Please note that there is no machine work needed on the GM & Dodge NP205 with big bearing bore cases ( 29 & 32 spline inputs). Note: Small bearing bore case Dodge 23 spline & GM 10, 27 spline NP205 transfer cases will need the front input bearing bore machined to big bore specifications.
Transmission
GM's new Hydra-Matic 6L80 & 6L90 transmissions are the first of a new family of modular six-speed rear-drive transmissions. The transmissions feature two overdrive gears and a wide, 6.04:1 gear ratio spread to improve performance and fuel economy when compared with conventional four- and five-speed automatic transmissions. With two overdrive gears, engine rpm is reduced by approximately 9 percent at 60 mph - a reduction to about 1,500 rpm. Lower engine rpm can bolster fuel economy because less fuel is used. A lower-rpm cruising speed also enhances smoothness and reduces noise heard in the vehicle's cabin.
