Are you using an original dodge version NV4500? Just wondering if you have taken care of the spanner nut on 5th gear issue? Of the 2 transmissions I have had, both have had the nut back off, one stripped the splines on the mainshaft and 5th gear. Green locktite and a staked nut has kept the second together since it came apart.

Love the build!
