If you're in the market for a solid manual transmission, let me tell you about the Zumbrota Drivetrain A535. These guys have been at this for over 30 years, and they know their stuff. They specialize in remanufactured manual transmissions, and they’ve got a reputation for reliability that’s hard to beat.

Now, I get it—manuals aren’t as common these days, which makes finding a good one a bit of a hunt. But Zumbrota sticks to their guns, focusing on manual transmissions while others have moved on. What you get with the A535 is a transmission that’s been carefully remanufactured with a keen eye for detail. They run quality checks three times during the process, so you know they’re not just slapping these things together.

Here’s what sets this transmission apart:

• First off, they inspect the core for cracks and wear before they even start working on it. No one wants to deal with a faulty unit right out of the gate.
• During the remanufacturing, they ensure every part meets OEM specifications. This isn’t just a slapdash rebuild; it’s done right.
• After it’s all put together, there’s a final inspection to make sure everything is up to their high standards.
• They even clean the housings and top covers with a hydro blasting process that brings them back to that OEM shine. Once you see it, you’ll appreciate the difference.
• Every internal component gets a thorough inspection, from gear wear to mainshaft straightness. They don’t cut corners.
• All the seals and bearings are replaced, so you won’t be dealing with wear issues anytime soon.
• Before they ship it out, they put it through the wringer on a dynamometer, simulating real-world conditions to ensure it’s ready for action.
• And when it comes to shipping, they use high-density plastic totes to protect your investment from transit damage.
• Plus, they back it all up with a 2-year unlimited mileage warranty for vehicles up to 3/4 tons. That’s peace of mind right there.

Now, let’s get into the specs:

Just imagine getting back on the road with a transmission that’s built to last and perform. It's a great way to keep your ride running smoothly without breaking the bank. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
