Thanks for the kudos on the video. Sorry we didn’t do a rebuild. It didn’t seem to get any traction, so we sold the project. Thanks for watching.

That's awesome to hear. Glad it worked well for you. This is a great tranny when it's taken care of. Thanks for watching.

Video saved me alot of money. Thanks again for taking the time to post. Made it less intimidating. 👍🔧⚙💰

I just pretend well. ;) Thanks for watching.

Exactly right. Thanks for watching.

Very sorry about that. There didn't seem to be much interest on this, so we got rid of the project. Sorry for any inconvenience. Thanks for watching.

@@Shoptoolreviews Well, shucks, man.

@@Shoptoolreviews Also sad no reassembly video. It would be a good video. I'm not youtube savvy on cost vs effort and likes, but I suspect it takes time to get traction on such things given the signal to noise ratio these days. That said, if you approach it like most things and stack parts properly (and take pics) re-assemble it often simple to figure out.

Thanks 😁. I truly appreciate it.

Did you end up rebuilding it?

@@Kernfederate Yea, I think I have about 1500-1800 miles on it so far. I replaced all the bearings except for the needle bearings because they looked fine. I replaced the synchros because two of them had lost a lot of friction material. I don't have a dial indicator so I just fudged the end play with a set of calipers.

@@c0c0asauce Nice! It sounds like it's a pretty straight forward rebuild, would you say? If you recall, about how much did it cost you in all? Mine just started making unhappy bearing noises, so I'm expecting to be doing a rebuild pretty soon, haha.

@@Kernfederate It cost me maybe $280 with the fluid and sealant. It's not bad if you are ok with lifting the transmission case. I only used a map torch and my hydraulic press to help some stuff along. Using the weight of the shafts to help press the bearings on helps a lot. To clarify, it is easier to hold the bearings still and press the gear shaft into the bearing vs holding the shaft still and pressing the bearings onto the shaft. I would also say just replace all of the bearings. The only reason I didn't replace all the bearings in my transmission is because I wanted to prove to myself that the main and countershaft bearings were the culprit of my noise. Plus you don't have to clean the old bearings if you just replace them.

That's what makes it diy my dude

You can,t speak for 95% of us viewers just because you don’t have the skills or interest in doing those things. I thoughtful t that was good info about turning the socket into an extra deep tool to reach all the way down the length of the tail shaft to reach the nut. The GM tool is probably a couple hundred dollars. It was also good info about heating the red Loctite to get the nut loose. I already have a propane torch and tank, but that hand-held torch/bottle setup is cheap at the home store.

Sorry, we got rid of the project. There didn't seem to be any interest in the teardown, so we didn't want to do the rebuild for minimal views. Sorry for any inconvenience. Thanks for watching.

Ugh! Sorry about that. We sold the project. We didn't seem to have very much interest from the audience. Thanks for watching.

Definitely

The thing is, people only look for this type of stuff when they need it. Very rarely are they watching a teardown or rebuild video for pleasure.

@@chadalcock7275 shit, I forget who it is but they only have a channel for tear down and rebuild transmissions. Got like 150k followers

Coulda used the second part to this video! Definitely need it right now!🤦‍♂️😂

Fun times! Thanks for watching.

Yes, it's a great HD transmission and there's just not a lot of traffic looking for this. Thanks for watching.

The NV4500s can be found in salvage yards, in 2wd and 4wd, Chevy and Dodge.

Chevy dealer parts counter, Dodge dealer parts counter, Amsoil synthetic. All these are synthetic and do not degrade the syncros. 75/90 wt gear oil.

There are some darker ares on the shaft, but I think they will cleanup nicely. There are a couple of chipped teeth on the very edge of one gear, and I think I'll dress them up a bit and reuse them. Pretty much just bearings and synchros that need to be replaced. FYI, if this were going be a daily driver, then I'd replace the main shaft and cluster, just for assurance. Thanks for watching.

Yes, that. :) Thanks for watching.

I'm not sure about sinkrows. If you're talking about synchros (synchroniser) lol, it depends on who is doing it. Probably at least $1,000. Thanks for watching.

HEAVY! Thanks for watching.

Sorry, we sold the project truck. Not a lot of interest from our audience. Thanks for watching.

That's very interesting. Thanks for watching.

Maybe treat your transmission nicer?

Thanks for watching.
