Over filling keeps the input bearing wet and last a lot longer. I put over 300K towing miles on my Getrag 360 with a couple rebuilds. I would fill it up to the fill hole then pull the shifter and add another quart.

How extensive of a rebuild?
Have you heard of that pipe fitting deal ?
Ive never had any experience with this trans at all ... I’m just considering a 93 diesel truck purchase Bearing and ring kit. The first build I had to buy a new input shaft. Yes but I thought it would harder to fill than pulling the shifter.

I’m just considering a 93 diesel truck purchase With a used truck, any damage is already done; overfilling it now is like closing the barn door after............. My high-mile '92 was on its second Getrag and failed shortly after I bought. Replaced it with a NV4500 which also has known problems.

I bought my 92 D350 Cummins with 80K on the clock and it already had a Chrysler rebuilt tranny in it. Had a metal rebuild tag on it and I don't know how many miles were on it. It lasted about another 20K for me and the front bearing and shaft fried.

Standard carries what's needed if you change the Getrag to a newer unit, in case you decide to keep your left foot/leg occupied.

The 4500's, 5600's and g56 all have issues to one extent. Standard has remedies for them all and has the updates done on the units they sell. I believe any of them are an improvement over what you have. Depends on how much you want to spend. Of the 6spds, the 5600 is the best with their gear fix. Check out the website. My truck is a 04.5 h/o with the nv5600 in it. Great unit. Run Amsoil in it with the 1-2 qt overfill done through the shift tower.
