NV 3500 price?

[redchev95]

i am looking for a rebuilt trans for my truck all the trans shops around me are telling me $1,800-$2,200 after core i found this one http://www.smartpartsauto.com/manual_transmission_nv3500_chevy.html after shipping its $1,325 total and for that price i keep my old one. $190 return shipping not worth $200 core i would get $10 back lol 'not worth my time' what do you guys think is this a fair deal? i would rebuild mine but it was very loud and fourth gear was bad also end of input shaft is spun so what do ya think guys? should i get this one or dose anyone know of a cheaper place to go?

Does the price from the locals include installation?The price from the online shop looks good ,but thats also you installing the unit & if its bad you have to pull & ship unit back then sit & wait for return.Just something to think about

that price from local shops is not installed its just tranny by it self!!! i already have it out so i am just waiting to find one to throw in myself. the only used ones around are $750 or more and who knows what kinda shape those are in

I know personally if my trans fails I will start looking for an NV4500 to replace it with. Those can be had for about $1,000.

A NV4500 is way stronger, those prices are kinda steep for a 3500

$1,300 at my door for complete rebuild unit with one year unlimited mile warintie sound ok right?

What did the 4500 come in?

 

[MIHELA]

93-02 3/4 and 1 ton trucks with a 5 speed. They have a cast iron top-loading case and a removable bellhousing. 93-94 have a super low first gear that changed to a bit higher one in 95+. Some half-ton trucks with the work truck package came with them as well in the early years, but it's pretty spotty. 3500HDs have them too but only in RWD form.

wow, I got a hit on a 95 1 ton with a 5 spd....I'll check it out. My cousin had a 93 3/4 ton with that trans in it with the granny gear. If I remember correctly, thats a heavy ass trans....but not a bad idea

I've seriously thought about doing the t56 swap out of a early 90s camaro....this 3500 is bugging the **** out of me.
