I tried searching, but didn't find what I need.

I'm about to change the oil in the G56, and need to know if there's a magnet in the bottom that you get to via taking a PTO cover plate off like the NV5600?

Thanks in advance.

 

every trannny should have a magnet in there to catch the small metal particals. when you drop the pan it will look like a spongy blob under that blob will be a ring thats the magnet. make sure you put it in the same spot when you clean it, the pan should have a small nipple to make sure it doesnt shift around

 

I'm pretty sure (92%) that the drain plug had the magnet made to it. Really sure. Didn't have to mess with the PTO plate like an NV trans.

Thanks for the replies.

No pan, being a manual transmission. The NV5600 has a plastic square magnet, like a refrigerator magnet, that just sits in the bottom of the case. It didn't have a drain plug (you use a pto cover bolt).

I see the G does have a drain bolt, so I figured they may have just used a magnetic plug...

My G (and other's I've driven) seems to make a bit more gear noise than the NV did. Anyone else who's had both notice that?

 

oh sorry i read right over that you had a manual tranny.
