It was Valair that ordered it, and just smoked it a few weeks, or maybe a month ago. I'll find the thread

Contact Valair1 for more details, but here is his last grenade session.

This is where he got the transmission that he just smoked.

Here is a guaranteed 5th gear fix.

that was me, heres the link to the site i ordered mine from

High Impact - NV4500 5spd

I think All Transmission in Portland Oregon has the update kit too. They mainly deal with NV4500, or at least that's they're biggest rebuilds.

whats all involved in doin this...besides removing the t-case and the tail housing

 

[Construction Hillbilly]

Its nothing hard once you get in the tranny all you need is an allen wrench and a small hammer adn chisel is all i used once you get the tail housing off just slide the gear back into place and dodge had some kinda pattern for tighting the small bolt on the nut ill see if i can find the paper work i got with the new nut but all you have to do other then that is i put some lock tight on it and thread the nut back on then hammer and chisel to tighting it up then everything goes back together pretty simple mine took two days waiting on a new nut from dodge because they told me they had a new style that wouldnt come off as easy same nut came in 2 days adn $100 later.

thanks hillbill the only reason im thinkin new trans is because i have alot of play while in gear so its starting to wear and im affraid if i start to pull if it will hold or not
