NV4500 Bellhousing Adapters:
NV4500 Bellhousing Adapters: If you are considering a NV4500, we offer conversion bellhousings & adapter plates for these applications. The bellhousing bolt pattern changed on the Chevy NV4500 transmission in 1996. The full bellhousings will require a GM input shaft in the transmission while the adapter plates are designed around the longer Dodge gas input shaft. An adapter plate will allow you to use the bellhousing needed for your application.
To install a NV4500 having a mechanical or hydraulic linkage, you have a few options. The bellhousings we manufacture offer brackets to retain both these linkages. Furthermore, the late model stock GM NV4500 bellhousing can be used. This bellhousing is only offered for hydraulic applications and should only be used when replacing a late model Chevy Getrag transmission.

27-0031 - GM 27 spline NP205 1971-1979 transmission assembly. This kit includes a new full bellhousing with a clutch linkage bracket for hydraulic linkages. Installation of a clutch pedal is mandatory on vehicles previously equipped with the automatic transmission. O.A.L. of 26.750”.
27-0032 - GM 32 spline NP205 1971-84/85 transmission assembly. This kit includes a new full bellhousing with a clutch linkage bracket for mechanical linkages. Machining is required on the transfer case to install a new 32 spline input gear. O.A.L. 26.250”.
CLUTCH LINKAGE & NV4500 COMPONENTS JEEPS:
Jeep has used both hydraulic and mechanical clutch linkages over the years. The NV4500 bellhousing for the Jeep use the clutches below and then have a few options linkages:
Chevy engines: CF165473S Centerforce 11” low profile pressure plate
383735 Centerforce 11” clutch disc
Jeeps 1941-1972 (Hydraulic linkage) - Although these year Jeeps never came with this type of linkage, we have designed a new dual pedal and master cylinder assembly to upgrade your vehicle to a hydraulic linkage. These components cannot be used on vehicles with disc brakes.
716117 - Dual Swing Pedals 716116 - Slave Cylinder Kit
716118 - Dual Master Cylinder 716287 - Slave Cylinder Bracket (GM block only)
Jeeps 1972-1986 (Mechanical) - These Jeeps use the same type of clutch torque tube as the earlier models, except the torque tube pivots off the bellhousing instead of the transfer case. This linkage uses a ball design pivot bracket that bolts to the stock bellhousing. When using one of our Chevy conversion bellhousings, the stock bracket can be retained. If you are using a GM bellhousing, we offer 716638 which will provide you with an adjustable pivot location. If you would like to upgrade your clutch linkage, we offer a chain-operated clutch linkage. This kit is mounted to the original push rod that extends out of the firewall. (716639)
Jeeps 1980-1986 (Hydraulic linkage) - Jeep first started using a hydraulic linkage in the 1980-82 CJ7s with the 151 Iron Duke engine. This slave cylinder bolts to the bellhousing using the same two holes as the mechanical linkage ball pivot bracket. If you are using one of our Chevy conversion bellhousings, this slave cylinder can easily be installed. If you wish to change to a hydraulic linkage, replacing the mechanical linkage, 1980-86 Jeeps had provisions to bolt a stock Jeep master cylinder to the firewall (Jeep master cylinder No. J5359822). We offer the stock slave cylinder assembly to work for this application (716331).
Jeeps 1987-1991 (Hydraulic linkage) New Engine & Transmissions Swaps & Transmission Retrofits:
When you are installing a new drivetrain using one of our full conversion bellhousings, we offer a slave cylinder that bolts directly to our bellhousing. This Jeep Iron Duke slave cylinder works well with the 1987 to 1991 master cylinder (1-1/16” bore). This slave cylinder is 716331 and fits both the GM and Jeep conversion bellhousing we manufacture.
Jeeps 1992-2006 (Hydraulic linkage) New Engine & Transmissions Swap Combos:
When you are installing a new drivetrain using one of our full conversion bellhousings, Jeeps 1992 & newer used a master cylinder with a 3/4” cylinder bore. We offer a slave cylinder bracket that bolts to our bellhousing and allows the use of a Toyota Land Cruiser slave cylinder. This bellhousing does have the provision to use a Jeep Iron Duke slave cylinder; however, this slave cylinder is marginal when used with this YJ and TJ master cylinder. The recommended method of using the Land Cruiser slave cylinder would require the following: 716288 slave cylinder bracket (A.A. bellhousing), 716119S TLC slave cylinder, 716215 slave cylinder fitting, and 716130H slave cylinder hose. You will also require a special master cylinder fitting depending on the year of your vehicle. This assembly only works on our GM conversion bellhousing. The Jeep bellhousing will need a special bracket to be manufactured. If you are using a stock Chevy bellhousing, the slave cylinder bracket should be 716287.
COMPLETE NV4500 KITS FOR JEEPS:
We distribute complete kits for the NV4500 transmission. Most kits include the bellhousing adapter, transfer case adapter, crossmember mount, clutch linkage, and the necessary transfer case linkage components. If we do not offer a transmission package specifically for your application, more than likely we offer the individual components to convert your vehicle. A complete transmission package from Advance Adapters is a cost effective way to order. The kits listed below are designed around the stock NV4500 transmissions.

CLUTCH LINKAGE & NV4500 COMPONENTS TOYOTA L/C:
Whether you are retaining your stock 3 or 4 speed transmissions or upgrading to a new 4 or 5 speeds, clutch considerations will need to be addressed. We highly recommend retaining the stock Land Cruiser slave cylinder. Whether you are using a stock GM or a conversion bellhousing, we offer the brackets to retain this slave cylinder.
716288 - Conversion bellhousing to Land Cruiser slave cylinder bracket
We offer a new Land Cruiser slave cylinder, 716119. This slave cylinder has a very short release. When converting to a V8 engine and using an aftermarket clutch assembly, you play havoc attempting to get your clutch to release properly. We highly recommend using Centerforce or Luk clutch components. Centerforce & Luk use a low diaphragm pressure plate that works in conjunction with a large diameter, radius-face bearing. This combination is proven to work with the Land Cruiser hydraulic release system.
