GM Guy
Manual Trans. 2WD Enthusiast
just thought I would tell you guys what I got yesterday!
four days ago, a friend of mine asked me if I wanted to go with her on a trip to a town about 100 miles away on Wednesday (yesterday), sick of the horrible heat and lack of good a/c, I happily agreed. I hopped online, and cruised the local classifieds online, and found something of interest.
2 days later, I called an ad for a 5 speed transmission removed from a 1995 Chevy 1/2 ton 2wd pickup $150. It was at the same town as which the friend needed to go to. Oh good, a NV3500 to put in place of the 5LM60 in the ol 91 chevy, i thought. showed up yesterday, and the guy took me out to the shop, and what sits on the pallet but an NV4500! got it and 3 alloy rims with tires for my 1/2tons (5 on 5 15 inch) for the grand total of 200 bucks! clicks into gear smooth, shifts in all, rotates smoothly.
It is sitting under a tarp at a buddy's place, as the friend I rode down with had a lame-ass little Escape, and we were to not get it dirty, so I decided to come back for the trans, but took the bellhousing, flywheel, and shifter & boot, all wrapped in bags, that night.
so I got a NV4500 and 3 tires and wheels I still need to go get, but for the price I got them at, I can afford to drive 200 miles round trip!
the trans will go into the 95 GMC, as it is very noisy. hopefully getting dropped in with the 99 engine also.
