thanks for all the info the probiblem was the drive line linkage between the tranny and transfer case yoke bareing went you and welded its self and the other shattered i replaced the yokes and got a np205 i am going to rebuild but it look like i want to get a good tranny with a over drive gear what would you recommened
We already did that - read the posts in this thread.
yes i read the the nv 4500 is a trany with an overdrive
but it has a flaud 5th gear and i have heard that they crap out on the OD
what if any other trannys are a better choice if you had to make one
with a np205 rthat i am getting in soon
Spicer 3053a out of a Deuce is a good choice, although you'll need to find a bellhousing. You pretty much can't break one of them in something like an M715.
The NV4500 is a fine transmission though, and quite a few members here run them without any problems. Keep the correct fluid in them and don't abuse them any worse than anything else and you'll be fine.
Is your 205 married or divorced? Makes a difference on available choices.
non-overdrive sm465 (married or divorced)
overdrive nv4500 (married or divorced)
overdrive spicer 3053a (divorced only)
BTW, the chevy nv4500 doesn't have the 5th gear problems like the dodge versions.
i was told that the nv 4500 also has pto provisions
you can put a pto on the nv4500, sm465, 3053a and the np205 transfer case.
There are two pto ports on a NV4500. Good luck finding a pto for less than $500 though. I have never even seen a listing for a two speed or reversible NV4500 either.
A NP205 with a pto has as many speeds as your transmission and is reversible.
I got a nv4500 pto from a guy in Bryan last month for $150. How lucky is that? single speed-non-reversible.
You shouldn't be invading my home area getting that kind of stuff. Actually, I am glad to see they are coming up on the market now that those trucks are getting salvaged out. Since none were around when I put mine in back a few years ago. That is good.
