The TR-4050 provides an essential option for a market that has been missing.

Lower gearing is preferred for off-road use where you want to crawl, climb or go through obstacles.
Hauling and work environments are also best served with a purpose-geared transmission.
The existing 2wd models simply do not offer the low gearing needed for off-road use and larger-diameter tires.
The TR-4050’s combination of 6.16 low gear and .76 overdrive (24% rpm reduction) is a win/win.

The TR-4050 can be mated to a variety of different O.E. transfer cases
The TR-4050 will have parts and warranty support for quite some time unlike the popular NV4500, which has been out of production since 2007.

 

The TR-4050 is a proven design that has been in production since the early 1990s.
A rugged, die-cast, aluminum-alloy case forms the foundation.
The gears have a high-contact, constant-mesh, helical design for maximum strength It has a torque-handling capacity of up to 425 lb-ft on a working GCVW of more than 15,000 pounds.
For increased internal stability under load, the input, main and counter shafts feature tapered roller bearings.
A counter-shaft–mounted 5th gear synchronizer improves noise, vibration, and harshness in overdrive.

With gear ratios of 6.16 first, 3.11 second gear, 1.71 third gear, 1.00 fourth gear, and .76 overdrive fifth gear.
The TR-4050 is more capable than either the NV4500 or NP430 transmissions at off-road use, while still being capable of highway and everyday driving.

Single- and double-cone synchronizers give the driver silky-smooth shifts.
If PTO capability is needed, the TR-4050 has a standard, right-hand, six-bolt PTO hookup.

The TR-4050 can be mated to a multitude of engines:
Cummins 4BT, 6BT, 5.0, and R2.8; Ford Windsor small-block and Coyote; small- and big-block Chevy and LS Series; and small-block Mopar and Gen III Hemi.
It’s an ideal replacement for the AX15, NV3500, NV3550, and NV4500 5-speeds, as well as NP435A, NP435L, NP435D, NP435E, T18, T19, T98, SM420, and SM465 4-speeds.
