QU10103 Flat Square Chip Magnet for NV4500, NV5600 Transmissions

QU10103 Flat Square Chip Magnet for NV4500 and NV5600 Manual Transmissions is an original equipment replacement magnet for all New Venture NV4500 and NV5600 manual transmissions that had a factory installed magnet on the left PTO cover. Also, was used in the NV5600 transmission and can be retrofitted to any transmission or transfer case with QU70005 or similar steel PTO cover. Adding an extra magnet to the right PTO cover is recommended if you are not using the one of our Manual Transmission Filter Kits.

Tech Note 1: Early Production
Very early production NV4500 transmissions used QU50191 Round Chip Magnet in the bottom of the case.

Tech Note 2: Extend Bearing Life
Having a couple chip magnets in your transmission is a pretty cheap way to extend the life of your bearings.

Tech Note 3: 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.
