ADAPTER PACKAGES & INDIVIDUAL COMPONENTS
for 2WD & 4WD FORD TRUCKS
We offer complete NV4500 adapter packages for Ford 4WD full size trucks and list out the components for the 2WD trucks. We
currently offer rebuilt NV4500 transmissions. The Dodge 4WD NV4500 is cataloged under P/N 26-0029R . If you wish to obtain
your own transmission, please refer to the Dodge identification charts for both current and past OEM part numbers. NOTE: On
1999 & newer Dodge transmissions, the handle assembly was changed. Our kit packages are designed for the newest
transmission shifter configuration. If you have obtained a 1998 or earlier transmission, you will need to substitute
P/N 716050D1
with P/N 716050D .
FORD 4WD NV4500 KIT:
Up to 1979, Ford used both the NP203 chain-driven and NP205 gear-driven transfer cases. In 1980, they switched to the NP208
chain-driven transfer case. The early NP203 was normally used as a remote gear box - in which Ford used a short driveshaft
between the transmission and transfer case. The NP205 and NP208 were normally coupled directly to the back side of the
transmission with an adapter housing. These transfer cases have a circular bolt pattern and a 31 spline input gear. The stock
transmission adapters mounted to this transfer case use a 31 spline output shaft. There are different output shaft lengths to
consider when coupling to these two different transfer cases. Our transfer case adapter fits all the different output shaft stickouts;
however, the NV4500 stock output shaft or our spud shaft may require shortening to fit properly. The best way to determine your
requirements is to measure your existing transmission output shaft stickout in relation to the stock tailhousing.
P/N 27-0040T - 29 Spl. DODGE NV4500 to Ford Transfer Case
This packaged kit is designed to be used with a Dodge 4WD NV4500 . The overall length is 27.500”. All Ford transfer cases,
whether NP205 or NP208, always require a 31 spline male input shaft. Over the years, we have seen some variation as to the
required stickout length for Ford 4WD transfer case input splines. This length will vary between .750” to 1.50”. The cutoff length
of the Dodge NV4500 output shaft can be determined by the amount of the desired stickout length of your new 31 spline spud shaft.
We have included a new rubber crossmember support to fit our adapter. The stock crossmember will require some modifications
to bolt to our rubber crossmember support. Also included in this kit is a transfer case shifter linkage bracket. This bracket provides
the mounting hole for the shifter pivot bolt.
The bellhousing adapter plate in this kit retains the stock bellhousing. This kit requires the use of a stock Ford bellhousing
with a 4.848” index diameter. The stock clutch disc must be changed to a 1-1/8” 10 spline to fit the NV4500 transmission.
The necessary clutch components for this conversion can be found in the Ford Adapter Plate section of this manual.

P/N 50-0220 - Dodge 29 spl. NV4500 to Ford NP205/208 T/C adapter
If you obtain a early Dodge NV4500 transmission with a 23 spline output shaft, you will need to replace kit P/N 50-0220 with the
kit listed below.
P/N 50-0207 - Dodge 23 spl. NV4500 to Ford NP205/208 T/C adapter
FORD 2WD NV4500 KIT:
We also offer a list of parts required for Ford 2WD applications. These parts are designed to be used with a Dodge 2WD NV4500 .
We do not carry this model transmission, but we can special order it upon request. The 1998 & newer transmissions do not offer
any type of speedometer provisions. When obtaining your transmission, we recommend that a 1997 & earlier transmission be
obtained.
NOTE: The handle assembly in this kit fits the 1998 & earlier transmission handle configuration. If you have decided
to use a later model transmission without a speedometer drive, then you will need to substitute P/N 716050D with P/N
716050D1 .
The bellhousing adapter plate in this kit retains the stock bellhousing. This kit requires the use of a stock Ford
bellhousing with a 4.848” index diameter. The stock clutch disc must be changed to a 1-1/8” 10 spline to fit the NV4500
transmission. The necessary clutch components for this conversion can be found in the Ford Adapter Plate section of this manual.
We have included a new rubber crossmember support to fit the stock tailhousing. The stock crossmember will require some
modifications to bolt to our rubber crossmember support. This kit requires a slip yoke which can be purchased from your local
Dodge dealership.
