| Difference between the "Up To" and "After" type transmissions is in the placement of the drain plug. The "After" type has the drain plug in the rear of the transmission case going in parallel to the bottom of the case. | ||

| Years Used: 1956-1968 Dodge Part Number: 1666 547, NP420 |

| Visually the difference between the non-synchromesh and later NP420 synchromesh transmission, when looking at the transmission tower inside the cab, is that the NP420 tower is located further forward towards the firewall where the non-synchromesh tower is located more towards the center of the transmission hump. | ||
