G56 is a Mercedes transmission. Was originally going to be used as a unimog transmission. It was going to give the unimog a 12 speed ability over its previous 8 speed. Mercedes decided to only offer newer Unimog with an automatic instead. The G56 coupled to a 12 valve and a NP203/205 doubler would be a sweet combo. Attach a 2 speed hi lo switch to the stick and have it actuate your hi lo on the NP203 gives you a 12 speed for both 2wd and 4wd. That's what the G56 was going to do in the unimog if it was used for it.

hey just a quick question since im from Germany I can easily get a Vario or Atgeo G56 since I used to work as a Mercedes Mechanic I'm thinking about converting my 3rd gen cummins to manual, do you know what modifications are required to make the Mercedes box fit if any at all

I know it’s been 4 yrs since you left this comment, but check our decent garage here on KZitem. He did exactly the combo you said with a 12v and a G56 and a np205 in what I believe is an 87 dodge. I could be wrong on the year.

I prefer the nv5600. Cast iron is stronger than aluminum. I like how it shifts. Like a big truck trans. The g56 is a slippery fish

Thank you for your input on the g56 (currently trying to squeeze one in my son's 2001 5.9) I concur about the around town driving a manual sucks, shift from 2nd to 4th to 6th traffic light start over even pretending it's 3 speed sucks in town but when your towing heavy nothing better.

I own both 2003 with 118,000 miles and 2009 with 80,000 miles. In my opinion the G56 performance way better from shifting to moving the truck around. Haven’t had any issues with any of them but the only plus is for the G56. Way better positive shifting.

I owned 3 G56 trucks before trading for a 48re 68rfe and Aisin . The trucks were wonderful i just wanted to step up to longhorn interior and auto was easier for guys to drive. I really wish they had longhorn and limted G56 . The keyless entry and push to start is a winner .The center console is a winner over the flip.

Just upgraded from an 02 3500 to a 06 3500 4wd. The best way I can describe the nv5600 is it feels like a dump truck which isn’t necessarily a bad thing just a little off on a light truck the g56 feels just like a car. Driveability wise g56 all day but the nv5600 just spoke to the trucker in me😂

So back in the when ram went to the G56 I compared it to the NV5600 and fond that the final gear was geared way lower. Seems like that would be a problem at highway speeds if you wanted any fuel mileage at all. Don’t understand why the changed from a solid trans to the g56 but I’m sure weight played into it

Only the first 2 years of the G56 are geared that low in overdrive. The later G56 is actually geared longer than the 5600 solving the issue. I'm still 5600 gang though

Very interesting, thanks. I'll try a new g56 and see how I like the new ratios. So you think with a good clutch the g56 would take hard miles reliably as all your aisin's? I don't see many 5th gens with the experience/miles you're putting down.
@pddieselpower

+nrthrn stncrft with the right driver that g56 will out last a aisin no problem. Don't forget an auto trans is bunch of clutches burning them self down to get you moving... So yes. If you don't much of in town driving g56 is your choice. Because as a tow rig you want to control your gears. The truck doesn't see what's ahead and only sees throttle % and engine load % And does it shifting from that. Unlike you, see it up ahead

I liked it but wished the truck had 3.55 rears or even 3.42 it had 4.10 gears and 6th gear was screaming on the highway. It had monster power so a higher gear ratio would have been fine and would of allowed nicer highway driving and better fuel mileage
