nv4500 tailshaft
im looking to do a manual conversion in my 96 but i need to know if i can use a 4wd trans and put a 2wd tailshaft on it to make it work
|
not without tearing the tranny apart
the 4wd output is shorter than the 2wd you will need to swap them out |
you'd have to change output housing and mainshaft. There is no output shaft.

i have a 2wd tailhousing and mainshaft out of an nv4500. if you want it shoot me a pm.
|
i will trade you 2 weel for 4 weel shaft and tail housing. but changing is a major teardown.
|
honestly your better off just getting a 4wd setup with the transfer case and just let the transfer case be there for if you ever wanted to convert to 4x4. when you buy the trans from a salvage yard its gonna cost about 100 bucks more to get a 4x4 one with the t-case vs a 2wd unit.

if its that big of a tear down ill just buy a 2wd trans bc i never plan on going to a 4wd so i dont want to do that

if you don't plan on doing a conversion, I'd recommend a 2wd trans if you can find one for a comparable price. I swapped mainshafts for a different reason, but in the end it was some money. I'm always an eff it I'll give it a try myself guy, but on that i still paid a professional to press in most of my bearings and adding that up by the time i was done I must have spent at least $300. The nv4500 is a simple transmission, but all that stuff is spinning fast under a lot of load. If your a machinist I'm sure you could do it no problem, but without the specialty tools you won't be feeling 100% about it when its done IMO.
