This New Venture Gear 3500 (NV3500) 5-speed manual was used across multiple GM trucks and SUVs in the 1990s and early 2000s, including:

Chevrolet K1500 / C1500
GMC Sierra 1500
Chevy S10 / GMC Sonoma
Tahoe / Yukon (manual versions)

The NV3500 was designed as a light-duty transmission with an aluminum case and integral bellhousing. It’s a popular choice for light pickup trucks and off-road builds due to its simplicity and availability.
