Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1031050 Short Shift Lever Kit upgrades the factory shift feel in your 1999–2002 Dodge Ram equipped with the NV5600 6-speed manual transmission. If your stock shifter feels long, sloppy, or slow to engage, this kit delivers a tighter, sportier driving experience by reducing shift lever travel by approximately 20% for quicker, more positive gear changes.
This kit is designed for an easy do-it-yourself installation from inside the cab by removing the console to access the shifter shaft. It includes a billet aluminum shift plate, a forged steel shift handle, and high-strength fasteners for durability under daily driving and heavy-duty use. Built for long service life, the BD Diesel short shift kit is engineered and tested to withstand extensive shift cycles while keeping shift engagement precise and consistent.
