As a few of you know, my current NV3550 pops out of first like crazy, which just plain sucks whether you're on the pavement or off; the parts to fix the internal linkage per the service bulletin are like $450 from the stealership.
Anyway, against my better judgement (because of the money), I just scored me a Dodge NV4500 on eBay. It has the 5.61 1st gear (not bad!), the 4x4 tailhousing, etc., and is apparently ready to throw into my Jeep with the help of an adapter bellhousing. One other small detail: I have to get the thing home to Anza (45 min E of Temecula) from Fremont (Bay Area).
Here's the eBay Description:
Apparently it's not really a '98, but a '97 or older, since it has the bottle style shifter.
Does anyone have any experience transplanting one of these things?

Here's the eBay Description:
1998 Dodge NV4500 4x4 manual transmission 5 speed
This is the Dodge Gas NV4500 with the 1-1/8 x 10 spline input and the 23 spline 4x4 output shaft for Dodge, Jeep and other transfer cases.
This transmission was converted from 2WD with all original New Venture parts. This is the ideal conversion transmission with the 5.61 first gear, and fully synchronized in all gears including Reverse. This transmission comes as you see it, fully assembled and rebuilt, with a new input shaft, counter shaft, and main shaft, synchros, bearings, and special improved 5th gear retainer. It has the correct Dodge gas input shaft and clutch throw out bearing retainer. It has a refurbished (gasket face repaired and resurfaced) 6-5/16 deep aluminum 4x4 6 bolt round factory transfer case adapter.
This transfer case adapter is compatible with the Atlas, and many other Advance Adapters or Novak conversion systems. Also fits the 23 spline NP231, 241, Dana 300, etc.
This transmission is just like new. It is clean, and there is nothing wrong with it. It is ready for your Bronco, Jeep, Land Cruiser, or daily driver. It is the late model Dodge unit with the correct shifter, for 1998 and up NV 4500 applications.
