Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1031055 Short Shift Lever Kit puts fun back in your driving by tightening up the factory shifter feel in your 2003–2005 Dodge Ram 5.9L Cummins equipped with the NV5600 6-speed manual transmission. The stock NV5600 shifter has long throws that can feel loose and slow—this kit delivers a more precise, performance-inspired shift experience by reducing shift lever travel by 20%.
This kit is built for durability and daily use with a billet aluminum shift plate, forged steel shift handle, and high-strength fasteners. Installation is fully in-cab—remove the console to access the shifter shaft and complete the upgrade in about an hour. The result is quicker, smoother gear selection without the long factory lever movement.
