The adapter plates we manufacture are used primarily for the Dodge Standard Duty NV4500 transmission. This Dodge
version has an input shaft that protrudes from the front of the transmission approximately 7-1/2”. Because of the length of this
input shaft, we are able to couple this transmission to both a stock GM and Ford bellhousing by means of a 7/8” adapter plate.

P/N 712550 - Dodge Standard Duty NV4500 to GM 5.125" Dia. bellhousing
This adapter plate will permit the installation of this Dodge NV4500 directly to a GM bellhousing. The adapter plate provides a
mounting surface identical to a Chevy transmission. This kit is designed to compensate for the 1” longer Dodge input shaft. The
adapter plate is not compatible with the Heavy-Duty NV4500. This kit includes the adapter plate, pilot bushing, and necessary
hardware.
Most Chevy bellhousings with the 5.125” index are designed for an 11” flywheel and clutch assembly. We recommend the use
of Centerforce clutch components. The recommended clutch components are as follows:
P/N CF165552 - 11” pressure plate
P/N 383735 - 11” clutch disc
* P/N N1714 - Release bearing
* When using this release bearing with a Chevy release
arm, the lugs that slip into the back of the release bearing will
require a slight modification.
On Jeep applications using this
adapter plate, you may need to pur-

clutch linkage connection. Jeeps
with hydraulic linkages should use
the full bellhousings
A full bellhousing (Part No.

Dodge NV4500 by installing a new
input shaft
