5-Speed Trans Question
Hey guys,
I'm new to the board. I just picked up my '71 from SWB (it was listed in the For Sale ads on here) a couple of weeks ago. I've got a few things I'm contemplating. The truck came with a 350/Powerglide combo whan I got it. It runs good, but it tops out at around 60. (Originally a 6 cyl/stick.) I would like to go back to a stick eventually and was wondering about running a mid-90's Chevy 5-speed. My father-in-law had a '93 with the 350/5-speed combo and that seemed like a nice combo. Here's my questions: 1. What's the offical designation for that tranny (I think it was a NV 3500). 2. It was probably a hydraulic clutch, but was it a slave cylinder that could be replaced with a bellcrank and linkage or will I have to convert to hydrualic? 3. Is anybody running this combination? Any pictures? Thanks, Brent |

NV 3500 should be correct if it has the integral bell housing. Yes it was hydraulic. Anything is doable but I think it would be a challenge to convert it to manual. There is at least one thread on it somewhere on here. I just picked up a 5 speed out of a full size '88 Chev PU to put behind the big block in my '69 but I won't be swapping it until I get the '71 4x4 done. You might try the Google search box at the top of the page. Click on the circle in front of the 67-72chevytrucks.com then type in 5 speed. Oh, and to the board LockDoc
