Tech Note 1: Worn Splines
When servicing your transmission, always check for wear on the internal splines of the 5th gear clutch and the corresponding splines in the countershaft. The clutch is a loose slip-fit on the countershaft. On a new shaft with a new clutch, a dial indicator mounted to the countershaft and indicating off a synchro tooth will read about 0.10". It is fairly common to have the 5th gear clutch splines either wear or fail completely in transmissions run behind enhanced horsepower Diesel engines.

Tech Note 2: Replacement
QU10202 replaces QU10031. It is the current production replacement Countershaft 5th Gear Clutch for all 1992-2007 GM and 1992-2005 Dodge New Venture NV4500 transmissions.

Tech Note 4: 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 V1003DVD NV4500 Overhaul Video for more information.
