Tech Note 1: Wear
The 1-2 interlock feature was used on 1992-1994 GM NV4500 models with the 6.34:1 1st gear ratio. The interlock is designed to prevent down shifting into 2nd or 1st gear at high mainshaft speeds. At higher speeds, centrifugal force pushes the flyweights against the 1-2 synchro slider so it can not be shifted. I did find a few early Dodge and 1995 GM transmissions that also had this feature, but I suspect the interlock parts were added during a previous rebuild.

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 VSG1003DVD NV4500 Overhaul Video for more information.
