Bellhousing Adapter

[NOberdier]

Is the transmission adapter used between the cummins and transmission the same from year to year?? Also is it the same one for autos and manuals?? Thanks

I have an '89 auto stock that I put a '92 getrag 5sp in w/bellhousing from the '92 as well, bolted right up.

so I'd say yes, and yes to your ?'s

they are different for lockup converters, when i put a 47re in mine i had to get a different starter and adapter, but could use the same flywheel. as far as manual i dont know. if you need the adapter or starter foe the 727 non lockup pm me and i'll give you a great deal.

i am looking to put a 47rh behind a 4bt so it looks like i need an adapter from a 2nd gen?? is that right?

The non lock-up transmission to engine adapters will not work with the 47RH, there is a fitment issue and it has something to do with the Lock-up No Lock-up converters. I searched in the past and found good info on swapping out the 727 auto for the 47RH. You do need the transmission to engine adapter and the starter for the 47RH also. 1994-95 +/- year models, these can be identified by the color of the elect connector plug on the side of the trans. WHITE is the one you want. The 1996-98 47RE had a Black connector.

Yes, you will need the adapter from a 94+ truck for a 47RH. Check E-bay as there is usually one or two on there for a decent price.

How about going from a non-lockup auto to an nv4500? It looks like the engine adapter is deeper on an Nv4500 and I think the starter is also different.
