It's a NP 241, will go through it when doing the swap.Thanks

Any 4x4 tranny from a 1990 -1995 will bolt right up and will work.You must get the shift tower with the tranny as they changed but they will still work.One is short with a big tower and the other is taller with a shorter tower.
They are patterned after the old ZF trannies and shift just like a car not a truck.Again nothing said about transfer box So as to you eariler Quot From LYNN;I am not an 18 year old offering advise here but if that is what this forum is all about have at it.I don't need to be here.
Lynn/// Me Steve the whole question was about what it take to change over from a 700r4 to a 5 or 6 SP manual tipshiep indicated that he was going to go through his existing 241,how do you expect his existing 241 trans box to fit a manual you may not be a 18 year old but But.But you know that when your were <HYPOTHETICAL> 18 years old(As Mr. tipshiep may be)you vary will might have gone to the salvage yard and asked for manual transmission with out the tranfer box with what infomation was given that{and again} he was going to rebuild his existing transfer box!!!/SEE BELOW

^^^ Sorry,but I'm failing to see any facsimile of an answer to the question in all this ^^^
Not one grain of help,either. Is someone off their medication?
Yeah,I think your best bet would be a swap from auto - manual from the same or similar donor truck. Searching for all the stuff will kill the project. Get it all from one truck. The NV3500s and 4500s shift smooth and fast,unlike previous truck transmissions. I believe there may even be a short throw kit for the NV3500?
