have 1999 1500 with a manual tranny. How many people out there have one? No problems. But if youhad any what were they?

 

Damn. I wish I did.

 

i do if you want a firmer shift goto hurst and buy the short throw shifter for the dakota with a nvg 3500 trans it fits well and looks cool its alittle lower than i would like but i have had it on there for almost a year and its fine also if you ever change your fluid you have to goto dodge because it takes a specific fluid you can only get from a dealer. its a good trans just dont beat on it to hard because i have broken it twice power shifting

 

Love my 5 speed.... Never had a problem yet. Shifts smooth plus its 10x more fun to drive....

 

5spd ftw! I wanted a 2nd Gen Ram and I heard the auto trannies suck relability wise, I was right. Use 5w30 Synchromesh lube, or be like me and use Mobil 1 Full syn 5w30. Make sure you clean off the magnetic drain plug.
