I've always known manual transmissions to be stronger and last longer than
automatics, in their stock form anyway. True, some have had problems with
the NV-3500(me included-I'm still fighting mine), but many people use that
tranny with great success, so I think the ones that are having problems are
just flukes. In my opinion, the NV-3500 is the way to go. There are many
folks running the 45RFE tranny, but who knows what the future brings??
Nobody really knows how long these trannies will last. Look at Mark Kuzia,
Sam South, GS Willhite, Sam Parthemer, Matt Barrett, and many others who are
putting a lot of power to the ground through these trannies reliably! I
think if you get your hands on a good NV-3500, it will be great!

I`ve been looking at some 4.7 Daks around here.I know
that many of you like the manual for better power,but
some have had problems with them? And are the 45RFE
automatics reliable? I`m wondering what your opinions
are on those as well.Thank you. Steve P.
