NV4500 - NV5600 Questions!!
 

So I pretty much totally blew the nv4500 5spd in my truck :(....
I really like driving the nv5600 6spd trucks better...

So here is what I found... A NV5600 6spd. with a bad 2nd gear syncro for $1130.00 shipped to my door. The truck it came out of has less than 90,000 miles on it.

Here are my questions..
Is it a good deal?

How much for a 2nd gear syncro?

Can I use my transfer transfer case with the 6spd?

And what all do I need extra to make it work?

I have a brand new south bend clutch & input shaft for my 5spd.. Is there any market to sell them used with very few miles on them..

I can buy a rebuilt nv4500 off ebay with a 1 year warranty & the upgraded 5th gear fix for $1275 Shipped..

What would you guys do? Need to make up my mind fast:tu:

NV4500 would be easier you have all the stuff for it already. If you go six speed you will need the 13 inch clutch/flywheel around 900 dollars for a medium range HP clutch. If you wanna sell the old NV4500 I would be interested.

Just put the 5th 5spd and 6th clutch in my moms 97:dang::argh: So if you have the coin since its already apart I would swap in the 6spd. Much tougher trans IMHO.

How much would the blown nv4500 & clutch & input shaft & flywheel be worth?

got any pictures, what blew out lol :bomb:

You my need the old NV4500 for a core (if you stay with the 4500) most times the price people give is for an exchange transmission.

I will post some a lil later

What kind of power are you putting down? Intended use for the truck?

good luck finding a synchro for the 6 spd!!!!!

They aren't so hard to come by. . . . . . . :w2:




When you say you have the new input from South Bend, I am assuming its the 1 3/8" input. If so that means you HAVE to have the 13" clutch therefore the 6 speed will take the same clutch. Just change the transmissions and I think the crossmember.

I also heard through the grapevine the driveshafts also need replaced/modified
