If you're on the hunt for a solid manual transmission that won't let you down, you might want to check out what Zumbrota Drivetrain has to offer. These remanufactured transmissions are built with a level of care that really shows. They go through a rigorous process that includes a hydro-blast rinse and a sandblasting treatment for both the internal and external parts. This isn't just some quick fix; it's about making sure everything is as clean and reliable as possible, setting a high bar for axle assembly remanufacturing.

Now, if you’re rocking a Chevrolet Colorado or GMC Canyon, this 5-speed manual transmission is a great fit. It’s designed for 2-wheel drive vehicles, so you can count on it to handle your everyday driving without missing a beat. You won’t have to worry about it being flimsy either—this bad boy is made from aluminum, which keeps it lightweight yet durable.

One thing to note is that it doesn’t come pre-filled with oil, so you’ll need to make sure you’ve got some GM89021806 75w-90 GL-3 fluid on hand. The transmission fluid capacity is about 2.3 quarts, which is pretty standard. Just keep in mind that the shifter isn’t included, and the shift linkage is internal, so you’ll need to account for that when you’re doing the install.

As for fitment, this transmission works well with a variety of models: the Chevrolet Colorado from 2004 to 2012, GMC Canyon from 2004 to 2012, and even the Isuzu i-280 and i-290 for a couple of years. If you’re looking to swap out your old transmission for something that’s been remanufactured with attention to detail, this one’s definitely worth considering.

In short, Zumbrota's AR5 Manual Transmission is a reliable choice for anyone needing a solid upgrade or replacement. It’s straightforward, dependable, and made to last. What more could you ask for?
