Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Any difference in NV4500's?

[NScott]

Today I called a salvage yard that had a 99 NV4500 out of a V10, I asked if it would fit a 96 with 6BTA 5. 9 and they said their Hollander interchange said the V10's and the diesels were the same. BUT they said there was a difference between the 94-97's and the 98-2002's. What gives here? I don't know of any difference other than maybe the shifter sticks. Does anyone have any info about this. I run several of these and need to keep a "spare" ready to go that will fit them all to eliminate down time.

I believe the transmissions are the same. I think the differences are in the shifter and shifter rails. I think in 98 they made the shifting pattern more user friendly.

Differences

94 - 97 have a different shift tower requiring a different shift benzel (shift lever). They also have the bosses drilled to except the 4x4 shift linkage. The reverse gear is a little lower (I believe).



It is not to hard to make a 98 never work in an older truck or viceaversa.
