INSTALLATION PROCEDURES:
This adapter plate will adapt a Dodge standard duty gas type NV4500 5 speed directly to the original Jeep AX4 or AX5
bellhousing. The new transmission input shaft is long enough to maintain the proper clutch spline engagement. The pilot
bushing must be changed to fit the new input shaft. The hydraulic release bearing should be replaced according to all Jeep
service manuals. The Jeep replacement item number is #83503384.
DO NOT ATTEMPT to use the Dodge heavy duty

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES:

2. Modify the stock Jeep bellhousing for slave cylinder hose clearance.
3. Adapter plate must be installed to the bellhousing using the two special dowels.
4. Install the nine (9) flat head bolts into the bellhousing using 15-20 ft./lbs. of torque.
5. Assemble the transmission to the adapter plate using the new bolts provided.
6. Install the new split pin into the steel plate in order to keep hydraulic bearing from rotating.

bellhousing.

1-1/8"-10 spline. Centerforce clutch disc Part No. 383824 will be required for the new installation.
