It belongs to the Zumbrota Remanufactured Manual Transmissions product line and is built for buyers who need a professionally remanufactured transmission with dependable quality control.
This product is identified by Manufacturer’s Part Number RMT4500C-8, Summit Racing Part Number ZUD-RMT4500C-8, and UPC 883584736370. These identifiers help mechanics, repair shops, fleet maintenance teams, service departments, and drivetrain specialists confirm the correct unit before ordering.

This unit is sold individually. The bellhousing is not included, the yoke is not included, and the shifter is not included, so those supporting parts should be confirmed separately before installation.
The product note states to have the VIN number ready when ordering. This helps confirm the correct transmission for the vehicle and supports a smoother fitment process before purchase.
Fitment and Application Details
The Zumbrota RMT4500C-8 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 requirements, and fluid specifications.
The bellhousing is not included, so the correct bellhousing should be confirmed before installation. Depending on the vehicle, the original bellhousing may be reused if it is compatible and in proper condition.
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, bellhousing, yoke, shifter parts, transmission mount, driveshaft components, fluid, seals, hardware, and vehicle-specific installation components.
Build Quality and Reliability
The Zumbrota Remanufactured Manual Transmissions RMT4500C-8 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 RMT4500C-8 remanufactured manual transmission is a strong choice for buyers who need a replacement 5-speed manual transmission with professional remanufacturing and dependable fitment support.
One key advantage is the cast iron case, which is important for compatible applications requiring this specific transmission housing material.
The 5-speed configuration makes this unit suitable for vehicles originally equipped with the correct manual transmission setup.
The remanufacturing process adds major value. Each unit is inspected, cleaned, checked for internal wear, tested for main shaft straightness, checked for synchronizer condition, and rebuilt with common wear components replaced.
The VIN-based ordering support helps buyers confirm compatibility before purchase. This is especially important because manual transmission fitment can vary by year, engine, drivetrain, clutch setup, speedometer setup, and original transmission configuration.
Because this transmission is sold individually and does not include the bellhousing, yoke, or shifter, it is best suited for buyers who are replacing a compatible unit and planning the required supporting components before installation.
Ideal Buyers and Use Cases
The Zumbrota Remanufactured Manual Transmissions RMT4500C-8 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.
It is suitable for replacement transmission projects requiring a cast iron case, 5-speed configuration, and VIN-confirmed compatibility.
This product is useful for vehicles with manual transmission failure caused by internal wear, bearing issues, gear wear, shifting problems, synchronizer concerns, case damage, or general drivetrain fatigue.
It is also a practical choice for service departments and repair professionals replacing a compatible manual transmission while confirming required supporting parts such as the bellhousing, yoke, shifter, clutch components, and installation hardware.
The best buyer for this unit is someone who has the VIN number ready, wants a professionally remanufactured transmission, and needs confident compatibility support before ordering.
