November 30, 20177 yr Author Ok first question my trans came with a early style shift top, are they any count an can i make it work with me 5600 shift handel
November 30, 20177 yr Owner That's a good one. Ummm... Being you dealing with a NV5600 shift handle I'm not sure. Why the need for the NV5600 shift handle?
November 30, 20177 yr Author No id like to use the rod i have found stubbs for the early style top that changes it ti threaded but dont know if my rod will screw on it
November 30, 20177 yr Owner Ahhh... You want to know if the shift lever itself will screw on. As far as what I've seen the towers seem to be all the same thread.
November 30, 20177 yr Author Well where mine is from a 97 model it dont have the tower thats held on with 4 bolts it uses the style with the shifter stubb that just locks in and currently acceps a square lever and i would have to change the stubb to a angled and thredded style and dont know if that will work or not
November 30, 20177 yr Owner That's a problem I'm going to have to say most likely not. As for changing the shift fork lid it might be possible but is it worth it to pull the entire transmission just for a shift lever? Is there a newer version of what you want that you can buy that has the four bolt tower?
November 30, 20177 yr Author Well i can buy a top for it from a couple trans parts plaves however it over $300 the newer style will fit the older no issue was hoping to to save myself $400 for the top and the tower on top of what i will have in the build its self
November 30, 20177 yr Owner That's why I suggesting looking to get a newer style lever. That a lot of cash for changing out a shift fork cover and the trouble of just removing the entire transmission just for a shift lever... Wow. Could you give me a picture of what you are working with? I would like to see what you trying to work with.
November 30, 20177 yr Owner Yeah I've seen the old style push down and twist locks. Hmmm... Just looking at the two small pictures the bolt pattern looks to be the same for the lid. Be careful the lids are 180* from each other.
November 30, 20177 yr Author Patterns are the same gust didnt know if i could get the stubb whats the thread on the 5600 lever
December 12, 20177 yr Author Ive also been seeing alot of people using supposed brass syncros are they real and if so is there any justice to using them or stick to orginal style
Any nv4500 gerus on here i have some questions
