NV4500 to 47rh writeup
Some of you guys were asking for a writeup. Here you go.
Its not that hard of a job. Only parts needed besides the trans is:
Auto trans mount (not the rubber piece)
Tcase input shaft for an auto.
Tcase linkage from the auto. The adjuster rod is longer and the mount is different.
shorten rear drive shaft (I went with a one piece 4"-.095 wall) so far no vibration up to 110 on the highway. Makes removing driveshaft SIMPLE!! 4 bolts on the pinion.
Lengthen front drive shaft
TV/kickdown cable
Some kind of shifter (I have a B&M floor shifter)
Trans coolers. I did a B&M supercooler in front of the radiator and a Derale atomic cooler with fan and thermostat under the bed.
Lockup toggle switch, Brad Ponci has me doing a Hobbs switch, so lockup comes on by itself at around 40-42mph. But I will still have manual override toggle for drag racing.
O/D toggle switch. Also going to do the same as the lockup switch with the Hobbs switch.
Thats it!
I'm doing the Hobbs switches so if someone need to use the truck the can get in and drive it without having to flip switches.
