Dana Spicer 6352, 6352-A, 6352-B, 6352-C, 6352-D 1979 Parts Catalog

You need the right part number before you order a single bearing. Aftermarket lists mix up spline counts and shaft lengths, and that costs you time and cash. This 162-page original Dana Spicer 6352, 6352-A, 6352-B, 6352-C, 6352-D 1979 Parts Catalog is the only source I trust when I’m pulling a 6000-series main transmission apart in my shop. It’s not a reprint of a reprint – it’s the October 1979 factory print, T210-6000, that supersedes the old T210-5 and T210-55 manuals.

Most guys I know skip the parts lookup and just order what they think fits. That works until you get a 6352-B with a sealed bearing cap and the wrong drive gear shows up. Inside this catalog, the DRIVE GEAR TABLE (pages 16-18) lists both screw-back bearing cap and sealed bearing cap configurations. Page 18 is where you find the sealed cap parts. Pull that page before you order anything.

Transmission Gears, Shafts, and Countershafts

Section starts on page 6 with GEARS AND RELATED PARTS. The DRIVE GEAR section runs pages 6-11, MAINSHAFT sits right there with it, and COUNTERSHAFT covers pages 12-15. Every gear set in the 6352, 6352-A, 6352-B, 6352-C, and 6352-D uses the same spline count but different ratios. You verify the ratio from the RATIO TABLE on pages 4-5 before you pull the old cluster. I’ve seen a 6352-D with a 7.xx low gear swapped into a 6352-A housing – that’s a broken countershaft waiting to happen.

Why Use a 1979 OEM Parts Catalog for the 6352 Series?

Because aftermarket parts catalogs drop the clutch release dimensions. This manual gives you CLUTCH RELEASE – Parts Dimensions on pages 54-55 and a full Code Table (pages 56-61). If you’re swapping a clutch housing, the CLUTCH HOUSING DIMENSIONS on page 30-31 give you the bolt circle and pilot bore. No guessing, no cross-ref with a third-party list. The OEM source ensures every part number matches the Dana Spicer production line. That matters when you’re billing a customer for a rebuild and the throwout bearing doesn’t seat.

4 Key Sections for a Full Overhaul

When I teach my junior techs how to use a factory parts manual, I tell them to start here:

• BASIC OVERHAUL PARTS KITS (page 33) – lists the seal and gasket set numbers for each variant
• GEARS AND RELATED PARTS (pages 6-15) – get the correct drive gear and mainshaft
• CASE BEARING CAP AND RELATED PARTS (pages 20-25) – matches the cap to the case serial number
• CLUTCH RELEASE (pages 54-61) – includes release bearing and fork dimensions

Hit those four in order, and you won’t have to tear it back down because the parts don’t align.

CASE CHART and Bearing Cap Dimensions

The CASE CHART on pages 26-29 is critical. It lists every case casting number used across the 6352 family. Identify your transmission’s serial number first – the manual splits the TABULATED BILLS OF MATERIAL into two groups: Before Serial Number 1620599 (pages 62-117) and After Serial Number 1620600 (pages 118-161). If you mix them up, you’ll order a front bearing cap that doesn’t match the bore. The FRONT BEARING CAP CHART on page 32 includes clutch application codes. Cross-check that with the FLANGE YOKE and END YOKE data on page 19. That page alone has saved me two comeback jobs this year.

Identify Your Serial Number Range First

Look at the tag on the right side of the case. Write down the serial number. Then open to page 62 or page 118 depending on the range. The tabulated bills list every part with call-outs keyed to the illustrations on the inside back cover. If you need a shifter housing, go to page 36-37 and then find the VARIABLE PARTS CHART on page 38-39. REMOTE CONTROL ASSEMBLIES split into High Rod (pages 40-43), Low Rod (44-45), Two Lever (46-47), and Solenoid for 1st and Reverse (48-49). Don’t guess which remote style you have. Pull the panel and measure.

For newer transmission models, check out the Dana Spicer ES42-5 1990 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs from our collection. The Dana Spicer T20000 2005 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs covers the later-series heavy-duty units. And if you work on the older T210 series, the Dana Spicer T210 CM55 1991 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs has the details you need.

According to the Automotive Industry Overview, factory documentation like this eliminates variance in part numbering across production runs. The Internal Combustion Engine dependence on correct gearing makes accurate parts identification non-negotiable.

Does This Manual Cover the 6352-B Variant?

Yes, the 1979 catalog explicitly covers 6352, 6352-A, 6352-B, 6352-C, and 6352-D. The RATIO TABLE on page 4-5 includes ratio sets for each suffix. The DRIVE GEAR TABLE on pages 16-18 shows the screw-back bearing cap and sealed bearing cap options that differentiate some variants. The 6352-B with sealed cap is on page 18.

FaQ Section

What transmission models does this catalog cover?

It covers Dana Spicer 6352, 6352-A, 6352-B, 6352-C, and 6352-D main transmissions in the 6000 series.

How many pages and what year?

162 pages, published October 1979.

Does this catalog include torque specifications or overhaul procedures?

No. This is strictly a parts catalog for component identification and ordering. It lists parts with exploded views, dimensions (like clutch housing and bearing cap charts), and tabulated bills of material. For rebuild procedures you need the separate service manual. This manual is your reference for correct part numbers before you order seals, gears, shafts, bearing caps, and shifter assemblies. The CLUTCH RELEASE section alone covers parts dimensions on pages 54-55 and a code table on pages 56-61. The REMOTE CONTROL ASSEMBLIES section (pages 40-49) details high rod, low rod, two-lever, and solenoid configurations. Without this catalog, you risk ordering a part that looks the same but has a different pilot bore or spline count. I’ve seen that mistake cost a shop a full day of teardown and re-order.

Can I use this manual for a 6352-E or later model?

No. The 6352-E and later variants are not listed in this catalog. You need the appropriate later Dana Spicer parts catalog for those. Check the Dana Spicer ES42-5 1990 Parts Catalog – OEM Factory Specs for newer models.

Bottom line: If you touch a 6000-series Dana Spicer main transmission, you need this 162-page parts catalog on your bench. Factory numbering, factory dimensions, and no aftermarket guesswork. Access the Factory Manual.
