One thing he didn't check is if the sealant blocked the bearing oiling hole on the input cover. Seen it happen. When you do this install you should remove the top cover of the transmission and check to see if the sealant oozed into where it isn't supposed to be when the input cover was seated. Otherwise you could possibly burn up your front seal and bearing within the first 100 miles
After just removing a the cover for my input cause it sheared the collar off. My advice when it comes to the way the permatex is applied is to yes smooth it out and let the permatex set up a bit prior to assembling it. It can and does cause the oil feed to get plugged up a little.
Are the input bearing and bearing cup easily removed, or will they need special pullers? I know they are supposed to be press fit in the first place, correct? Thanks!
Thanks! I'm swapping out a gasser input shaft for Cummins/V10 and was considering saving money by reusing the bearing and cup, but I think it's more worth it to just buy replacements.
@@thoroughbreddiesel are you sure? It was my understanding you can swap all the dodge parts from the bellhousing to the input shaft on the late model GM NV4500?
It depends on your definition of “easily” there should be some gear rollover resistance. If it is even a question to you have it checked by a professional.
It's more than gear rollover resistance. You need to grab it with both hands tightly to be able to spin it. My best guess is a few thou worth of shims needs to be removed but I don't trust myself enough to do a full tear down...
Hey their. I have a 2000 Chevy 3500 with the nv4500, and I was wondering if this shaft kit would work on my Chevy nv4500? so It can be captible with the cummins motor?
+HalfNekoJames This is the input shaft for the NV4500 manual shift transmission. This will not work for the NV5600 6 speed manual, G56 6 speed manual, or any of the automatics. To change the input shaft on the automatics it is a much more involved process.

I would suggest having a bearing splitter and access to a press.

Can you install a Dodge input shaft into a 99' Chevy NV4500 when doing a Cummins swap?
No, but there is a 1.25 input shaft upgrade out there offered by New Venture that would upgrade the shaft.

What would cause the input shaft bearing to fail?
Could be anything, but most commonly we see lack of lube in the trans that causes premature wear, but several things could cause the failure.
Hola Amigo que aceite entra en esa caja?
Hola! Nosotros usamos Pennzoil Syncromesh
How can I tell if my NV4500 already has the 1 & 3/8” input shaft?
Really no way to know for sure unless you drop the trans and measure.
@@thoroughbreddiesel My trans is out on my desk, where do I measure? Thank you
I have an early model nv5600 6 speed with the 1-1/4" input shaft. Is this the same shaft I would need to upgrade to 1-3/8" for my 6 speed?
Should the input shaft be easily spun by hand once fully installed? Mine didn't spin easily once the collar was torqued up.

Maybe your bearing Race is not seated deep enough in the input shaft Cone!
Do you have bad bearings?

Yes it will
Thanks for the video so far the only one i have found on here, though is this for ford or dodge? if it is dodge is it this easy for the 4x4 automatic?

What oil are you using?
