INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove the front bearing retainer on the front side of the GM NV4500 transmission. Inspect the tooth count to make
sure that it is identical to the new shaft that has been supplied with the adapter kit.
2. Cut the snout off as illustrated in the photographs. Make sure that the seal is not damaged or cut in any way.
3. Bolt the retainer and new input shaft back onto the NV4500 transmission. Make sure that the thrust needle bearings are
in the proper position. It may be necessary to change the main shaft shim load depending on the new input shafts grind
tolerances. The main shaft must have .002/.006 end play. The end play adjustment is made from the backside of the
transmission underneath the bearing retainer plate.
FAILURE TO INSPECT END PLAY COULD RESULT IN SEVERE
TRANSMISSION DAMAGE.
4. Bolt the new bearing retainer to the front side of the Advance Adapter plate using the bolts and lock washers provided.
5. Bolt the adapter plate to your new Ford bellhousing using the socket head cap screws. Make sure that the registered
diameter of the bellhousing is the proper size for the new adapter bearing retainer.
6. The transmission can now be assembled to the adapter plate. Make sure that the modified bearing retainer does not interfere
with the new retainer on the front side of the adapter plate. Refer to the photos below for information.
