Re: NV4500 swap is underway

Larry,
Is it noisy mostly or more so in 5th gear only? IF so did you happen to grab the Mainshaft 5th gear and rock it back and forth while holding the mainshaft? IT should have a slight press fit and not rock at all. If it does it may have the typical 5th gear wear. The only real fix for this issue is a new mainshaft and mainshaft 5th gear. My nv4500 has this issue so I am expecting it to be noisy, especially in 5th. Mins is currently a 2wd version and is staying that way for now, later I will covert it to 4x4 and will replace the 5th gear/shaft at that time. I do not have the funds for the 4x4 conversion but need the transmission now, so in it goes as is 2WD.
