GM BELLHOUSING FOR USE WITH
1996 GM NV4500 TRANSMISSION
NOTES
In 1996, GM changed the NV4500 transmissions to an internal
hydraulic release bearing design. These new transmissions
have an aluminum bearing retainer installed on the front of the
transmission case. The bolt pattern on the transmission is the
same as the Dodge NV4500. In February of 1996, Advance
Adapter's introduced this new bellhousing as a solution to
installing these transmissions back to a conventional clutch
release arm design. The bellhousing adapter kit includes a new
Dodge bearing retainer that has been modified for use with a
stock GM clutch fork. If you are purchasing this item as an
adapter kit and are going to be installing your new bearing
retainer onto your transmission, it will be your responsibility
to verify proper main shaft end play. Refer to the service
manual for the correct procedure in determining the proper pre-
load.
DUST COVER INSTALLATION
The dust cover that we have furnished with this kit will fit all
Chevy engines up to 1986. If your engine is 1986 or newer and
used the large rear main seal, you will need to modify the inside
diameter of the steel sheet metal plate to allow for clearance
around the rear main seal area.
**SPECIAL PILOT BEARING NOTE:
Due to variations in both the transmission input shaft length
and bellhousing depth, it will be the customer's responsibility
to verify pilot bearing engagement from the new transmission
input shaft tip.
NOTE:
We have found that when using the Zoom brand clutch
assembly and other "High Hat" style clutch assemblies, we
have encountered interference with the clutch arm. The only
modification for Zoom clutches would be to reduce the thick-
ness of the flywheel. These style clutch pressure plates are not
recommended for use with this bellhousing.
BOOT NOTE: The throw out arm boot provided in this
bellhousing kit was designed for a Jeep throw out arm. The
arm provided in this kit is a Chevrolet arm. The boot may need
to be modified for the correct arm location in the boot.
Most 1997 & up GM 4.3L V6 engines had a
larger crank I.D. The pilot bushing in this kit
requires a steel sleeve, P/N 716155.
NOTE: If our bellhousing does
not index over the front retainer
and the retainer is aluminium,
you could have an aftermarket
retainer. The stock NV4500 re-
tainers should measure 5.5957"
to 5.5977" in diameter. Some
aftermarket ones were .003" to
.007" larger in diameter. If this
is the case, you would need to
modify your retainer to fit our
bellhousing.
