Should be right on as far as the driveshaft goes, in some cases if there is a different rear end you may need a conversion u joint but odds are it would be good to go.

You'd also need to wire up the reverse lights, and, if you are thorough, install a manual steering column and gage cluster, although the truck will still drive without doing so.

As far as the engine controls, the only way to fix it would be to swap the computer for a manual trans unit. I'd personally just send it and not worry about it. If you plan to upgrade later it would be less of a hassle since you wouldn't need to worry about the transmission controller.

How do you wire up the reverse lights? Which wires needs to be spliced? Thank you.

All you really need is to run a wire to the switch on the transmission that is hot with ignition on. Then run the other wire to the reverse lights

Any good resources for the wiring? Would it be best if I get one of those Haynes or chiltons books. Also what about the neutral switch I’ve been reading about that some.

There’s a thread on here called “88-98 Service Manuals” where you can find a pdf of the wiring manual for most years. I’d check there

If you decide on the NV4500 another option would be to get one from 96-up, use the OEM bell that came with that NV4500, put the internal slave in it, and use the 1995 master cylinder which has the same size bore as the 96-up master. The 96-up doesn’t bolt up to the firewall like the 95 and earlier hydraulic. That’s what I’ve done and that’s what Advance Adapters recommends. However AA does make a bell that would bolt up to your TBI and the NV4500, it just doesn’t work on four wheel drive units because the front driveshaft interferes with an external slave. I think it works on two wheel drive GMs, but you’d need to call them and double check. I haven’t finished bleeding my system but when I do I’ll post on here how the 92 Chevy master works with my 2005 Chevy new internal slave. I’ve gravity bled it and gotten a lot of bubbles out but just need to get some vacuum on the master to finish it up I think. I’m going to try a compressed air vacuum tool for radiators and maybe a dry vacuum bleed if needed, which I saw demonstrated on a Perfection Clutch YouTube vid.

My 1998 Chevy K-1500 has the NV3500. It shifts very smoothly after all these years.

The only issue I'v had is the reverse lights don't work. I replaced the switch in the NV 3500 transmission, but whatever pushes the ball in to engage the reverse lights doesn't work properly. It's getting power to the switch, so that's not the issue.

The reverse lights work if I press the ball in manually outside of the transmission with no problem. I can't see tearing the transmission down just for that, so I installed a switch on the dash to engage the reverse lights, when I need them. It has a red l light engage on the dash switch, so I don't forget that the reverse lights are in the ON position. It's a cheap fix, but it works.
