Hello everybody:

Getting rid of the 518 and installing a nv4500, I am stuck with a np205 w/ a 23 spline input shaft.

2 options: have the transfer case adapter and the transmission adapter machined to accept the bigger dia. of the 29 spline input shaft, bearing et al., or find those 2 parts from a manual truck.

The question is: the transmission adapter (the very first part to bolt to the tranny) is for Getrag transmission, since at the time the np205 + G360 was the setup for manual trucks, does it bolt on just like that to the nv4500?

Thank you all.

 

A thought , I had a 73 ford , it had a divorced tranfercase , mounted to frame with an extra driveshaft , it was the heavy duty granny 4 spd. , with granny low [ very big & heavy ] same with transfercase , this was a big help when needing to work on , even in my auto repair shop , with a trans jack , by myself , the chances of the cheapo jack holding on the that much weight , is not good .
Then any adapters would be , just yokes welded onto drive shafts , get the heaviest of all the parts , and do not worry about adapting .
