So I found a sweet deal on a 04 nv5600 out of a 3500 with everything included. I'm just wondering what I need to bolt this beast up to my 95 12v. Help is much appreciated and sites or places to find parts is always a great help too

 

Will need the trans bellhousing adapter, starter, flywheel, clutch, and hydraulics for clutch.

 

Any idea what site has most that stuff? And I just put a starter in the truck not but 2-3 months ago why do I need to get another starter?

 

Thickness of bellhousing adapter and flywheel ring gear placement as far as starter concerned. What does everything included from donor mean? Is it a wreck being parted out or is owner swapping transmissions? I know I have an adapter and bellhousing available, not sure if for G56 or NV. Will check this weekend. If donor is changing trannies, he will go thru same so adapter and bellhousing should be available.

 

It comes with clutch pcm pedals shafts tcase and Trans I believe the flywheel stays with the engine which the owners keeping and the guys just parting it out idk why but he's selling all that trans stuff for dirt cheap.

 

So I found out why he's selling it. Do you have the special adapters that I could purchase off you by chance?

 

Still haven't made it to storage place to check pt #s. As far as the rest of the stuff, if it's that cheap, jump on it. Even if you have to buy the remaining pieces new, you'll still be ahead. None of us are rich, but if you want it bad enough, you will pay for it. Why you wanting 6 spd anyways? 5 spd is better for performance apps. 6 spd is best for towing heavy stuff, but you don't get into boost curve till 5th & 6th gear. What trans you have now? South Bend Clutch sells a kit that comes with flywheel and clutch set.

 

Only reason I'm going with a 6spd is 1. Currently cheaper that buying a 5spd swap 2. It's not very common to have a 12v 6spd
And I have a 3spd w/od right now that's crapped the bed and I'm not really looking for alot of power or anything I'm looking for just a 1 of a kind build on this truck. And I'm also looking for the fuel economy. I've read that the 6spd leave you at a lower rpm on the highway.

 

Given the fact that both the 5600 and 4500 have a .73 od ratio, you won't gain any mileage. You will be very busy just rowing thru the first 4 gears. The 4500 conversion would be cheaper than you'd think. The 04 clutch pedal probably wont fit and you would be able to re use your old trans adapter and starter with the 4500.. I do have the trans adapter and bell housing for the 5600. I believe you would be spending about the same or less for the 5 spd as you can get a brand new 4500 for $1695 with shifter stub and latest improvements from Midwest Transmission Center. You'll be at the junk yard looking for the pedal and shaft for under dash and bell housing & stick as well. You will need to buy the same clutch kit with flywheel for either and you don't know if the 6spd was damaged in wreck. The 5 spd is geared to your 2500 governor and the 04 has a 700 rpm higher governor and the 6 spd is geared for that. Not trying to talk you out of it, but doing it for the cool factor rather than comfort & functionality seems silly. With the 6 speed, you'd have to shorten the rear driveline and lengthen the front if 4wd. I think you wont have to do that with the 5spd. Think about it dude, keep it simple.

 

Ok good point I'll keep it in mind thanks
