TRANSMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The New Holland 5640 features a versatile transmission system with options for 8-speed constant mesh, 16-speed power shift, and synchronized models, allowing for precise control and efficient operation across various terrains. The availability of both two-speed and four-speed configurations enhances adaptability for specific applications, from heavy tillage to transport. However, the complexity of the more advanced models may require a steeper learning curve for operators unfamiliar with power shift technologies.
| Description | 8-speed constant mesh/16-speed two-speed power shift/12-speed synchronized/16-speed four-speed power shift |
TRANSMISSION 1
The New Holland 5640 tractor features an EconoShift constant mesh transmission, offering 8 forward and 2 reverse gears with a dry disc clutch, which enhances durability but requires stopping to change gears. Its oil capacity of 69.6 quarts (65.9 liters) ensures effective lubrication but may necessitate regular monitoring. This design is ideal for tasks requiring precise speed adjustments, but the lack of a synchronized shifting system may challenge operators during frequent gear changes.
| Transmission | EconoShift |
| Type | constant mesh |
| Gears | 8 forward and 2 reverse |
| Clutch | dry disc |
| Oil capacity | 69.6qts / 65.9L |
| Description | Four gears (1-4), plus reverse, in two ranges (L/H). Optional creeper provided a third range. Tractor must be stopped and clutch used to shift gears or range. The eight-speed transmission was only used on the 5640S. |

TRANSMISSION 2
The New Holland 5640 tractor features an advanced dual power transmission system that enhances operational efficiency by providing 16 forward and 4 reverse gears, facilitating optimal torque management during varied agricultural tasks. The two-speed power shift adds versatility, allowing operators to select between direct drive and a lower power range, which can be particularly beneficial for tasks requiring higher pulling power or slower speeds. However, the reliance on a dry disc clutch may present challenges in high-slip conditions, necessitating careful engagement to prevent premature wear.

| Type | two-speed power shift |
| Gears | 16 forward and 4 reverse |
| Clutch | dry disc |
| Oil capacity | 69.6qts / 65.9L |
| Description | Dual Power adds a two-speed power shift between direct drive and the lower Dual Power range to the basic eight-speed transmission. The Dual Power range is engaged by a switch on the dashboard. Dual Power was an option on the 5640S. |

| Description | With 16.9-34 rear tires |
TRANSMISSION 3
The New Holland 5640 features a SynchroShift synchronized transmission with 12 forward and reverse gears across low, medium, and high ranges, enabling smooth gear changes while in motion. However, transitioning between low range and other ranges requires the tractor to be stationary, potentially causing downtime during operations. The option for dual power enhances versatility, converting it to a 24-speed transmission, ideal for varied field or transport tasks.
| Transmission | SynchroShift |
| Type | synchronized |
| Gears | 12 forward and reverse |
| Clutch | dry disc |
| Description | Four gears (1-4) in three ranges (L/M/H) with right-hand shuttle lever. Gear shifts are synchronized. Shifts between medium and high ranges are synchronized, but the tractor should be stopped to shift to or from low range. Sychronized shuttle shifting. The 12-speed SynchroShift was standard on the 5640 SL. Dual power was an option with the SynchroShift, turning it into a 24-speed transmission. |

| Description | With 16.9-38 rear tires |
TRANSMISSION 4
The New Holland 5640 tractor features an ElectroShift transmission with a four-speed power shift, providing 16 forward and reverse gears, which enhances versatility for various applications. Its wet disc clutch offers smoother engagement and better durability under load, though operators must utilize the clutch for range shifts, which may impede quick transitions. The push-button de-clutching system simplifies operation by allowing gear shifts without using the foot clutch, making it advantageous for tasks requiring frequent changes in speed and direction.
| Transmission | ElectroShift/Pulse Command |
| Type | four-speed power shift |
| Gears | 16 forward and reverse |
| Clutch | wet disc |
| Oil capacity | 64qts / 60.6L |
| Description | Four power shift gears arranged in two synchronized ratio groups (1-4 and 5-8). Two synchronized ranges (low/high) and right-hand shuttle. Clutch must be used to shift range or move between the lower (1-4) and higher (5-8) gear ratio groups. Push-button power shifting between the four gears in a ratio group. Push-button de-clutching on the shuttle lever allow shifting without the foot clutch. The 16 power shift was standard on the 5640 SLE. |
