Is there a difference between a getrig bellhousing and a nv4500 bellhousing?



Can I use a bellhousing from a getrig to work with a nv4500?

Hey rbertalan!



A different bellhousing is required to maintain the proper transmission location & length. Part of the concern is crossmember attachment & driveshaft length.



Check out Quad 4x4's website dan@quad4x4.com



I've posted this information a few times lately... . I don't have any person affiliation with Quad 4x4 in Roberts MT. It's just that Dan Guarino is one of the most talented & conscientious guys I've ever had the pleasure of meeting & spending time with. He totally rearranged his schedule last summer when my original Getrag gave up while out west on vacation. I knew exactly who to call because of the TDR & all of my expectations were totally exceeded by Dan & his business. Without his consideration & generosity I would have been stuck a long ways from home.



Just my experience... .

Also might check out www.advanceadapters.com and yes you need this adapter housing. The nv4500 trans hole pattern is larger. Tim

if you go to advanced adapters check their garage sale they had one in there for $275 the other week

I am going thru the exact same problem. I am installing a 91 motor and 94 NV4500 into a 78 W300. The problem I have is, the clutch release forks hits the back of the 94 bellhousing. I have heard rumour that I may need a different engine adpater. Having talked to a few people the have installed the quad 4x4 and advanced adapter bell, I decided tp try the other route, costs alot less. Anyone know if the engine adapters are different between early motors and late motors?
