NV 4500

Its been jumping out of 5th for about two years now so I guess I got all the good out of it. lol  Any good trans places out there? I found Allstate Gear here in San Antonio but 1700.00 seems a little much.

That's about right. I paid $1,800 for my beast to be rebuilt when I broke the mainshaft.

 

Also pick up a bucket of Mobile 50 SAE Transmission Fluid Synthetic GL4. Much cheaper than the dealer stuff and works much better.

straight 50w ?   I am still running amsoil. I been missing out on a lot since I quit hanging around.

I forgot you run AMSOil. The dealer provided fluid is no longer produced. So I've jump into the same fluid used in Eaton Fuller transmissions and working very well. Just a heads up that Dealer fluid is no longer produced.

@jlwelding Did you get your nv4500 from Allstate gear in San Antonio? Was curious what your experience was with them. I'm looking a new tran or rebuild tran, as syncros are bad on 3rd gear on mine, getting worse. San Antonio is closest place to me for that sort of thing.

Mike where did you pick this up at?  How much is needed to fill (over fill as I see most do) the NV4500.

I got mine at the shop that rebuilt the transmission. Weller Truck - Boise, Idaho. I know NAPA sells the 50 SAE transmission fluid as well Valvoline brand and I think there own store brand (NAPA) as well. It's a GL-4 Synthetic gear lubricant. I'm heading towards 30k miles no discoloring, no carbon syncro in the fluid, shifting well.

 

5 gallons for $134... That's cheap compared to Dealer fluid at $125 for a gallon. Double check that its GL-4 synthetic.
