GENERAL INFORMATION
1. This adapter plate is only compatible with Dodge NV4500 transmissions that were used with the gas engines. It
is not compatible with transmissions that were used with diesel applications. The input shaft on the front of the
transmission must stickout 7-1/2".
2. The bearing retainer on the front of the Dodge transmission already has the correct size for the AMC clutch release
bearing. The retainer length must protrude 3.750" from the face of the new adapter plate. It may be necessary
to shorten the retainer in order to avoid any interference with the clutch disc hub. The shortening can be done by
simply hack sawing the retainer to the correct length.
3. Be sure to inspect the new pilot bushing on the tip of the new transmission input shaft. Make sure that the inside
diameter properly matches the Dodge 5 speed transmission. The pilot bushing must be installed into the back of
the AMC engine crank. It may be necessary to shorten the tip of the input shaft in order to prevent bottoming out
in the AMC engine crank. DO NOT FORCE the transmission into position prior to checking the input shaft depth.
4. The clutch release mechanism can either be mechanical or hydraulic. The exact configuration will depend on what
your vehicle was originally equipped with and which type of bellhousing you are using.
5. This adapter plate is designed for the Jeep bellhousings from a T150 & T176 application. Jeep numbers are 8133951
and 3236291. Some of the bellhousings from the Jeep T4, T5, and SR5 have the provision for this bolt pattern which
may be two different ways: (1) The holes are already drilled and tapped, or (2) a die cast pilot hole is provided in
which you would have to drill the bellhousing to install the adapter plate. If these are not an option for your
application you should obtain one of the above Jeep bellhousing numbers.
NOTE: This kit does not work with a stock 4 cylinder bellhousing.
