Advance Adapters 712576 - Manual (Page 2)

RETAINER INSTALLATION:
The stock GM NV4500 transmission used an internal release bearing that mounts to the front aluminum bearing retainer housing.
Kits purchased before May 7, 1999, used a modified Dodge retainer (which was supplied in the kit). This retainer replaced the
GM aluminum retainer and provided the proper configuration to utilize the new release bearing assembly. If this bellhousing
was purchased with the intent to use a Dodge transmission with a new input shaft, your stock retainer must be modified. See
below for machining specifications.
Kits purchased after May 7, 1999, will retain the stock GM aluminum bearing retainer and will use P/N 716067A to obtain the
proper configuration. Part No. 716067A is a modified retainer that bolts to the stock GM retainer. We switched to this design
due to the fact that the stock Dodge retainer (used on the earlier kits) were no longer accessible.
Part No. 716067A is machined to index over the stock GM aluminum retainer. Once the retainer is indexed, rotate the 716067A
to line up with the two drilled & tapped holes located on the GM retainer. Using the two (2) 6mm fasteners & Loctite #242, secure
the 716067A to the GM retainer. NOTE: We have seen some aftermarket GM aluminum retainers that have a larger index hub.
This hub measures 4.408". Our retainer is machined to fit the stock GM retainer which measures 4.398". If our P/N 716067A
does not fit the aluminum hub on the NV4500 retainer, then one of the pieces will be required to be machined for proper indexing.
