Getrag trans in my 96??
I came upon a parts truck and now have a good getrag 5 spd and t-case out of a 91 cummins.
What do you guys think about installing it in my 96 cummins? I have heard differing opinions about this trans. Is it going to work well for me? At highway speed and towing?
Mainly i just need to get rid of the auto and go manual. Is the nv4500 better? by much?
Thanks for your thoughts!!

The transfercase from the 91 is an np-205 with the output and shifter located on the pass side. The 96 used a 241 with the output and shifter located on the drivers side.
