5LM60/NV3500 Manual Please

[WeirdTim]

Hello.

Last night I was fortunate to find a 5 speed out of a 1992 C1500 with the single front input shaft bearing instead of the dual bearing set up found on my 1990. The shifter assembly was thrown in with the new transmission as well. The seller said that the synchro is going out for 4th gear, which isn't a big deal.

Would like to split the cases and at the very least put all new bearings in the new transmission. I know in 1992 they still retained the four shifter rails. Just would like a factory manual(s) or some sort of accurate reference material before I start to dig into it. Got a PDF of a OE GM manual for my 1990 C1500 but not for a 1992.

My truck is a C1500 step side Silverado with the stock 5 speed and 5.7 with 219K miles.

Thanks in advance.

My 92 k2500 is the light duty one, pretty much a half ton with a 14 bsf still 6 lug with the getrag 290 (5lm60) the bell housing is integrated to the aluminum housing. I have heard form people that this transmission is a pain to rebuild. Thats just what I heard, I have no personal experience with transmissions besides taking them out.

Just ordered a OE GM manual for a 1992 C1500 on CD as that what truck the 5LM60 I am going to go through is from. Very complete and was under $30 on Amazon.com.

Also, I purchased the correct Kentmore pallet to hold the gear set into position. Paid $200 off eBay but I got my 1992 5LM60 for $100 so it was easily justified.

Plan on going though the 5LM60 that's in the truck now once switched out with the rebuilt 92 one.
