I don't think a getrag or g56 will work behind a hemi.... two totally different worlds. If it was a tremec them maybe but that's a t-56.
The getrag is one huge trans and the gearing is probably way off for the hemi also

It has the same shift pattern as a g56 in a diesel so I assumed it was a g56. It still in the truck now.
So you're saying it's a t56?
First manual hemi truck I've I usually mess with diesels.
Thanks

It's the G56. They offered them for only a year or two, behind the Hemi in the 2500. There was actually a ram 2500 (with powerwagon badges) just for sale at my local dealer. I ran the VIN on Ram's website, and per the factory sheet, it said it had the 6 spd G56 in it. It is mildly rare to find one, and they're geared (as far as I know), similar to the Cummins. I would love to have one, but can't afford to do the swap, nor do I have the know-how.
However, someone with speed in mind would be better off with the TR6060 (IIRC), which is the one out of the Challengers. There's a company that makes a custom bell housings to make all the magic happen so it fits in the Rams, or so I've heard.

Thanks for the input. This from my research isn't a "common" truck offered with a g56 manual 6 speed with a hemi.
I was hoping there would be more interest in people wanting to do a manual conversion.
I read one guy did the swap for pulling his camper and he was extremely pleased with the results and said it pulled like a new truck due to the gearing vs the Auto he had.
So I'm mainly checking interest to see if many hemi ram owners actually want a manual transmission in their truck vs the Auto.
I'm a diesel guy. If this would work with the cummins it would have been sold BUT since I'm not much on the gas side of trucks I wasn't sure what if it would be quick to move or if I'd have to sit on it for a while.

That would be an interesting swap (I've got a NV4500 in my truck), but I don't think it'd be worth the trouble in my case. Somebody with an automatic or a 1/2 ton manual truck would probably be the best candidates.

I really want this in a bad way but I don't have enough cash at the moment. Seller has all the parts and is asking a good price. I'm not going to say what it is because every negotiation is different 
If he still has it in June it will hopefully be going in my '11 2500 later this summer. I guess if I miss out that will teach me not to impulse buy firearms.......

Yeah, gets me every time. I wasn't exactly planning on actually finding the unicorn of used truck parts this soon Lmao I've been looking ever since I sold my '06 with hemi/g56 back in July and this is the first hemi version g56 I've found. Ctd version has larger input shaft.
