which tranny ZF 5 or NV4500?
so i am running a small block ZF-5 now in my Bronco and the clutch is just too darn small (its a 10 inch South bend ceramic) and it slips, not bad but i can spin it.
so i need a bigger clutch which means i need a bigger bellhousing, which means i need to change my tranny. just want some opinions on both. bonus to the Powerstroke ZF is no problem mating it to my NP205 transfercase, downside is i need to buy a new adaptor plate. NV is easy and cheaper to get the adaptor plate but i will have to modify my 205 using dodge input shaft to make it work. |
i'd go with the nv4500. they are extremely tough, as long as you fix 5th gear and put the right fluid in it.
idk if its a common problem with the zf5 but i know of a 97 powerstroke that keeps breaking the aluminum tailshaft housing... could just be that he's an idiot n beats the snot out of it:humm: |
I like ZF5 but the NV4500 just seems more tried and true.
|
no one else has an opinion?
|
I have an 11" LUK clutch on my small block ZF.....
Hmmmmm |
Adaptor plates are expensive..... just my opinion I would stick with the NV4500. How hard will it be to modify the NP205?
|
yeah i think i am leaning toward the NV i need to get my hands on a dodge np 205 and see what it will take to put the input shaft into the Ford 205.
|
Sweet dude. Hope it works out for ya :hellox:
|
I was just looking that up about the 205 and according to new procces ford 205 has a 6 bolt pattern just like the 205 that comes behind the getrag and ford 205 has the larger front bearing just like the dodge the down side of the swap that I found was the 29 spline input shaft kits that I was finding were $600+ hope that can help your swap:humm:
|
the zf will be cheaper and just as tough or better than the nv4500. why not use the zf 6 speed
