Re: Manual trans question

Just curious, gear vendors was not an option?

Early 4500s had the lower 1st gear and non synchro reverse. Later has the higher 1st (less granny like) and the synchro reverse.

Personally I felt that the 465 was a stronger transmission than the NV4500....but.... the extra gear won me over in the end. It hasn't broken with the abuse I throw at it on occasion and the shifting?What an upgrade! Man, compared to the 465 its like the difference between a new Porsche and a '60 VW bug.

I ran a divorced 205 out of a Power Wagon. Mainly because I was too lazy to find the later round style 205 and I had the divorced one in the garage.
