YA i will be picking up on saturday. They say the 7 speed as the squirt ant above pointed out works nice. I have never heard of a 5 speed truck or car called a 6 speed cause it has reverse.

my brother has the 6 speed in his and i have a 5 in mine and ... theres a big difference in the both of them ..
if i could id get the 6 speed in mine just gives you a better ratio when wheeling .

the 5 speed, the nvg3550, was used until 2003. then the nsg370(i think),  took over as the 6 speed. from what ive read and heard the 5 speed is a stronger tranny, but the 6 speed does have a lower 1st gear... and in all reality im sure the 6 speed will do just fine. so really, if you like it then wheel it. aint that the point;)

it changed in 05 .. cuz my 04 still has the 5 speed

i heard the same 5 speed is stronger but the 6 is lower gearing

either way its a rubi youll have a blast

They changed to the NSG-370 6 speed halfway into 05 from my research.
