The New Venture Gear 4500 , commonly called NV4500 , is a 5-speed manual transmission manufactured by New Venture Gear and used in General Motors and Chrysler products from 1992–2005.
The NV4500 is a very popular 5-speed manual conversion and upgrade transmission in light trucks and SUVs from Toyota, Ford, Jeep, General Motors, and Dodge. Commercially produced adapters are available to mate this transmission with many different engines and transfer cases.
Shared Specifications
Dry weight:195 lbs.
Oil capacity:1 gallon
Max. GVW:14,500 lbs.
Case material:Cast Iron
Synchronizers:Carbon fiber composite
Main/Counter shaft bearings:Timken tapered roller
Lubrication
Special Synthetic gear oil is required for proper operation and lifespan of the carbon composite gear synchronizers.
- These are the ONLY lubricants recommended by New Venture Gear for the NV4500:
- 75W-90 Castrol Syntorque Synthetic (NOT the same as Castrol Syntech)
- Mopar Manual Transmission Lubricant (PN 4637579)
- GM Goodwrench Synthetic Manual Transmission Fluid (PN 12346191 in Canada 10953477)
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT!!
***Use of lubricants not on this list will quickly ruin the synchronizers and will void any remaining warranty on OEM or rebuilt units.
***Oil that directly states Certified Compatibility with the above GM and Mopar part numbers will likely still void any OEM or rebuilders' warranty.Applications
