Description
Product Overview
The Zumbrota Remanufactured Manual Transmissions RMTS5-42-3 is a replacement 5-speed manual transmission from Zumbrota Drivetrain. It belongs to the Zumbrota Remanufactured Manual Transmissions product line and is built for drivers and repair professionals who need a properly remanufactured transmission with dependable quality control.
This product is identified by Manufacturer’s Part Number RMTS5-42-3, Summit Racing Part Number ZUD-RMTS5-42-3, and UPC 883584758334. These identifiers help repair shops, mechanics, parts departments, and drivetrain specialists confirm the correct unit before ordering.
The transmission features a 5-speed configuration, an aluminum case, and a listed 5.72 first gear ratio. This first gear detail is important for applications requiring this specific low-gear setup.
The bellhousing is included, which provides added value for compatible replacement installations. This helps simplify planning for vehicles that require the correct bellhousing configuration as part of the transmission assembly.
The transmission also includes a 7-tooth speedometer gear, an important detail for matching the correct speedometer-related setup.
The yoke is not included, and the shifter is not included, so those parts should be confirmed separately before installation.
Fitment and Application Details
The Zumbrota RMTS5-42-3 remanufactured manual transmission should be matched carefully to the intended vehicle before ordering. Have the VIN number ready so compatibility can be confirmed accurately.
Important fitment details include vehicle year, make, model, engine, drivetrain, original transmission code, bellhousing configuration, clutch setup, flywheel, pilot bearing, clutch release system, output yoke, driveshaft length, transmission mount, crossmember position, shifter setup, speedometer gear requirements, and fluid specifications.
The bellhousing is included, which can help support installation planning for compatible vehicles. The bellhousing should still be confirmed against the engine and clutch system before installation.
The yoke is not included, so the correct output connection should be selected separately.
The shifter is not included, so the correct shifter assembly, linkage, handle, boot, and interior fitment should be confirmed before ordering.
For a complete drivetrain installation, additional parts may include clutch components, flywheel, pilot bearing, release bearing, yoke, shifter parts, transmission mount, driveshaft components, fluid, seals, hardware, and vehicle-specific installation components.
Build Quality and Reliability
The Zumbrota Remanufactured Manual Transmissions RMTS5-42-3 is built through a professional remanufacturing process focused on inspection, cleaning, component verification, and replacement of common wear parts.
Each transmission receives a pre-inspection to check for case cracks, excessive wear, and OEM-related concerns commonly found in transmission cores.
A second inspection is completed during the remanufacturing process to help confirm that component parts meet OEM specifications.
A final post-build inspection is performed to confirm that the finished unit meets strict quality standards before shipment.
Internal components receive 100 percent inspection, including gear wear checks, main shaft straightness testing, and synchronizer testing.
Zumbrota also performs 100 percent replacement of seals, bearings, and other common wear components, helping provide a dependable replacement transmission ready for proper installation.
The housing and top covers are cleaned using a hydro-blasting and rinsing process to help return cases to an OEM-style finish.
Units are shipped in high-density plastic totes to help protect the transmission during transit and reduce the risk of shipping damage.
What Makes This Transmission a Strong Choice
The Zumbrota RMTS5-42-3 remanufactured manual transmission is a strong choice for buyers who need a replacement 5-speed transmission with tested internal parts, professional remanufacturing, and dependable fitment support.
One key advantage is the included bellhousing, which helps support replacement planning for compatible applications.
The aluminum case provides a practical housing material for the correct drivetrain setup, while the 5-speed configuration makes this transmission suitable for compatible manual transmission replacement projects.
The 5.72 first gear ratio is important for vehicles that require this specific low-gear setup.
The included 7-tooth speedometer gear is a valuable detail for matching the correct speedometer arrangement.
Most importantly, this transmission is backed by a remanufacturing process that includes inspection, cleaning, gear wear checks, synchronizer testing, main shaft straightness testing, and replacement of common wear parts.
Because fitment can be confirmed using the VIN number, buyers can order with stronger confidence and better compatibility support.
Ideal Buyers and Use Cases
The Zumbrota Remanufactured Manual Transmissions RMTS5-42-3 is ideal for vehicle owners, mechanics, repair shops, fleet service teams, and drivetrain specialists who need a dependable remanufactured 5-speed manual transmission with professional inspection and fitment support.

This product is useful for vehicles with manual transmission failure caused by internal wear, bearing issues, gear wear, shifting problems, synchronizer concerns, or general drivetrain damage.
It is not a complete universal installation kit. The yoke is not included, and the shifter is not included, so those components should be confirmed before installation.
