INSTALLATION PROCEDURES:

This adapter plate will adapt a Dodge regular gas type NV4500 5 speed directly to the original Jeep AX4 or AX5 bellhousing.
The new transmission input shaft is long enough to maintain the proper clutch spline engagement. The pilot bushing must
be changed to fit the new input shaft. The original Jeep bearing retainer, release arm and release bearing on 4 cylinder 1996
& newer applications will remain when installing the new transmission.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES:

1. Modify your front bearing retainer as per the drawing on page 3. Install the bearing retainer onto the front of the
transmission using new flat head bolts provided. Make sure that bolts do not protrude into the gear box area and cause
gear damage.

2. Test fit adapter plate to the AX5 bellhousing to make sure you have proper slave cylinder & pivot ball clearance. (Note:
This plate has been modified for clearance on the nut side of the release arm pivot ball. You may have to grind additional
clearance for proper fit. The plate must lay flat on bellhousing.)

3. Adapter plate must be installed to the bellhousing using the two special dowels.

4. Install the nine (9) flat head bolts into the bellhousing using 15-20 ft./lbs. of torque.

5. Assemble the transmission to the adapter plate using the new bolts provided.

6. On the inside of the bellhousing, fit your stock Jeep front retainer onto the adapter plate. This retainer should pilot over

a machined hub that we have provided on the modified front retainer of your NV4500. Using the (3) 5/16" bolt and
lockwasher, fasten the stock retainer to the adapter plate. Due to the various retainer flange thicknesses, you will
need to then remove the adapter plate from your NV4500. Look at the top (2) 5/16" bolt, if they protrude through the
adapter, take a small grinder and grind off any part of the 5/16" bolt so that the threads are flush with the inside with
the adapter plate.

7. Trial fit the slave cylinder into the bellhousing and make sure that the plunger fits into the Jeep release arm.

8. The pilot bushing in the AMC engine crank must be replaced with the new bushing supplied.

9. The clutch disc for the original 4 cylinder installation used a 1"-14 spline size and the new transmission requires a
1-1/8"-10 spline. Centerforce clutch disc Part No. 383824 will be required for the new installation.

10. The input gear of the NP231 transfer case will need to be changed from 21 spline to 23 spline in order for the new
NV4500 to properly fit. Advance Adapter's can supply Part No. 716053 for the transfer case modification.
