Thetransmission is a four-wheel drive configurations.The transmission gear case consists of two alumi-num housings. The clutch housing is a removablecomponent. It is not an integral part of the transmis-sion front housing.A combination of roller and ball bearings are usedto support the transmission shafts in the two hous-ings. The transmission gears all rotate on caged typeneedle bearings. A roller bearing is used between theinput and output shaft.The NV3550 has a single shaft shift mechanismwith three shift forks all mounted on the shaft. Theshaft is supported in the front and rear housings bybushings and one linear ball bearing. Internal shiftcomponents consist of the forks, shaft, shift leversocket and detent components.The transmission drain plug is located on the bot-tom and fill plug on the side.The NV3550 identification and part number barcode tags (Fig. 1) are located on the top of the trans-mission, forward of the shift tower.OPERATIONThe driver selects a particular gear by moving theshift lever to the desired gear position. This move-ment moves the internal transmission shift compo-nents to begin the shift sequence. As the shift levermoves the selected shift rail, the shift fork attachedto that rail begins to move. The fork is positioned ina groove in the outer circumference of the synchro-nizer sleeve. As the shift fork moves the synchronizersleeve, the synchronizer begins to speed-up or slowdown the selected gear (depending on whether we are

up-shifting or down-shifting). The synchronizer doesthis by having the synchronizer hub splined to themainshaft and moving the blocker ring into contactwith the gear’s friction cone. As the blocker ring andfriction cone come together, the gear speed is broughtup or down to the speed of the synchronizer. As thetwo speeds match, the splines on the inside of thesynchronizer sleeve become aligned with the teeth onthe blocker ring and the friction cone and eventuallywill slide over the teeth, locking the gear to themainshaft through the synchronizer.DIAGNOSIS AND TESTINGLOW LUBRICANT LEVELA low transmission lubricant level is generally theresult of a leak, inadequate lubricant fill, or an incor-rect lubricant level check.

Leaks can occur at the mating surfaces of the gearcase and adaptor or from the front/rear seals. A sus-pected leak could also be the result of an overfill con-dition.Leaks at the rear of the extension or adapter hous-ing will be from the housing oil seals. Leaks at com-ponent mating surfaces will probably be the result ofinadequate sealer, gaps in the sealer, incorrect bolttightening, or use of a non–recommended sealer.A leak at the front of the transmission will be fromeither the front bearing retainer or retainer seal.Lubricant may be seen dripping from the clutchhousing after extended operation. If the leak issevere, it may also contaminate the clutch disc caus-ing the disc to slip, grab, and/or chatter.A correct lubricant level check can only be madewhen the vehicle is level. Also allow the lubricant tosettle for a minute or so before checking. These rec-ommendations will ensure an accurate check andavoid an underfill or overfill condition. Always checkthe lubricant level after any addition of fluid to avoidan incorrect lubricant level condition.HARD SHIFTINGHard shifting is usually caused by a low lubricantlevel, improper, or contaminated lubricants. The conse-quence of using non–recommended lubricants is noise,excessive wear, internal bind, and hard shifting. Sub-stantial lubricant leaks can result in gear, shift rail,synchro, and bearing damage. If a leak goes undetec-ted for an extended period, the first indications of com-ponent damage are usually hard shifting and noise.Shift component damage, incorrect clutch adjust-ment, or a damaged clutch pressure plate or disc areadditional probable causes of increased shift effort.Incorrect adjustment or a worn/damaged pressureplate or disc can cause incorrect release. If the clutchproblem is advanced, gear clash during shifts canresult. Worn or damaged synchro rings can causegear clash when shifting into any forward gear. Insome new or rebuilt transmissions, new synchrorings may tend to stick slightly causing hard or noisyshifts. In most cases, this condition will decline asthe rings wear-in.TRANSMISSION NOISEMost manual transmissions make some noise dur-ing normal operation. Rotating gears generate a mildwhine that is audible, but generally only at extremespeeds.Severe, highly audible transmission noise is gener-ally the initial indicator of a lubricant problem. Insuf-ficient, improper, or contaminated lubricant willpromote rapid wear of gears, synchros, shift rails, forksand bearings. The overheating caused by a lubricantproblem, can also lead to gear and bearing damage.

SHIFT SHAFT AND FORKSInspect the shift fork interlock arms and synchrosleeve contact surfaces (Fig. 46). Replace any forkexhibiting wear or damage in these areas. Do notattempt to salvage shift forks.Check condition of the shift shaft detent plungerand spring. The plunger should be smooth and free ofnicks, or scores. The plunger spring should bestraight and not collapsed, or distorted. Replace theplunger and spring if in doubt about condition. Checkcondition of detent plunger bushings. Replace if dam-aged.Inspect the shift shaft, shift shaft bushing andbearing, the shaft lever, and the lever bushing thatfits over the lever. Replace the shaft if bent, cracked,or severely scored. Replace the shift shaft bushing orbearing if damaged.Replace the shaft lever and bushing if either partis deformed, or worn. Do not attempt to salvage theseparts as shift fork binding will occur. Replace the rollpin that secures the lever to the shaft.FRONT/REAR HOUSINGS AND BEARINGRETAINERSInspect the housings carefully. Look for cracks,stripped threads, scored mating surfaces, damagedbearing bores, or worn dowel pin holes.

Ifequipped with 2WD, this adapter is located on theleft side of the transmission extension housing.OPERATIONThe VSS is a 3-circuit (3–wire), magnetic, hall-ef-fect sensor.The 3 circuits are:

• A 5-volt power supply from the Powertrain Con-trol Module (PCM).• A ground is provided for the sensor though alow-noise sensor return circuit in the PCM.• An input to the PCM is used to determine vehi-cle speed and distance traveled.

The speed sensor generates 8 pulses per sensorrevolution. These signals, in conjunction with aclosed throttle signal from the throttle position sen-sor, indicate a closed throttle deceleration to thePCM. When the vehicle is stopped at idle, a closedthrottle signal is received by the PCM (but a speedsensor signal is not received).Under deceleration conditions, the PCM adjuststhe Idle Air Control (IAC) motor to maintain adesired MAP value. Under idle conditions, the PCMadjusts the IAC motor to maintain a desired enginespeed.REMOVALThe Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) is located on thespeedometer pinion gear adapter. If equipped with4WD, this adapter is located on the transfer caseextension (left side) (Fig. 119). If equipped with 2WD,this adapter is located on the extension housing ofthe transmission (left side).

(1) Raise and support vehicle.(2) Disconnect electrical connector from sensor bypushing slide tab (Fig. 119). After slide tab has beenpositioned, push in on secondary release lock (Fig.119) on side of connector and pull connector fromsensor.(3) Remove sensor mounting bolt (Fig. 120).(4) Remove sensor (pull straight out) from speed-ometer pinion gear adapter (Fig. 120). Do not removegear adapter from transmission.INSTALLATION(1) Clean inside of speedometer pinion gearadapter before installing speed sensor.(2) Install sensor into speedometer gear adapterand install mounting bolt. Before tightening bolt, ver-ify speed sensor is fully seated (mounted flush) tospeedometer pinion gear adapter.(3) Tighten sensor mounting bolt to 2.2 N·m (20 in.lbs.) torque.(4) Connect electrical connector to sensor.
