Awesome trans, I had one behind a stock 454TBI in a 92full size 2door yukon that stood soooo many clutch dumps. What killed it was wrong oil and filled to the brim by a competent mechanic😤 and I did not ask for the fluid change😤😤😤 Costed me a cluster gear, the second gear and the usual consumables, good as new with the correct fluids of course. I wish I can get my hands on another one. A pain to take apart, even more so to put back together. Thanks for the vid
Thanks for the kind words and the info. Good to know it should hold up. I have a little over 1,000 miles on the swap now and it's doing awesome. I will be making another video here soon
I have put over 4k miles on this swap so far and there is zero noise from the trans or any of the hydraulic throwout bearing components . It actually is a much smoother and easier clutch to operate vs a standard slave cylinder style
Thanks for the info. My experience unfortunately was complete opposite. I did some pretty extensive research and people were either guessing or they were saying it won't hold up. I found very little useful info on bolting an nv3500 to an ls. Also I found very limited to almost no availability of an nv3500 anywhere near me. That being said I had to get what I could take, not try and find a certain year transmission that has zero availability. Pretty much any transmission that was bolted up to a sbc will bolt right up to an ls. This isn't my first rodeo on bolting an older trans to an ls, I have done it several times, but they were autos, and just required a spacer to place the torque converter correctly.
Unfortunately, a 241j transfer case is a different bolt pattern, and input shafts are different lengths. I could have had an adapter made, which would cost me $600, plus having to switch out input shafts. The 241c transfer case come with the transmission and cost me nothing. If I choose to do a slip yoke eliminator kit, and i may in the future, you can purchase a slip yoke eliminator kit for just over $200 for the 241c.
What transmission would handle that? Currently building a 1984 cj7 looking to put a 6.0 or 5.3 in it. Will primarily be off-road use. But I’m not sure which transmission or t case to use.
So far the nv3500 from a 92 3/4 chevy is holding up great. An nv4500 is a sure shot but, very large, very heavy, and pretty low geared. I think the nv3500 is a good fit as long as your not dumping the clutch or doing crazy stuff

Feel like those spacers would make so much noise

Theres info ALL over about the input shaft differences. Trans from 97 up will bolt right onto an ls

@@Steel-Gunner yeah all I've ever seen is people put a collar/spacer on the input shaft
Also, the nbs trucks had a different 3500 than the pre 99s did. Completely different slaves and cases
@RogueKnight33 Good information to know, I appreciate any extra knowledge I can get
Wouldnt the jeep tcase mount up? Not using a slip yoke tcase would be far better.

@@Steel-Gunner thanks! I definitely want to build something that will withstand some abuse! Nice build!!
@@justyce1849 thanks!
