Service Notes

Gaskets are not used in the NV3500 transmission. Sealers are used at all case joints. Recommended sealers are MOPAR Gasket Maker for all case joints and MOPAR silicone sealer, or equivalent, for the input shaft bearing retainer. Apply these products as indicated in the assembly procedures.

NOTE: It is very important that the transmission shift components be in Neutral position during assembly. This is necessary to prevent damaging synchro and shift components when the housings are installed.

The 3-4, 1-2 and fifth-reverse synchro hub snap rings can be fitted selectively. New snap rings are available in 0.05 mm (0.0019 inch) thickness increments. Use the thickest snap ring that will fit in each snap ring groove.
