nv3500 question

soLOWsoNOMA95 · 11-09-2009, 06:38 PM

hey guys i just picked up a 94 s10 4 3 5 spd (nv3500) and i was curious as to what u guys have done when bagging an s10 with this trans.... my slave cylinder area (front pass side of trans bell housing area) sits lower then the frame wut is the solution to this issue any help wud be great ( although i dont plan on bagging anytime soon or maybe not at all) but im very curios as i do drag that area over a hard bump with the 5 6 drop

i'm pretty sure '94 models didn't have a NV3500. most likely a borg-warner t-5.

swapping from this to the NV3500 will solve your problem because the slave cylinder is inside the bellhousing on the newer trannies

yes 94's have NV3500, mine does,and the slave IS inside the housing, I am bagged, layin frame and no issues, just a crunched up Y-pipe :-)

this trans looks to be a nv3500 cuz i have had a few s10s with the t5 and this trans looks nothing like it.my slave cyl is mounted on the front of trans on pass side and theres a metal shield bolted into frame to cover it from being bottomed out. something ive never seen before ne ideas?

Just put new motor mounts and tranny mounts in. That lifted mine up so it barely touched then I found a freshly paved road and drug it flat with the frame.

I had the same issue with my 95 S10... I was told it wouldn't lay out because of the bell housing so I never bagged it just lowered it and shattered the shit out of the housing in Allentown PA...

yea i was dragging that plate yesterday so i had to raise the truck back up an inch o well i dont think im gunna bag ti neways just curious

i bet it is the m50 trans. my 95 has that with the little bump on the pass side. i hate it cause when i was static i ripped out my slave cylinder and it really sucked ass.

i do want to find a nv3500, so if anybody knows what years they come in it would help...
