I got a question for the nv4500 swap experts.

Hello, I bought a used transmission today and I need some info on it. I thought it was a nv4500 but I got to looking at the case and it has a NP emblem on it. On the pto cover I can see what looks like 4500 on the identification tag but not for sure yet.

Would a NV4500 have NP cast onto the housing and top cover or is this a different transmission like a np435 or something? Thanks

 

Can you post a picture? the NV4500 is a very distinctive trans, but so you know, there are SEVERAL variations.

 

I'll have a pic in a bit if the internet don't mess up again.

 

Heres a pic, I can get more if needed.

 

Nv4500

 

Thanks, now I'v gotta start getting the adapters found to get it put on.

 

what are the differences if you don't mind my asking

 

Differences between the varoius nv4500's? or between the nv4500 and other models?

 

Here is a good start:

That looks like a NV4500 2 wheel drive From a chev ........
The sticker looks like it might be a AA reman

Can you get a Clear Shot of the Sticker ? If It is An AA reman it may have Serial And you can give them A Call

Its out of a 95 dodge 3500 2wd C/C. (gasser)
The sticker basicaly says if you dont refill the transmission with castrol xxxxxx after removing the cover or installing a pto it will ruin the transmission. I can get a pic though.

 

Also, I have a chevy to put it in If I decide not to put it in the W350

 

You can tell it's from a Dodge gasser by the cutout in the bell housing, where the crankshaft position sensor goes in. That means it was bolted up behind either a 360 V8, or an 8.0L V10. What you need to determine is if a V8 version would be a lighter version of the NV4500 or not. I know there were lighter versions out there; for example the Chev 6.5 diesel had an NV4500 but with a smaller input shaft and a different housing. No idea which one Dodge would've used on the V8s.

 

So the entire cast iron housing could be different from one to another?

 

Believe all Dodges used the Dodge Housing, though at least the Input and Output shafts are different between gas and Diesel. Chevy used a different bolt pattern on the front of the housing through 1995, in 1996 they started using the same cases the Dodges did.
