Tech Note 1: NV4500's
1992-1996 NV4500 transmissions use two QU10018 metal cage needle bearings separated by QU10121 steel spacer for the reverse idler gear.

Tech Note 2: Ratios
1992-1996 Dodge and 1995-1996 GM NV4500 Transmissions all have a 5.61:1 reverse gear ratio. 1992-1994 GM models have a 6.34:1 reverse gear ratio. The reverse idler gear, reverse idler shaft, and reverse idler bearings are the same for both ratios.

Tech Note 3: Soak Bearing
Soak each bearing in QU90020 NV4500 GL-4 75w85w Manual Transmission Oil or other approved NV4500 lubricant before assembly.

Tech Note 6: Lubricants, Sealants, Threadlockers
Early production NV4500 Transmissions used an anaerobic sealant (QU90003) to seal between the main case and input bearing retainer, top cover, and rear housing. Mid-production units used anaerobic sealant just on the input retainer and RTV for everything else. Later production transmissions used black RTV Sealant (QU90006 or QU90005) for everything. Either type of sealant works fine (except the PTO covers ALWAYS should be sealed with RTV), but I prefer RTV for all components. Regardless of which sealant you use, make sure excess sealant does not block the lube access hole at the top of input retainer pilot that fits into the transmission case! Also, the threaded holes in the main case for the four retainer bolts and 12 PTO bolts are open ended, so you must use new bolts with factory applied threadlocker or apply Threadlocker (S24200) to your existing bolts to prevent oil seepage past the bolt threads. See my TM1003 NV4500 Shop Manual or VSG1003DVD NV4500 Overhaul Video for more information.
