Is the NV4500 a good street option?
I've been trying to read up on the NV4500. Seems like it would be a really nice tranny for a bigger truck, 3/4 or 1 ton. How about for a shortbed 1/2 ton to be driven not worked. I understand that they are bullet proof, but what about the ratios. Is it very street friendly?
I can get a '92 NV4500 out of a 1 ton truck for $300 with the bellhousing. It sounds like a good deal, but I'm not sure it's what I want in my truck. It looks like the ratios would be something like this: First Gear 6.34 Second Gear 3.44 Third Gear 1.71 Fourth Gear 1.00 Fifth Gear 0.73 Reverse 6.34 I don't think I want to keep my 3 speed, but I want to stay with the manual trans.
