First off, I tryed the search.. Im new to the transmission swapping with Cavys.. I know where to get the NVG-T550 but is there anything else I'll need with it.. (Ex. Axles?)I have a '97 Z-24 5-speed

You didn't search hard enough.

I just finished reading a crapload of info from ppl that did the swap and said what was involved... in fact some had pictures (links are dead)

Anyway I am JUST about to do this swap (well Racetech will do it for me) but I've been researching it. You need:

-NVT Tranny
-NVT front mount
-NVT slave cylinder if you have a 92
-NVT Throwout bearing

You need to lengthen the shifter linkage bracket a bit to reach the stock cables...

other than that it SHOULD bolt right up.

Mine should be done by end of July with:

Spec Stage 3 Clutch
NVT550 Tranny
NVT550 Axles
Solid Mounts
B&M Shifter

I'm pretty stoked.

..Ok so maybe I needed to look a little more..lol.. but anyway, is there any other good advise?... and what about the axles?

FIll me in on this. What is the NVT550 ?


<a href="http://nystreetscene.com">http://nystreetscene.com</a>

NVG-T550, its a transmission from a 2.3HO quad 4... its supposed to have better gears than one from a '97 2.4.. 5-speed...

Okay, so you need:

*The tranny out of a 92-94 HO
* Front mount
*Axles
*throw out

BUT:
* what about the clutch? Do you need the one for the NVT (2.3) or for the 2.4?
* how do you 'lengthen' the shift linkage bracket? On the tranny or in the car?
*does the stock second mount work?

they said on one post that you use whichever clutch fits the flywheel, and i believe they said that the one from the HO2.3 is actually lighter(flywheel).. Im not sure how to lengthen the links and all they said about the mounts was that youll need the front one from that tranny.. Id like to know the answers to those questions also..

i made a post over a year ago when i did the swap; all of the answers are in there.

My NVG is going in this week.

After examining the two transmissions it appears I can use the ISUZU throwout bearing that came with my new Spec stage 3 Clutch.

Needed:

NVG-T550 transmission 93-94 only
NVG-T550 front transmission mount
Isuzu rear transmission mount (will need to be modified)
NVG / Isuzu throwout bearing

You use the Isuzu clutch and flywheel.

You'll also need to make a bracket to lengthen the shifter linkage for the cables.

Other than that it should bolt right up to the side of the engine.

As for the axles: I got 'em too. They're going in with the tranny.
