It was a lot easier to use the stock style internal hydraulic slave cylinder/throw out bearing for a nv3500 with the original quick connect line that came on the s10 running to the clutch master cylinder
Get a longer bleeder line so you can run it in your engine bay and be easier to bleed the clutch just a suggestion that's how I have it in my ls swap bmw 535i
New subscriber Following! Since I can’t afford a T56 and all the AR5 has went through the roof also guess my last hope to get a manual transmission in my 1988 Monte Carlo SS is a NV3500
4.8 with nv3500 here why not use the 4.3 throw out bearing it works fine and is available everywhere I stay away from that aftermarket stuff when possible
could have saved money. All 1996 and up GM truck manuals went to that internal slave. You could have looked up a 1996-2000 nv3500 from a 1500 truck or s10 and it would be the right part.
Ok so I been looking for answers and nothing. I posted this question a couple weeks ago with no answers. Maybe you got an answer please!!! Here's my post. Ok I need someone that has experience with nv3500s bolted to an LS. I went NV and did all the measurements and got it within specs. Here are my measurements Release bearing to front of trans 3.8" Engine to fly 3.35" distance From my understanding spec needs to fall in line with .125"-0.2" (mid .1625) unless someone has a different spec please let me know. That being said 3.8-3.35=.45" So I take that .45"-.1625= .2875 ( I did minus .1625 to keep it somewhere in the middle of spec allowed) I got a 10 pack of .05 spacers so I decided .1625/.05=5.75spacers I put in 6 spacers times .05=.3" So if my math is correct I take .45"-.3"=.15 and puts me in between the .125"-.2" range. For all you who followed the math so far and not racking there brain I put the trans on and when I did I feel like when pushing it on to the engine I can feel the tranny spring back like if the release bearing is to far forward. I ended up pushing it on and bolting it up. I pressure bled the system and the tranny won't go into any gear at all. I have been told two different things from friends, one person said to many spacers that tranny is should go in easily and not feel a push back at all and could be binding. Another person I spoke to said if the release bearing was to far forward than it would be engaged the entire time and go in to gear. Any advice welcome please!
@@petrolhead8851 it’s not that you can’t ask but if you do watch you would know a while back when the S10 truck became the focus both Venom and Gotham were done and not going to be builds after that.
So is this for the setup on a NV3500 with internal space? Or is that an external slave one? Looks internal but I’m in the same boat right now trying to find parts to mate my Nv3500 to my 5.3 ls.
Hey y’all I got a 99 Silverado swapped with a 6.0 vortec and a manual transmission from a v6 it won’t start from the key but I can start it through the screw driver on the starter any ideas neutral safety switch is new starter is new
Hey bro I had the exact same issue, I had to follow the pink remote switch from the starter to the fusebox, and I had to wire it to the starter relay if that makes sense. I'm pretty sure it happened when I had PCM issues and my clutch switch wouldn't activate
@@deadbeatgarage Soon as I get a spare, brother.. 😁 I understand, man..my ride is a mustang, and I'm a po' boy.. It wants a T56 or a TKX, but if makes do with a whole stack of junkyard T5s.

@@antuanperez426 Far be it from me to praise a slushbox, but a 4L60E is rated at 360 foot pounds of torque, the NV3500 tops out at 300 foot pounds.. You can take the slushbox to a trans builder and have it modded for serious power...not so much the NV3500. It's an upgrade over walking, but not much. 😁
Someone HELP me out here @ 3:05 clearly the diameter of the hole in the flywheel is substantially larger than the pilot bearing, isn't the Pilot bearing supposed to fit in the flywheel? I'm running into this exact issue right now, doing the clutch on my '07 Fit sport (usdm), ordered a LUK clutch kit & a lightweight flywheel. Compared them & the flywheel center hole is exactly as pictured on Bravus' set up here, the pilot bearing is way smaller.
@@ryurc3033 I doubt you'd make three full passes..my 4.3 (mostly) stock '95 C1500 eats these damn things like potato chips. If it's gonna be abused swap in an NV4500 from a 3/4 or 1 ton..not a race trans by any means, but it'll fit most anywhere the 3500 will, and it'll survive.
Here's to all of us that still have to use keys to open our doors!
My question is will the Nv4500 bolt up to any LS? Like a 6.0 Lq9?
Ayeee
@@SquareBodyK5 From everything I've seen yes you just have to buy the Bell housing
When I done mine I ordered the complete kit for an 04 silverado rst from rock auto. It came with every part you need
What’s the part package number
Part number
Bro that’s been over 3 years ago I have no idea on the part number
It was a lot easier to use the stock style internal hydraulic slave cylinder/throw out bearing for a nv3500 with the original quick connect line that came on the s10 running to the clutch master cylinder

Would it bolt up to the older nv3500 and is it plug and play or does it need to be shimmed
Cant wait to see it running bro!!!!
Ive always used a bushing in the crank. That’s how they have been when taken apart also. Always wondered the difference.
Great resource video for me, thank you, well done
The earlier NV3500s with the internal slave cylinders are better/easier to work on...
Cool little video. More please. 😎👍🛠
Do more videos like this.
That was awesome to share 👏
Progress, progress, progress. Hell yea man multiple projects all happening.

Ok I need someone that has experience with nv3500s bolted to an LS. I went NV and did all the measurements and got it within specs. Here are my measurements
Release bearing to front of trans 3.8"
Engine to fly 3.35" distance
From my understanding spec needs to fall in line with .125"-0.2" (mid .1625) unless someone has a different spec please let me know.
That being said 3.8-3.35=.45"
So I take that .45"-.1625= .2875 ( I did minus .1625 to keep it somewhere in the middle of spec allowed)
I got a 10 pack of .05 spacers so I decided .1625/.05=5.75spacers
I put in 6 spacers times .05=.3"
So if my math is correct I take .45"-.3"=.15 and puts me in between the .125"-.2" range.
For all you who followed the math so far and not racking there brain I put the trans on and when I did I feel like when pushing it on to the engine I can feel the tranny spring back like if the release bearing is to far forward.

Sweet! I CANT wait till you finally drop that motor in and get that first start up! By the way whatever happened to the Gothm build?
🤦♂️ dude come on at this point do you not watch the videos or are you new?
@@JustinFromThe206 I do Watch his videos but why CANT i just ask?
@@petrolhead8851 it’s not that you can’t ask but if you do watch you would know a while back when the S10 truck became the focus both Venom and Gotham were done and not going to be builds after that.
First! Let's go 🔥
You will have to cut a window in the tranny to run the lines to the throw out bearing and bleeder.
the NV3500 doesn't have these holes already?
@@808kahulaa It does bro's prolly a little on the slow side
@@antuanperez426 , I pulled one from a '95 not long after I commented, the concentric slave is the one with the holes, from '97 and up.
Great work. Good video.
Looking forward!
I’m from Ireland. Is there anyway to contribute towards the build?
Could have gotten everything from a 04 silverado 4.8 make sure 04+ they usually don’t show up if it’s not 04 for some reason
Could you not use the stock slave cylinder and throw out bearing assembly?
I'm trying to p mate this up to my 1983 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am V8
Damn it so I guess my stage 2 clutch for my nv3500 to ls4.8 won’t work?
Should have gotten the clutch for the 2006 4.3 with the nv3500 there is alot more clutch there than that has
Where’d you get your research I to am attempting to do the same
Does all these part numbers work for a 6.0 swap with a NV 3500 transmission?
If my NV3500 came off of a 97 Sierra, would I get a clutch for that model and year, or go ahead and do the s10 like you have

So is this for the setup on a NV3500 with internal space? Or is that an external slave one? Looks internal but I’m in the same boat right now trying to find parts to mate my Nv3500 to my 5.3 ls.

Is the 6.0 engine from a 99-00 with the long crank?
Hey bro I had the exact same issue, I had to follow the pink remote switch from the starter to the fusebox, and I had to wire it to the starter relay if that makes sense. I'm pretty sure it happened when I had PCM issues and my clutch switch wouldn't activate
Gnarly 🤙🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Why would you want to swap in a trans with internals made of peanut brittle & rock candy?
Would you like to ship me a t56?
Let me know, PO Box is in the description 👇🏻

Soon as I get a spare, brother..

I understand, man..my ride is a mustang, and I'm a po' boy..
It wants a T56 or a TKX, but if makes do with a whole stack of junkyard T5s.

Yes finally 🤙🏽
What is the part number for the adapter and extension line?
so......when does our merch ship?
Awesome
When will the Halloween shits be sent out haven't got mine yet

Nv3500 trans from what kinda v8 truck
Pretty sure he means the 4.3 nv3500 from the Blazer......
👍👍from this guy
Does anyone have the list 😢
So will a NV3500 not work with the stock clutch fork and throughout bearing?
Ford ranger use that part
