for real-world driving conditions, every remanufactured RMT4500D-4 transmission is dynometer tested. This testing simulates various operational scenarios, confirming proper function and durability before it leaves the facility. The product includes a refundable core charge, with detailed instructions available for return. Additionally, a Proposition 65 Warning is included for California residents. This transmission is designed for direct fitment in the specified 1994-1997 Ram 8.0L or Diesel 4x4 5-Speed applications. For detailed fitment verification, customers are encouraged to use the 'Select Vehicle' tool or contact Zumbrota's tech support.
