Shop now for Shift Covers, Shift Levers, and Shift Towers for 1992-1993 Dodge Ram New Venture NV4500 5 speed manual transmissions.
1992-1997 Dodge NV4500 Transmissions used a top cover with and integral shift tower. Transmissions with the early covers are more difficult to remove and install unless your truck has a removable cab floor pan. The early covers worked well, but they are subject to wear in the concave ball seat that supports the shift stub. A badly worn seat can cause all kinds of shifting difficulties in an otherwise sound transmission. The later design, flat top cover with a removable tower is less prone to wear in the shift tower. Early and late covers are interchangeable as far as fitting the transmission goes, but you have to make sure you order the correct stub or tower to match your shifter when changing top cover types.
Early versions of the NV4500 Transmission used a spring loaded shift stub that was retained by one of 2 styles of twist-lock cap (See QU10733). A redesigned shift cover featuring a bolt-on removable tower replaced the original design starting in 1998 model year for Dodge (See QU10706).
