1st Gen. Ram - All Topics Discussion for all Dodge Rams prior to 1994. This includes engine, drivetrain and non-drivetrain discussions. Anything prior to 1994 should go in here.

I think my trans went belly up - Rebuild, upgrade, or convert?

Auto and manual T cases are different. More than just swapping the coupler which you can't because they don't make a 23 to 29 spline adapter, unfortunately. At least I haven't heard of one. You will also need to shorten your front drive shaft and lengthen the rear.

Is this for NVs only?

Sorry to hear about your truck, Shelby. My vote is for the Getrag - no issues with mine. Hope you get it rolling smoothly again.

$1200 is too much. Half that maybe. Nv4500 needs a 2nd gen engine plate and bell, unless you buy the special A/A bell.

I got my all my nv4500 stuff for $500 and it came with the rest of a parts truck.

Long time no talk!

Meh, bullmess happens. Im open to use either or, I guess it depends on which deal I find first.

Ssaaaay.....I know where I could find a good used GRag, I know of a champagne colored truck parked in a driveway in Texas. I bet a friend and I could unbolt it all and haul it away over night.

Texas is a big state. I bet you would have a hard time finding my driveway, haha.
