what do i need to look for do all manuals fit to the transfer case will my bell housing from my auto fit the manual what are you doing you mention a bellhousing from your automatic. are you planing on swaping out an automatic tranny for a manual tranny if so good luck! dont forget shift linkage clutch linkage. bellhousing flywheel clutch and computer controls. if you really want a manual tranny sell your truck and buy one! greg .

covered this before. cant sell a truck with no transmission auto broke. it is almost paid for i do not want more payments. truck is already heavily modified. i have talked to several sources and cost would be about the same as a rebuild from shop which would just go out again 40-60k down the line. clutch is hydraulic and holes are already their so no big deal. flywheel bell housing and pedals from junkyard clutch from autozone ecm from somewhere auto shift column can stay put just remove the handle and linkage. it looks as if the 4500 shifts from the top and again the hole in floor is already there.what else do you see to be a problem every one likes to suggest selling your truck but that solution is not always easy or possible. what do i need to look for do all manuals fit to the transfer case will my bell housing from my auto fit the manual what are you doing you mention a bellhousing from your automatic. are you planing on swaping out an automatic tranny for a manual tranny if so good luck! dont forget shift linkage clutch linkage. bellhousing flywheel clutch and computer controls. if you really want a manual tranny sell your truck and buy one! greg .

as i am a glutton for punishment 1 more question. is there any difference in the tail end of the standard tranny on a 2wd as opposed to a 4wd in other words do they interchange because of the xfer case before i get flamed for lack of technical prowess i have not physically seen any yet and am just asking to save research time. .

yes it is completely different. the 2wd has and extension housing for the main shaft while the 4wd has an adapter housing and probably a different shorter main shaft as well. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving as i am a glutton for punishment 1 more question. is there any difference in the tail end of the standard tranny on a 2wd as opposed to a 4wd in other words do they interchange because of the xfer case before i get flamed for lack of technical prowess i have not physically seen any yet and am just asking to save research time. .

well if it is so easy do it! dont forget a wiring harness and figure in some time and money for the unforeseen to get this hogepoge togather. i always allow for problems when starting a project. i already learned that the hard way. the problem here is that you have no idea of the possible problems that you may run into. but i do question your knowledge and then your ability to do this swap i managed to install a body lift 5 suspension lift 3/4 ton axles and custom stereo system myself so i am pretty sure i can handle it these are all mickey mouse jobs compared to the one that you are planning to undertake. when you have to ask if the bell housing from your auto will fit a standard tranny! i havent been able to look under the truck or hunt for a standard due to the heavy rains so i was using an alternate form of research. is that such a bad idea i am sure i would be able to tell by looking if i could right now. a tranny shop on the internet said i might be able to use my existing one which sounded odd to me but it doesnt hurt to ask or so i thought. and this would be your first problem. just looking isnt gonna tell you shit. although they may look the same doesnt mean that a few of the trans mounting bolts might not be in slightly different locations. then there is the small fact of mounting points for the clutch components or access for the hydraulics. many people tend not to add the labor costs and aggravationeven if it is their own time and aggravation into the equation. he will soon find that it is not worth the trouble although by then it will be to late. i hate automatics. then why did you buy one they go out constantly and are too expensive to repair. that is not always true and if properly maintained seem to do quite well. there will be little labor cost as i am doing it myself. then you consider your time worthless i was told the axle swap wasnt worth the trouble and it damn sure was. an axle swap is easy compared to what you are trying to do. truck has brakes way better than stock now and 4.10 gears to boot. not to mention heavier hubs and ball joints. while that may be true what you are now attempting is much harder to do but lets talk about that a little. iirc you have a 1500 4x4 with an automatic. the bell housing for an automatic will probably not be usable with the nv4500 and will need to be replaced. then there is the pilot bushing / bearing that will also probably also need to be replaced since i doubt that a torque converter needs the same thing as a clutch. btw is this a 360 engine with its external balancing either way you need to replace the flex plate and torque converted with a flywheel and the 360 has special needs. now since 1500 and 2500/3500 use different frames and the nv4500 was never offered in the 1500 series there is a chance that the mounting points between a nv3500 and nv4500 are different and that there is no mount available for this trans in the 1500 guess who gets to make one. then lets not forget that you have a 4wd and that just increases the fun. it would say that the chances are pretty good that the nv4500 will not bolt up to the nv231hd transfer case that your truck uses so guess what you will need to replace the transfer case as well with the nv241hd which was also not offered in the 1500 series and now we are back to the possible mounting problems again. while still on the transfer case does yours have the electric shift or the mechanical linkage. what will the one you are replacing it with have and are you ready to make the necessary changes then there is a length issue. i doubt that the length of the trans / transfer case between the current auto and the standard trans are going to be the same so a new set of driveshafts will probably also need to be added to the list. then there is the electrical problems. the automatic does not use the same wiring harness or computer that the standard shift uses. while the wiring harness issue may not be a killer the computer can be. iirc the computer has the vehicle vin number as well as stores the mileage and afaik you cannot legally just drop one in from another vehicle without having it reprogrammed. these things are just a few problems off of the top of my head and im sure that there are more of them to think about. i have to agree with the others on this one. unless this truck has some special value to you i would just repair the automatic it probably would cost less and be much faster than the conversion. then sell the truck and buy one with a 5 speed if that is what you really want. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

i hate automatics. then why did you buy one it was all they had in my price range. lack of research on my part. my friends with chevys get a hell of a lot more miles out of their trannys and i expected the same of a dodge. even the service manager told me they are bad. he suggested a dodge truck with chevy engine and ford transmission hopefully as a joke. they go out constantly and are too expensive to repair. that is not always true and if properly maintained seem to do quite well. i changed fluid and filter per the manual and it only has 55k on it. dont know how else to maintain it. there will be little labor cost as i am doing it myself. then you consider your time worthless no but i value money more. i dont like paying people to do what i can do myself. .

your welcome. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving thats what i thought a good size trans cooler should do the trick...the temp gauge sounds like a nice little add on. looks like its shopping time for me. thanks alot for your help michael sorry it took me so long to get back to you but i am not a transmission expert and had hoped that one of the trans experts in here would answer your specific questions silly me. i dont know the specific model that your truck uses but i would say that a good trans fluid cooler would defiantly help to protect your rebuild. you might also consider installing a temp gauge on it so that you can better monitor it especially if you do things that could overheat it such as plowing. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving thank you tbone i myself also drive dodge 84 250 4x4 w/ 360 camper special this is my 3rd dodge truck .the ramcharger is my 4th. im just tring to find out more about this paticular transmission. the problem with my trans started in the overdrive unit with the main bearing . it started to break down and metal flakes started to flow around the trannie .you should have seen all the shit built up on the magnet .all the clutchs were black and so was some of the metal parts and gears inside the trans. i believe it was all caused by heat. is it true that the trannie is a 518 was it used in only the model years of 1990-1993 also if i installed a trans fluid cooler would that help keep the overheating of the overdrive unit incheck or is there a better way of protecting my rebuild thanks michael .
