I need a new 5spd transmission
 

My Getrag 5spd transmission fell apart on the freeway. Trans shop says i need a new Tranny. I really need help on finding a transmission, and what can i put on my truck. Can i put a nv 4500 on it. PLEASE HELP!!!

eBay

NV4500 swap is expensive, and honestly not really worth it unless you are running really high horse power numbers. Just get another getrag. Where are you located at? I know a guy who has one, actually he prob has a few of them.

My truck is at a trans shop and the guy can't find a getrag. I am considering doing the swap because i have heard they are way better then the getrag.

Get whatever you can find affordably. I got a whole NV4500 4x4 parts truck for $500 (less cummins) so keep on searching.

I looked at doing a NV4500 swap when my trans went out but the adapter stuff alone was gonna cost like $700. Is yours 4wd or 2wd? The NV4500 is probably a better trans (but it still has issues too, 5th gear nut) but unless you are pushing more than 400 horse or abuse it really badly then stick with getrag. But i understand if you can't find any. If you are anywhere near kentucky let me know because i know where a couple are at.

You dont need special adapters if you get the bellhousing, engine plate, and starter from a donor truck.

Mines a 4wd and i can get a nv4500 for 900$ rewly rebuilt.

It won't just bolt in though. you will need an adapter bellhousing or the adapter plate and bell housing off a newer engine.
