The NV-4500 5-speed is the choice from that era (problems and solutions are known). The NV-5600 6-speed is better, but out of production and parts harder to find I'm told. The G-56 is the current manual and maybe the best choice (except price). There shouldn't be any problem with clutches (SOUTH BEND, and consult STANDARD TRANSMISSION for all else).
