I ordered all my parts to rebuild mine from zbag, they seemed to have a good price too. They might have the parts you are looking for and know what all you will need. 1-800-658-2537

Just out of curiosity can a NV4500 be converted from 2wd to 4wd. I found 1 the other day for cheap but for a 2wd.

Most any 2wd tranny can be converted to 4wd, or the other way also. Usually the difference is in the main/output shaft and the rear adapter/housing. The rest of the trans is typically the same. So to have a 2wd (insert trans model here) trans you need the 2wd main shaft and rear housing, for a 4wd trans you need the 4wd main shaft and rear housing/adapter.

They have everything I need, I suggest calling them to find out what you can do.

Thanks, Adam
