AK Wanted: sm465 to np205 coupler sleeve - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

kilomanjaro · 06-20-2011, 12:48 AM

I am looking for a coupler sleeve for the adapter from a sm465 to np205. This is just the 10 spline sleeve, not the entire adapter. The one I have has some wear on it. I know you can get aftermarket ones for about $75, but they don't seem to be machined in quite the same way as the originals. The originals have a groove cut across the transmission end to help gear oil pass into the coupler. I would think that is important, but you don't see it on the "new" ones. Anyhow if anyone has one in very nice shape, I would be interested. Thanks
John

Are the three speed sleeves the same?

Jim

kilomanjaro · 06-20-2011, 10:48 AM

I don't know for sure, but I would doubt it. I don't think 3 speeds had np205's behind them did they?

John

yes..had a 71 gmc with one

kilomanjaro · 06-20-2011, 04:40 PM

Maybe it is the same sleeve...can you email me the length of it and post a picture?
John

pickupman · 06-20-2011, 06:55 PM

pretty sure they are different, I think the 3 spd were longer. If not got a pile of them.

JimKshortstep4x4 · 06-20-2011, 08:14 PM

John,

The sleeve is still in the adapter which is still attached to the 3 speed transmission. I suspect the sleeves are the same as the adapter is the same length as the SM 465. I can remove the sleeve to take some measurements
but pickupman can probably give you a quicker answer as to the length and diameter. Mine measures approximately 3" long when measuring from the inside.

If pickupman can't do the measurements, then I can pull mine apart and let you know. I will watch the post to see if you get an answer from him.

Jim

pickupman · 06-20-2011, 08:28 PM

John, will see if I can find one tomorrow eve and get you a length

navysnipe · 06-20-2011, 08:28 PM

Try these guys:

http://www.quad4x4.com/New_Process_NP205_Parts.html

They have alot of rare and hard to find stuff, including the coupler for a 205 to sm465. I didn't get lucky I had to change the main shaft in my SM465 along with getting a second hand coupler off of fleabay. That was before I found out these guys sold them. They even had the metal gaskets and parts for my Dana/Spicer blue dial hubs.

navysnipe · 06-20-2011, 08:30 PM

I forgot to say that the guys from quad 4x4

http://www.quad4x4.com

are also very friendly on the phone.

kilomanjaro · 06-20-2011, 09:34 PM

I will probably go with one of quad4x4's if I can't find an original. Like I said the only difference is the oiling groove on the transmission end, I would rather have an original with one.
John

*mrdana60* · 06-20-2011, 11:33 PM

i have a new one from the dealership. ten spline pm me if intersted thanks

snj8198 · 06-20-2011, 11:34 PM

I have an original from my gently used '79 that had 51,000 miles when I pulled the trans and t-case. I wont be back to town until Friday though. Could that work for you?

-steve

kilomanjaro · 06-20-2011, 11:53 PM

I am out of town from tomorrow until sunday, time isn't a problem. Can you shoot me a picture and a price? As long as there isn't any wear on the internal splines I am interested.

ok I will check it out.

snj8198 · 06-26-2011, 02:52 AM

I haven't forgot about you John. Pics are still coming. Monday hopefully.

kilomanjaro · 06-30-2011, 12:55 PM

Steve, just wanted to touch base on the coupler. I am not in a rush...just checking.

Good Lord I am so sorry John. I am not a slack ass, really. School and work take me out of town and I get tied up at times.

Here's the pics I promised. Both sides. This coupler was from my 1979 Scottsdale Sport with 51,000 miles on it before I ehem, roled it. All the drivetrain was tight and as you can see in the pic no wear. Does $60 plus shipping sound fair?

Again I am very sorry to keep you waiting.

kilomanjaro · 07-02-2011, 12:41 PM

It looks good....let me think on it for a day or so and I will get back to you. Thanks

I've been looking at shipping costs from and it looks like if i get it in the mail Tuesday you could have it Friday or Saturday for $5 and change. I figured shipping would have been worse than that so I'd do $60 shipped. That should help you think better.

kilomanjaro · 07-04-2011, 01:10 AM

I can get a new one off eBay for $70 shipped....if you would do $50 shipped to me by usps priority mail that would be fine with me. It should fit in a small flat rate box which costs about $5. Let me know.

The internal C-clips are installed and in good shape on this one. $55 shipped and I'll accept the PayPal fee if you choose to go that route. Hope all is well in Palmer. I sure miss the Kenai Peninsula.

kilomanjaro · 07-04-2011, 12:40 PM

That is fine. I'll send the pay pal payment through the personal option so you don't have to pay the fee. let me know what address to send pay pal to. Thanks and please ship to

Sounds good John. I'll PM you my Paypal account. USPS says if I get this shipped out tomorrow morning the package should get to your zip Friday. I'm not sure if that means they will have it to your zip or if you will have it in hand Friday, but I will find out when I mail it tomorrow and let you know.

kilomanjaro · 07-04-2011, 02:17 PM

I'm sending pay pal now. Thanks
