Archived NV4500 shifter problems

[SteveMiller]

Ok so I was all happy that I got my new transmission and I go and find out that it has the wrong shifter attachment and now my truck is sitting in parts. :{ I don't want to put it all back together and try to send it back to get the right one and I don't want to use used parts from the old transmission. My thought was it would probably be easiest just to get a new shift handle from a truck that had the attachment type. (98 and up I believe, mine is a 97) That way I could put it all back together with the right stuff and put on a different shifter when I found one.



I have a couple questions. One does anyone have different advise or knowledge that would suggest maybe I shouldn't go that way. Or just advice in general. Anyone know where i might be able to find one? I live in Denver and have checked the local yards and haven't found one so far. I need my truck back up and running asap.



What to do?!?!?

You might want to call Blumenthals in Okla City. They rebuild trannies and have kits and cluitches etc. They are very helpful and are happy to ship overnite. Prices are great. I found their phone on yahoo search after seeing their name in many threads with great reccomendations. R C

More trouble

Got the wrong clutch too!!! Yee Haa Must be my week.



Anyway I have a big question. Does the 24V flywheel have 10 bolts to the crank? My 97 have 8 bolts but the fly wheel I recieved had 10. I wasn't sure how that got screwed up but I'm mostly just curious. Its going back to them and the right one will be shipped to me Monday so I have plenty of time to look at my truck and not drive it.



I'll still need a shift lever but obviously i have a little more time to find one now.



Thanks
