Advance Adapters AX15 - Manual (Page 7)

Advance Adapters Custom Built (2001 & Newer)
These transmissions are built with a Dodge 29 spline output shaft and a GM input shaft. The transmission is also equiped with
the GM front flat aluminum bearing retainer. We carry this rebuilt transmission under
P/N 26-0029RGM . * The top shifter’s
will vary on these transmission due to core supplies.
Dodge Standard Duty 2WD NV4500 (1993-1998)
These transmissions have the same front bolt pattern and bearing retainer index as the Dodge 4WD NV4500 transmission. The
gear ratios of the Dodge 2WD version are the same as the Dodge 4WD version (1st gear 5.61:1; 2nd 3.04:1; 3rd 1.67:1; 4th 1:1
ratio, and a 27% overdrive). These transmissions use a 7-1/2” long input shaft which allows the use of an adapter plate between
a stock bellhousing and the NV4500 transmission. Identification of this transmission can be obtained by using the identification
charts in this manual. The tailhousing of this transmission is 13” long and uses a slip yoke with 30 splines. This transmission
works great for most 2WD installations since it uses a mechanical speedometer drive. On
1998 Standard Duty 2WD
transmissions, the speedometer pickup was moved from the tailhousing back to the rear axle. If you obtain one of these
transmissions, you will be required to change the tailhousing and output shaft to components from an earlier Dodge 2WD if you
wish to have a working speedometer.
Dodge Standard Duty 2WD NV4500 (1999 & Newer)
These transmissions are identical to the 1993-1998 2WD Dodge transmission with the exception of the transmission shift stud.
Dodge changed the square style shift handle receiver to a metric 14mm threaded stud. On these Standard Duty 2WD transmissions,
the speedometer pickup was moved from the tailhousing back to the rear axle. If you obtain one of these transmissions, you will
be required to change the tailhousing and output shaft to components from an earlier Dodge 2WD if you wish to have a working
speedometer.
Dodge 4WD Heavy-Duty NV4500 (1993-1998)
This transmission is normally used up to the Cummins Diesel. This transmission is best suited for Dodge 4WD Getrag 5 speed
replacements and Toyota Land Cruisers retaining the stock six cylinder engine. We DO NOT advise using this transmission for
other applications unless you are prepaired to change the Heavy-Duty front input and retainer.
Identification of this transmission can be obtained by using the identification charts in this manual. Due to the
interchangeability of other NV4500 components, we recommend that you also verify the following information:
Starting at the front, this Dodge transmission should have an input shaft pilot tip diameter of .750”. The
spline of the input is 1-1/4” diameter 10 spline and protrudes approximately 7-1/2” from the face of the
transmission. This input shaft can be interchanged with other NV4500 input shafts with this 5.61 1st
gear ratio. The front bearing retainer index is 5.60”, and has a snout diameter of 1.75” for the release
bearing. The shifter stud on the top cover is a male square connection. The rear of this transmission
has an aluminum adapter housing which measures approximately 6-1/4” long;
and the output shaft is 29 spline.
Dodge 4WD Heavy-Duty NV4500 (1999 & Newer)
These transmissions are identical to the 1993-1998 Dodge H.D. transmission, with the exception
of the transmission shift stud. Dodge changed the square style shift handle receiver to a metric
14mm threaded stud. We carry this rebuilt transmission under
Part No. 26-0020R . * The top
shifter’s will vary on these transmission due to core supplies.
Dodge 2WD Heavy-Duty NV4500 (1993-1998)
These transmissions have the same front bolt pattern and bearing retainer index as the as the Dodge 4WD Heavy-Duty NV4500
transmission. This transmission should only be used for the Cummins Diesel Getrag replacement. Identification of this
transmission can be obtained by using the identification charts in this manual. The tailhousing of this transmission is 13” long
and uses a slip yoke (P/N 716087) with 31 splines. If you obtain a
1998 Heavy-Duty transmission, you will be required to change
the tailhousing and output shaft to components from an earlier Heavy-Duty Dodge 2WD if you wish to have a working speedometer.
Dodge 2WD Heavy Duty NV4500 (1999 & Newer)
These transmissions are identical to the 1993-1998 Dodge H.D. transmission with the exception of the transmission shift stud.
Dodge changed the square style shift handle receiver to a metric 14mm threaded stud. On these Heavy-Duty 2WD transmissions,
the speedometer pickup was moved from the tailhousing back to the rear axle. If you obtain one of these Heavy-Duty transmissions,
you will be required to change the tailhousing and output shaft to components from an earlier Heavy-Duty Dodge 2WD if you wish
to have a working speedometer.
