Specifications

The Chrysler NSG370 Transmission is a Mercedes-designed 6-speed manual transmission built for reliable performance and smooth shifting in compatible Jeep and Chrysler applications. Featuring a durable cast-aluminium housing, 272 lb-ft. torque capacity, 89-lb dry weight, and a 4.46:1 first gear through 0.84:1 overdrive sixth gear, it offers strong acceleration and efficient highway cruising. The transmission includes a 10-spline × 1-1/8-inch input shaft, 23-spline output shaft, and approximately 1.9-quart fluid capacity, making it a dependable replacement choice for compatible drivetrains.

Engine Transmission

NSG270

The NSG270 is a lower-torque 6-speed manual transmission from the Mercedes/Daimler NSG family, developed for lighter passenger-car and moderate-duty applications. Its compact design and six forward speeds provide smooth power delivery, good drivability, and efficient highway cruising. With a lower torque capacity than the heavier NSG variants, the NSG270 is best suited to vehicles with moderate engine output and less demanding drivetrain requirements.   

NSG370 / NSG400

The NSG370 and NSG400 are higher-torque versions of the NSG manual transmission family, designed for applications requiring greater strength and durability. The NSG370 is rated around 272 lb-ft. (370 Nm), while the NSG400 provides an even higher torque capability for demanding applications. These transmissions are commonly associated with heavier rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles, including trucks, SUVs, and performance-oriented vehicles. Their robust construction, six-speed gearing, and higher torque capacity make them suitable for applications where dependable shifting and drivetrain durability are important.
