INSTALLATION NOTES:

This kit should be used when replacing the Jeep AX15 5 speed transmission. The spud shaft should protrude approximately
7/16" beyond the face of the adapter housing. In order for this kit to be used with the AX15 transfer case, you will need
to change the input gear of the transfer case to the short design.

JEEP NP231 T/C LONG STICKOUT

GM & CHEVY SM420 TRUCK 4 SPEED 1948-67:

This transmission can be identified by a cast iron case length of 10-1/2". The casting numbers on the side of the case should
be GM3761930 or GM3813389. The transmission has a shift cover that bolts over the top of the transmission that has
a shift cover part number of GM591568. The P.T.O. opening is on the left hand side of the main case and the transmission
is a non-synchro first gear.

The transmission you select will need to be disassembled and machined for a snap ring that will retain the rear main bearing.
Your adapter kit includes a new set collar that can be used in place of the snap ring and if installed properly, will do the
same job as the snap ring. Make sure the collar and the clamp screw secure the shaft from any forward movement. The
drawing will illustrate the dimensional data for installation of a groove that must be cut into the shaft for holding the rear
bearing in position. There are a few stock applications where this snap ring will already be in place and the transmission
will not need the new snap ring or set collar.

The early Chevy truck 4 speeds were equipped with the small front bearing retainer that is 4.648" in diameter and must be
used with either early truck bellhousings or late model car-type bellhousings. The late model truck bellhousings all use a
5-1/8" retainer size that will not be compatible with this transmission.

The NP231 transfer case has a seal around the input sleeve collar that will prevent any transfer case fluid from entering
into the transmission area. In order to prevent transmission fluid from escaping between the adapter and transfer case,
we have supplied you with a new gasket that must be used. The original transmission that is being replaced, normally has
a rear seal that prevents the need of having to use a gasket between the adapter and transfer case.

On installations using a 2-piece main shaft, make sure that the coupler and the output shaft do not bottom out. We have
found on occasion that a transmission output shaft may be slightly longer than we have allowed for; and when coupling
into our new spud shaft, we find a small amount of interference. The adapter housing and spud shaft must be assembled
to the back of the transmission without interference. DO NOT FORCE THE NEW TAILHOUSING ONTO THE

TRANSMISSION. If assistance is needed, please feel free to call the number listed above.
