How do I remove my Getrag shifter?
How do I remove my Getrag shifter?
Remove the snap ring and pull the shifter straight up. It may take some jiggling and tugging, but it will come out. When you go to put it back in, straddle the hump, push the shifter in and hold it down with the center of your chest so you can push the ring down and re-install the snap ring.
What’s better NV4500 or NV5600?
The NV5600 is the workhorse trans that has tighter ratios (ending with the same final drive) than the NV4500. The gap between 3rd and 4th in my 4500 is considerable, so towing lots of weight uphill takes forethought on what gear you wanna be in/what point you need to shift, but nothing crazy.
When did GM start using the NV4500 transmission?
GM and Dodge first used the transmission in their two-wheel-drive trucks starting in 1992. A four-wheel-drive version was introduced in 2001. It uses a shorter tail shaft to leave more space for a transfer case. The NV4500 was used until 2005 in Dodge trucks, and 2007 in GM trucks.
What do I need to convert my Dodge NV4500 to NV5600?
The shift linkage to the transfer case must be lengthened. The correct linkage is included in our kit. No speedometer modifications are necessary as the 1998 and later Dodge 4wd vehicles use a differential speedometer, and converting to our NV5600 six-speed transmission will not affect the current speedometer readings.
Is the NV4500 transmission compatible with the NP231 transfer case?
Adaptability to the NP231 transfer case can be acheived when using a Dodge 4wd style tailhousing. However, a change of mainshaft or transfer case input shaft will often be required due to spline count. The NV4500 is found in GMC & Dodge trucks.
Do you need to lengthen drive line on NV4500?
Drive line length modifications are required on the 4wd NV5600 conversions. The rear shaft must be shortened about 5 1/2″, and the front shaft must be lengthened about 5 1/2″. A measurement must be made for each vehicle after the transmission/transfer case are mounted in final location, as each vehicle may vary due to wheel base lengths.
