NV4500 swap 1987
Has anyone done a SM465 to a NV4500 swap recently ? I am currently doing this on my 1987 K30. Most of it is going well and the trans. mount and drive lines fit perfect. I had a question on the studs that A.A. supplied with the spacer. I believe I read somewhere that they were too long. Anyone have any info ? Thank you

are you referring to the transfer case adapter?

i used red thread locker on the all thread / studs to help hold them in the case .
as much as they get for there crap you would think we would be getting real studs by now . even with the spacer you need to cut a chunk out of the nv4500 adapter to clear the shift rail and linkage . pic looking down at the case from up in the cab . |

I put the spacer on and I'm thinking that they really need to do some more engineering on it. I will have a friend that owns a machine shop around the corner, clean this up for me before installing. I have already cut and trimmed the end of my NV4500 where it meets this adapter. I also extended the Transfer case lever bracket and made a L shape on the end. It fits perfectly with bolt hole at about 2:00 position.

What year 205 do you have. The newer style (86-87) take a different spacer /ring. Mine has the 6 bolt, round front.

my friends was the 6 bolt round setup .
we used a offroad design twin stick kit . if you have not make a 2 bolt tab that pickup the 2 bolts for the tail adapter to main case to help triangulate the shifter lever setup bracket . unless you picked up other bolt holes further up the side of the case . |

I wished I had a working tranny jack. That must have helped. I used my forklift with a pallet strapped to the end of my forks. It actually worked nicely.

i use the Trans jack for gas tanks / trans / t-cases / support axles when doing suspension work / all sorts of stuff . this one is almost like a GREY automotive unit but 400 bucks cheaper . i know were the cheaper is ...... the table and its adjustment points are sloppy compared to a GREY unit .

MacGyver would have been proud of me and my engineering.
