Hey I am from Maine and am at the stage where I need a Nv4500 transmission for my project truck, its gotta be 4wd, preferably 96 and up but I am flexible.

Shipping is brutal to move this several hundred pound boat anchor so I rather drive to get it ha ha. LEt me know if you got one and where your at. I think i would go as far as Mass.

Good luck with that. Your better off buying a new, rebuilt from someone like AA. Anything you find is going to need going thru. Why not spend a little more up front and get a good one with a warranty?

I rather buy a used one a rebuild it myself, it wouldnt be my first manual tranny rebuild and i save near a thousand dollars, i am only 19 and am a full time college student so i dont have excessive funds to throw away on my project truck, its being kept on a budget.

I think what he means is you are going to be very hard pressed to find one at all.... they weren't very common in the first place and now they are in high demand for swaps. I dont blame you, I am in the same boat of saving money and wanting to do the work myself... but they are basically unobtanium in the low cost used state you are looking for. If you can find a used truck for sale with a blown engine and an NV4500, that would probably be your best bet.

Top covers are easily available and fairly inexpensive. The shift tower will be worn out anyway and you'll need a new top over.

Does anyone know if a 1992 1500 W/T with a V6 had a NV4500 or a NV3500 in it? All of the literature I have found says it has a 5 speed OD tranny, but not which one. There is one coming up at a storage unit auction, but I don't think I will be able to enter the unit to see which tranny it has. Hopefully I can pick it up for the value of the trany or less, since it doesn't come with a title.

As far as I know all half tons had the nv3500 and only 3/4 and 1 tons have the 4500.
