I have a 1991 W250 and i wont to get a NV4500 in it. I have a getrag 360 in there now but wonder if the NV4500 is a direct bolt in to the motor and transfer case (205), or if some conversions must be made. What do they usually run at, i can get one for $1000 Can. rebuilt.


thanks

Jeff

 

check out advance adaptors. They had every thing I needed and my conversion was from an auto.

 

hey freddy-
how much did it cost you to convert from an AT to the 5 spd? i am thinking about doing that over the holidays. i was wondering what i could expect to pay if i had it done for me vs. doing it myself.

 

I did this in the truck before this one, very easy if you have some tools and a tranny jack. One word of advice get the cast iron adapter between the Tranny and transfer case, I replaced the alumiunum one 3 times then sold the truck. after which I find they noww make a cast iron one.

Here's a link showing some prices:

It's not a direct bolt up but these guys have a complete kit that includes the tranny, bell housing, mounts, etc. for about $2400 with a $500 refundable core charge. Fwiw. Chuck

 

I have done the conversion a couple times and it required a different bell housing, and some milling on the input shaft.

 

I found a doner truck with most of the parts I needed. It cost me about 3500 cdn but I used a new rear drive shaft and replaced the tcase instead of doing the machining.

 

Cdodgeguy there is a fair amount of piddly labour that goes into this conversion so you will save an awful lot of money doing it yourself. Besides you will have the satisfaction of knowing that is done right.
