Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) NV4500, 3rd gear w/happy foot : )

Picture of 3rd gear after a 30mph power brake to full boost with 500HP, kinda ugly and expensive. I guess they were having fun while it lasted, I think 1.5 times:-laf

yeeeeeeehhhhhaaaaawwwwww.Thanks sucks, but a good chunk a change for you. If you have any upgrades in mind im also in the market for good ideas. By the way is gear noise in 4th and 5th normal for the nv4500. Ive heard yes and no and sometimes. Just had mine rebuilt, shifts fine and solid but has a constant noise through the upper gears.

What's the price tag on the cluster? Can you even still get that stuff?

Little bit of JB Weld, polish the tooth flanks, good to go!

Either that or just put it back together, never mind 3rd gear. Use it like a manual Powerglide.........

Yes, it is still available NVG OEM, but it commands a high price. $450 for the counter shaft (all one piece) and $300 for the main shaft 3rd gear. Chrysler spec. after market (Korea) is $310 for the counter shaft and China aftermarket is $265. I think the Korea one is a good shaft but this young guy is gonna get OEM stuff and no warranty for breakage

Yup, fill it up with 85/140 and some saw dust, should be okay

Yikes, I bet it made a funny sound! :--)

Those aren't terrible prices. I thought I was going to have a video treat though.

Agreed, a video of the power braking carnage would be outstanding.
