nv5600. need help!
i have the nv5600. ive had a southbend dual disc 3250 in the truck for prob 4 months. i tow a boat every other day and i sled pull every other weekend. i seriously doubt i burned my clutch up. but im not sure. the clutch i believe is rated 500 h.p and 1000 ft'lbs witch im prob 500 h.p or more. i recently was at a sled pull and on my last pull it felt like i spun the clutch. i was told that my hydros went out. witch dosent make sence to me. i cant put the transmission in any gear 1,2,3,4,5,6 or rev. while the engine is running. but if i put it in 3rd gear with the truck off and start it i can relese the clutch and float the gears. another reason why i doubt the clutch is toast is i did a 3rd gear powerbrake today and the clutch held all the power and smoked 37 inch tires? im no expert on transmissions but i think my syncros are messed up or something. any info or help would be great.
sorry if spelling is wrong im in a hurry.

Synchro's sounds like to me. The 4500's have that problem too. Sometimes trying different synchro mesh fluids help. I am using royal purple right now but not really impressed with it. The syncros on the 4500 have a bronze sync ring with some friction material bonded to the inner tapered cone, when the friction material gets worn down it causes grinding gears between shifts. I would try changing to a different fluid first and examine the fluid that you drain out for metal and debris.

i just changed the tranny fluid about a month ago and the guy at a local parts store said you have to run mopar oil. it was like 25$ a quart.? so im not to sure i have a feeling something is stuck like the trowout berring isnt moving all the way back to let the clutch fully disengage. tommaro i will find out. took the day off work and im gonna drop the tranny for the 5th time.
