Nice, I'll bet a guy could use a yoke on end for wrench adapter. Thinking if big nut was reverse threads would it stay on? Would 10.000 lbs gvcw sustained use be ok,?
You were not kidding on the torque. Wow! I am surprised the threads can hold up to that much! Hadn't thought of using green locktite over red. I like that. But, The proximity of that tig heat to the shaft worries me. If an inexperience person tried this and overheats / arcs to the shaft, it could weaken and break the shaft under load. I like the idea of welding the nut to the gear. Both nut and gear are easily replaced come rebuild time. Just grind through the weld to remove. Thoughts?
J Pop hey glad you like it! Tig welding heat (especially if a quick accidental bead) affects the surface properties more than the internal stresses of a material. Us personally, would be more worried about welding to the gear, since it is more crucial to have good wear, and strength in the gear, then to be worried about how the shaft’s strength would be decreased. Nonetheless, if someone was welding a lot to the shaft, anything is possible! Thanks for the feedback!
Great Video! helps a lot. Quick Question, I am having that same issue where my 5th gear nut is backing off and will sometimes grab and sometimes it won’t. When my 5th gear does in fact slide off, will it affect anything in a negative way only being in 4th for however long I am in it freaking out?
Hey Paul! If the nut comes off, the transmission is going to need a rebuild obviously. When it runs loose, it tends to damage the shaft splines needing a rebuild as well. However you can’t do any more damage by running it in 4th only. Hope this helps! Any other questions just ask!
Hi Jason, sorry for the delayed response, we are back up maintaining the channel! Typically from our experience, the 3rd gear grinding is from excess end play and/or worn syncro rings. This needs to be addressed with a rebuild.
Hi Marty! I thought I replied to the email inquiry, but it may not have went through. The centering clip is an aluminum welding rod we roll into the clip!
We apologize for the delay, we were not active on keeping up with the comments. Located in Connecticut, but at this time we do not offer rebuild services. Just trying to share some knowledge!
I like it, I am going to do this this week. Thanks. What nut do you use for this? will any of the nuts on ebay hold up to these ligit torques? Let me know asap. Thanks
Hi Bret! Sorry for the delayed response. We are now back up and maintaining the channel. Any 1-piece nut should work, not split nuts or split washers. They were available from All-State Gear

Nice work double redundancie

That's some torque on that nut.
Seriously, its impressive it holds. But it has stood the test of time so far!

Excellent video. Looking forward to more videos. I already subscribed, liked, turned notification bell on and shared
Thank you for the kind words! Means a ton! We will continue to bring you good stuff! Stay tuned.
@@Retroformance approximetly what are the diemensions height and width of the nv4500??
WOW!

So what loctite type green product number are you using ? I like the idea of only welding the nut at the slot.
Hi Gerald! Sorry for the delayed response. We are back up maintaining the channel! It is Loctite 638 retaining compound.
That 5th gear never giving up after that.

The 5th gear nut backing off is typically the reason for 3rd gear grinding correct. If so could i do this without rebuilding the entire trans?

What torque setting do y’ale use for the little set screws that go over the brass pucks in the locknut?
Hi Martin, we do not use that style nut with the screws.
Not familiar with the trans but couldn't you put a washer that grabs the channel and has bend over tangs like an axle nut does?
It has been tried by others, the harmonics, torque, and abuse usually makes that solution fail.
Where can I find that centering clip they used in the video right before the washer went on?
Hi Marty! I thought I replied to the email inquiry, but it may not have went through. The centering clip is an aluminum welding rod we roll into the clip!
Do you remember what size welding rod?
1/8"@@MartinDemel-fr9yq
I don’t see any physical address listed on your website. Do you offer rebuild services for the NV 4500 ?

Can you guys rebuild mine
I think they are dead, or no longer answer questions on this platform.

Where are you guys located?
Eastern CT
My 6 speed manual transmission NV5600 JUST WENT OUT.. SOUNDS LIKE A ROD KNOCK... WHAT DO I DO REMANUFU..ANY IDEAS LET ME KNOW.... THANKS
Replace or rebuild it.
Okay
