Description
Product Overview
The Zumbrota Remanufactured Manual Transmissions RMTS5-42-15 is a replacement 5-speed manual transmission from Zumbrota Drivetrain. It belongs to the Zumbrota Remanufactured Manual Transmissions product line and is built for buyers who need a professionally remanufactured transmission with strong quality-control standards.
This product is identified by Manufacturer’s Part Number RMTS5-42-15, Summit Racing Part Number ZUD-RMTS5-42-15, and UPC 883584708735. These product identifiers help mechanics, repair shops, fleet maintenance teams, service departments, and drivetrain specialists confirm the correct unit before ordering.
The transmission features a 5-speed configuration, an aluminum case, and a listed 4.14 first gear ratio. This first gear detail is important for applications that require this specific transmission setup.
The bellhousing is included, giving this unit added installation value for compatible replacement applications. The notes also specify with electric speedometer, making speedometer compatibility an important part of fitment confirmation.
This model is not for PTO applications, so it should be selected for compatible vehicles that do not require power take-off functionality.
The yoke is not included, and the shifter is not included, so those supporting parts should be confirmed separately before installation.
Fitment and Application Details
The Zumbrota RMTS5-42-15 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, electric speedometer requirements, and fluid specifications.
The bellhousing is included, which helps support installation planning for compatible vehicles. The bellhousing should still be confirmed against the intended engine and clutch system before installation.
The transmission is built with electric speedometer compatibility. Buyers should confirm that the vehicle’s speedometer setup matches this configuration and verify whether any sensors, wiring, or calibration components are needed.
This unit is not for PTO applications, making it important to confirm that the vehicle does not require PTO functionality.
The yoke is not included, so the correct output connection should be selected separately. The shifter is not included, so the proper shifter assembly, linkage, handle, boot, and interior fitment should also be confirmed before purchase.
For a complete drivetrain installation, additional parts may include clutch components, flywheel, pilot bearing, release bearing, yoke, shifter parts, transmission mount, driveshaft components, electric speedometer-related parts, fluid, seals, hardware, and vehicle-specific installation components.
Build Quality and Reliability
The Zumbrota Remanufactured Manual Transmissions RMTS5-42-15 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 RMTS5-42-15 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 can help 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 electric speedometer compatibility is another important feature for vehicles designed around an electric speedometer system.
This model is designed for vehicles that do not require PTO applications, helping buyers choose the correct transmission configuration for their drivetrain.
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.
