JEEPS 1980-1986 (Dana 300):
In order to adapt a NV4500 to a Dana 300 transfer case, the transmission can either be a 29 spline or a 23 spline DODGE
Standard Duty 4WD NV4500 . This Dodge transmission has the correct bolt pattern to bolt directly to the Dana 300 transfer
case. The 23 spline transmission has the same spline count as that of the Dana 300. The
Dodge 29 spline transmission requires the installation of a new 29 spline input gear into
the Dana 300.
On 1996 & newer Dodge transmissions, the internal profile of the stock tailhousing was
changed. This profile change causes interference with the stock Dana 300 alignment
retainer. These newer transmissions require a shorter Dana 300 retainer for proper
indexing.
The kit package listed below are all based around the 1996 & newer
transmission.

P/N 27-0003T - 29 spl. DODGE Gas NV4500 to AMC-Jeep engine Adapter plate design
The overall assembly length is 26.125”. These kits use an adapter plate that bolts to the stock AMC bellhousing. The adapter
plate requires the use of a 1976-86 stock Jeep bellhousing from a T150 and T176 (AA P/N 712599 or Jeep P/N 8133951
or 3236291). These bellhousings permit an easy adaptation to the Dodge NV4500 transmission. The original Jeep clutch linkage
is retained since you are using your original bellhousing. Driveline modifications will be required with NV4500 transmission
replacements. These kits are not compatible with short wheel-based vehicles such as the CJ5 models. A new index Dana 300
retainer is provided in the kit for proper indexing. Some crossmember modifications are necessary, and a body lift is recommended.

Regarding P/N 712553 adapter plate to Jeep bellhousings 8133951 or 3236291: Between 1976-86, there were several Jeeps
that were equipped with a 6-1/2" bellhousing depth. This bellhousing had a Ford bolt pattern along with the Ford index diameter
of 4.848". By using our adapter plate on these applications, you can easily adapt the Dodge NV4500 to your original AMC
bellhousing. This adapter can be used on all AMC 258 6 cylinders and AMC V8s. The stock clutch linkage does not require
modifications, since the original bellhousing is being retained.
NOTE: If your vehicle was equipped with a T4, T5, or SR4
transmission, you will need to drill & tap your bellhousing in order to bolt to our adapter. A new pilot bushing is provided in the kit
to fit the tip of the NV4500 input shaft. Your stock clutch components can be retained; however, a new clutch disc and pressure
plate should be used. We offer Centerforce clutch disc
P/N 384193 , and pressure plate P/N CF361897 (for hydraulic
linkages) or P/N CF361675 (for mechanical linkages) as an upgrade to a stock clutch system. The transmission must be the
Dodge Standard Duty NV4500 with the 7-1/2" input shaft stickout length.
P/N 27-0003BT - 29 spl. DODGE Gas NV4500 to AMC-Jeep engine Full bellhousing design
The overall assembly length is 25.125”. These kits use an new custom bellhousing that bolts to the stock AMC engine. The original
Jeep clutch linkage can be retained, since our bellhousing offers the same clutch linkage mounting holes as the stock bellhousing.
Driveline modifications will be required with NV4500 transmission replacements. These kits are not compatible with short wheel-
based vehicles such as the CJ5 models. For proper indexing, a new index Dana 300 retainer is provided in the kit. Some
crossmember modifications are necessary, and a body lift is recommended. Refer to
