equipped with the I.F.S.
front axle should not use
this bellhousing due to
front driveshaft clearance
issues.

This bellhousing is designed for an 11” flywheel and clutch assembly. To
achieve proper release and clearances, our bellhousing was designed around
the Centerforce clutch components. If clutch components from other manu-
facturers are used, we cannot guarantee proper clutch operation. The recom-

mended clutch components are as follows:

For GM NV4500 (1996 & newer) and all Dodge NV4500 transmissions, we manufacture a new aluminum bellhousing with the
proper bolt pattern and 5.600” index diameter. This bellhousing can be used with all Chevy 4.3 V6 and V8 engine conversions.
The bellhousing is adaptable to both mechanical and hydraulic clutch controls and is furnished with a new clutch release arm
and boot. (The boot may need to be modified to provide the correct arm location). The bellhousing also comes with a bearing
retainer snout that bolts to the front of the GM transmission. If you are using a Dodge transmission, you will be required to change
the transmission front input shaft and machine the front bearing retainer for the release bearing. The bellhousing has the clutch
access on the driver's side of the vehicle. For customers that have a Dodge NV4500 transmission and wish to use this
bellhousing, a new GM input shaft will need to purchase and installed

(P/N 52-0221)

The stock 1996 & newer GM NV4500 transmission uses an internal hydraulic

release bearing. This bearing mounts to an aluminum index retainer

located on the front of the transmission. Our bellhousing retains the stock

aluminum bearing retainer. We then use a modified retainer that bolts

to the stock aluminum retainer to provide a collar for the new
clutch release bearing (shown above).

If this bellhousing was purchased with the intent to use a

Dodge transmission with a new input shaft, your stock Dodge

retainer must be modified to accept a GM release bearing (machin-

ing specifications provided on the instruction sheet).

The bellhousing is designed for an 11” flywheel and clutch assem-

bly. To achieve proper release and clearances, our bellhousing was

designed around the Centerforce clutch components. If clutch com-

ponents from other manufacturers are used, we cannot guarantee

proper clutch operation. The recommended clutch components

are as follows:
