Default Tremec manual transmission

Has anyone used a Tremec TR-4050 in their 2nd Gen?

TREMEC TR-4050

Looks like it might be a good option.

I like those gear ratios, do they have a 4x4 version that the transfer case will bolt to?

That link was supposed to be the 4x4 version.



It’s distributed through Silver Sport Transmission out of Tennessee.

I’m guessing you need a bell housing off a 2500 (NV4500) to mount it, since the NV3500 has a built in bell housing.

I saw they have light truck (4x2) txmns with bell housings.
Go to the Tremec website and email them with your inquiry, they seem very helpful.

I asked for a quote on a turnkey kit to swap out my NV3500… I’ll let you know when I hear back.

So far the transmission itself is $3,195… I’m waiting on $$ for bell housing and any other parts.

Shipping to S Fla is around $350.

Update: I’m told the TR4050 is a direct bolt-up replacement for the NV4500 (within 1/2” on length).
If replacing an NV3500 you need to get a stock NV4500 bell housing and clutch.

This txmn is factory fit in Ram 2500 sold in Mexico.
