Regarding P/N 712559 adapter plate to Jeep AX5 bellhousing (external release bearing only) : In order to adapt the Dodge
Standard Duty NV4500 to a Jeep AMC 4 cylinder engine, we found it necessary to adapt directly to the original AMC bellhousing.
This adapter plate design fits the 1994 & newer AX5 bellhousing with the external slave cylinder. This adapter plate provides the
correct bolt pattern and dowel pins for the stock AX5 bellhousing. This kit requires you to remove and modify your NV4500 front
bearing retainer, then install it on the front of the NV4500 transmission. With the adapter plate and retainer installed, the front of
the NV4500 looks just like an AX5 transmission without the front bearing retainer. The front retainer off of your AX5 transmission
must be removed and properly index over our modified NV4500 retainer, thus providing a support for your release bearing. A new
pilot bushing is provided in the kit to fit the tip of the NV4500 input shaft. A new 1-1/8” 10 spline clutch disc is required. We offer
this Centerforce clutch disc as
P/N 383824 . The stock pressure plate for the 4 cylinder is retained; however, a new one should
be used. The stock release arm, bearing, and slave cylinder are all retained. NOTE: The stock release bearing should be
replaced with a new bearing.

P/N 27-0010T - 29 spl. DODGE Gas NV4500 to Jeep 4.0L 6 cyl. Adapter plate design
(AX15 1989-93 replacement)
The overall assembly length is 25.850”. This kit requires the use of a stock 1989-93 Jeep AX15 bellhousing with
the internal slave cylinder and is not compatible with the stock external slave cylinder design. The original
clutch assembly can also be retained.
When coupled to the AX15, the stock transfer case used a 23 spline input gear. If you obtain
a 23 spline NV4500, the stock transfer case input gear can be retained. If you get a later
model NV4500 transmission with a 29 spline output shaft, our kit 27-0010T comes with
a new 29 spline input gear for the New Process 231 transfer case.
The transfer case adapter is the shortest design possible to couple to the New Process
transfer case. This adapter comes with a shifter bracket that allows the use of your stock
transfer case shifter. These packaged kits include a new support crossmember which
couples to the stock skid pan. Modifications will be required to your floorboard for the
shifters, and the skid pan will require new holes to be drilled for our crossmember support. A body lift is normally recommended
for clearance. If you would rather change out the internal release bearing, we offer a full bellhousing kit that uses a external slave
cylinder.
