Re: manual tranny options?
NV4500 is what you want if you have big power it its moderate some guys are using the nv3500. here is a good post on the swap http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=212959
Hope this helps.

Re: manual tranny options?
Yes Advanced adaptors sells a bell housing that works with the manual clutch set up. I have been thinking about selling my stock nv4500 bell housing and using theres I cant make up my mind if I want the hydrolic clutch under the hood. Ive been trying to come up with a way to hide it under the dash.

Re: manual tranny options?
is it an overdrive? I was under the impression that is a one to one 5th gear, and a real deap first. (which, IMO is better anyways)

Re: manual tranny options?
nv35/4500's are a truck transmission. If you want more of a car type trans for racing, or just street cruising, go with the TKO.

Re: manual tranny options?
thanx for the classic chevy link, i looking into a 500 because it a little cheap then the 600, never the less i will probaly use a tko600 and spend a little more just in case i decide to go mad with the engine,the nv35/nv45 are big for my tastes i run a muncie now and i like the fact that they are light(i picked mine up by myself yesturday) and you have alot of room around them, i read that you need to have them alighned to you bellhousing, whats all involved in this, i thinking about selling my 58 apache to fund this swap, don't want to but might have to i like the idea of over drive though

I'm a part of the above thread ... I had the chance to drive my truck with the NV4500 that I mention in it. I had my GPS unit with me, yesterday, so I could gauge my rpm's-MPH. Here's what I saw ... 2000 rpm = 60 MPH 2500 rpm = 75 MPH Yes, the "REAL" 1st gear is ultra low. Using the stock master-slave cylinder. Had to mock up a piece to get the master cylinder's "plunger" lined up with my clutch pedal. Works great with an appropriate amount of effort and throw. By no means do I see this as a "street" or "strip" setup, but it is functional and durable. Burned about 1/4 of a tank for 120 mile round trip. Thanks, Dave |

Re: manual tranny options?
The Richmond "6" is a 5+o/d.They are spendy,though.I`d like one of those or an M-series w/Gear Vendors.That would be awesome.

Re: manual tranny options?
i priced a GV-OD, it would be nice then i could split all the gears, like the dad's 389 peterbuilt(maybe not) but for the price i could get a brand new all in one trans that would require less fab to install i like the richmond 6 but wow thosae are expensive

Re: manual tranny options?
I agree.Dollar-wise,the Richmond 6spd would be the easiest and cheaper route.I`d like a GV in my`92 K3500 with a NV4500.It`s a marine-prepped 6.5TD with 300hp.Theres no wastegate on the medium duty turbo and the inj.pump is puttin`the coals to it.It makes best power above 2,000rpm,kinda laggy(and smokey)below that.I`m just wasting fuel and losing power.If I could split gears I could keep it in "the range",like the heavy trucks.I love going 1st to 2nd to 3rd,but then it`s drawn out.A six speed would be better.
