Number 1, what's shown in Post #5 is NOT the cluster, it's the mainshaft, synchronizer assemblies, and it's gears.
The cluster is what is erroneously referred to by some as the the "counter shaft".
The counter shaft is the large "pin" that holds the cluster gear into the case.
Number 2, that heat damage didn't come from pulling alone, that was from long term continual low lubrication at road speeds, "neglect", if you will.
Resting your hand on the shifter while driving down the road can also do this, as well as burn up the shift forks in the top cover.
Given that the transmission is in great physical condition and doesn't have issues, the Getrag will hold the numbers this gentleman has, but you gotta' keep them overfull so the lube gets where it's needed.
You can't run gear lube in them and expect them to last, either, they weren't designed for that type of lube.
The NV4500 also has it's own set of issues, from a power standpoint, mainly mainshaft and 5th gear retention related, plus lube requirements.
Either is a "Light Duty" diesel transmission, which is expected to take people turning them up 200+ horsepower above their original design limits, which they weren't intended to do.

LOL, I didn't say you did it, just the likely causes of why it happened.
Most of us these days know what the consequences of neglecting these trannies can result in.
I've seen perfectly good, well maintained NV4500s with all the best pieces, puke their guts for no apparent good reason.
Sometimes it's just the luck of the draw.
