How do you know it needs attention? Just because its making noise? The G-56 is a noisy darn thing to begin with, mine makes crazy noises all the time and has for a while now, at first i thought the same thing about mine but 40K miles later its still going strong, maybe think about getting a Fluidamper!

Does yours vibrate at low rpm (700-1200), like if you skip 5th and go to 6th and it brings the rpm's down. Mine sounds like its going to vibrate right out of the truck.

I had an 05 1/2 with the g-56. It made tons of noise. I took it to get looked at and $3600.00 later a rebuilt transmission charged to go ol' chrysler. I only had 55,000 miles on it with towing no more than 7000 lbs once or twice a month.

Sounds to me like your lugging the crap out of the truck if your skipping 5th and the RPM's drop way down, mine will do this to if do the same....

Agreed, 700-1200 rpm is not where the truck should be run in 6'th gear!

Anything will do that if you lug it like that.

Why would you try to drive your truck @ 700-1200 rpm in 5th and 6th gear, any tranny is ganna growl at ya doing that!

I do not lug the truck at 700rpm I was just telling you guys but I do have a terrible vibration in 5th gear from 1300 to 1800 and at 40mph 5th is just right and it vibrated bad so I try 6th but 6th lugs it and it vibrates.(@40mph)

Well, replacing the DMF clutch with that Valair DD is the main reason... lots of harmonics from the engine get to the G56 - that's why a FluiDampr or equivalant is a good idea.

Biggest "problem" with the CRs is they'll make plenty of usable power practically off idle - makes it tough on parts.
