2005 Ram 6 Speed Manual for Gasoline, First ride and drive.
Yes the 6 speeds are here!
Unbelievable, this was 3.7 V6 Tonight, its not even P.D.I.d' yet, but I was curious, took it off the lot, first thing I notice with the Getrag was that it shifts 100% more smooth than the previous 5 speeds we are used to, no missing gears AT ALL not even close, next thing I noticed was that the overall performance was MUCH better, and get this, this Reg Cab ST Ram came with a 3.21 Gear ratio, making my 65mph RPM and 1,900.........
Unbelievable efficiency, this think will most likely get 25+mpg on the HW at 60mph, it has 6 miles on it now, but felt much stronger than any 6 cyl I have ever tried in a full size. This thing is gonna seriously rock in a 5.7 Hemi 1/2 tons & HDs, or even better 6.1 HD.

Dodge finaly found a cure for the G-56 that lives behind the Cummins. add a quart of oil!!!
fill the tranny to the hole, then through the shifter add a quart[&:]
I'm still skeptical about the GETRAG trannies
