Default 5sp to 6spd?

Is it possible to swamp a NV4500 for a NV5600 ?

I don't see why you couldn't
IMO personally I wouldn't NV went out of business a while back and if anything goes out it would be easier to get replacement parts for the 4500 do to the fact that they were more widely built through out the years

more than just drive shaft, you have to change either t-case or t-case input shafts, longer front driveline, shorter rear driveline, new clutch, flywheel and it aint cheep about 5k on the average swap

i dont know if a 6 spd is more durable than a 5 spd but if you trash a 5 spd it is cheaper to rebuild than the 6 spd
