The NV4500 is used in light trucks and SUVs including Toyota, Ford, Jeep, General Motors, and Dodge. Commercially produced adapters are available to mate this transmission with many different engines and transfer cases.
The main two variations were the NV4500LD, used in GM gas and Dodge diesel applications, and the NV4500HD, used in Dodge light duty trucks with the Cummins Turbo Diesel and the V10 Magnum gas engine.
Its dry weight is 195 pounds (88 kg), and its oil capacity is about a gallon. The maximum GVW of the transmission is 14,500 pounds (6,600 kg), and the case material is cast iron. The synchronizers are made of carbon fiber composite, and reverse was un-synchronized until 1996.[1]
Lubricationedit
Synthetic gear oil is required for proper operation and lifespan of the carbon composite gear synchronizers.
