I have a 92 250 4x4 getrag. A few weeks ago I changed the fluid in the tranny (5w30) because it wasn't wanting to go into 3rd very smooth. When I looked at the old oil I found a lot of brass shavings and ever since the oil change 4th gear shakes from 35-45 mph don't know why? I've been wanting to put an nv4500 in any way but wasn't planning on doing it so soon. My question is will I have to change the t-case too or will my current one work? And what clutch do you guys recommend? It's my dd and I plan on making 300ish HP with it eventually (as soon as I can afford to). Any help/ advice is greatly appreciated!!

 

Im interested in this as well

 

Me three!

 

You need a 2nd gen bellhousing, flywheel and starter to get the trans mounted. Cant use a 2nd gen t-case because the front shaft is on the wrong side. But I believe the 205 bolts up, you just need a splined adapter.

Here is a place that sales conversions...
New Venture 4500 Conversion Kits

 

That helps a lot!! Thanks . My next questions is I see all these 2wd nv4500's on Craigslist for 500-800$, what's the difference and can they be converted for 4wd use?

 

Im not sure, but I think the case is different. Might be able to run an adapter and different output shaft, but I havent looked at one of each side by side.

 

Ok thanks! Any ideas why my 4th gear would shake bad from 35-45 mph after I change the tranny oil?

 

Could be a bad bearing. The brass shavings are probably from the syncro's. Was there a vibration before the oil change? Are all the u-joints good?

 

It never did it before and the only reason I changed the oil was because it was hard to get it into 3rd but since the oil change the 4th gear problem is all I'm having....that and the clutch sucks ***. The guy I bought the truck from claims he had the tranny and clutch replaced 18 months prior to me buying it, he had no receipts to prove it so I didn't ever really take his word on it.

Alright now that I think about it 4th was sluggish but just till the turbo could get spooled up

As far as the ujoints they appear to be in good shape. But when I changed the tranny oil it looks like it has a leak but I couldn't see where the leak is, I forgot to mention that earlier.

 

Could have been a ghetto rebuild and they didnt replace all the damaged parts, just the basic rebuild kit. Worn parts wear out new stuff quickly.
