About Our Remanufactured NV3500 Transmission
At Reman-Transmission, we carry a wide variety of remanufactured and used nv3500 transmissions. We take a professional approach and go above and beyond what you’d expect from a simple rebuild or repair shop. Our remanufactured transmissions, including the NV3500, are rebuilt from the ground up with attention paid to quality and industry standards. In the end, you’ll get a complete transmission for your vehicle that offers the high quality and high performance you’ve come to expect from an original equipment manufacturer’s product, all at a reasonable cost.
A reconditioned transmission usually has its defective or worn out parts replaced with new or rebuilt ones, with the rest simply cleaned and thoroughly inspected for excessive wear and tear. Unfortunately, the uneven wear between the replaced and refurbished parts will more often than not put more stress on the transmission.

NV3500 Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between NV3500 and NV4500?
The NV3500 is a light-duty transmission with an all-aluminum two-piece casing and a bellhousing that’s integrated with the casing. The NV4500 is a heavy-duty variant that’s physically larger and features a cast iron casing with a bolt-on bellhousing. The NV4500 also has a higher load rating and a taller 1st gear.
How strong is the NV3500?
The NV3500 is rated for up to 300 lb-ft of torque in medium-duty form and 340 lb-ft in heavy-duty form, which makes it more than capable for a broad range of I4, V6 and V8 engine applications. A remanufactured unit will feature new or re-machined parts that exceed OEM specs.
Are all NV3500 transmissions the same?
There are light-duty and heavy-duty variants of the NV3500, although the latter was offered only on Chrysler trucks. You’ll also have a wide ratio and a narrow ratio version to choose from, with the former featuring taller 1st and 2nd gears.
Will a 5.3 bolt up to a NV3500?
Yes, the NV3500 is compatible with any 5.3 Chevrolet powertrain. GM paired the NV3500 to the similar but smaller 4.8 motor, so a 5.3 should bolt up to a NV3500 with minimal issues. All you’ll need is a reputable supplier who utilizes the VIN system to source exact match transmission.
NV3500 History & Information
The New Venture Gear 3500 traces its heritage back to 1988 when General Motors started production of the Getrag-designed HM290 manual transmission for use in GM’s C/K full-size pickup trucks. The next year saw the HM290 evolve into the 5LM60, later known as the New Venture Gear 5LM60. When the NV3500 debuted in 1993 as part of a joint venture effort between GM and Chrysler Corporation, it featured significantly improved and simplified internals despite being externally similar to the transmissions before it. For instance, the NV3500 featured a single shift rail, whereas its predecessors used a complex arrangement of 4 shift rails. It should also be noted that the NV3500 transmission was commonly mated up with the two different NP231 transfer cases including the NP231C, NP231D, and NP231HD. It was also once mounted to the NP233C transfer case. Before ordering a transfer case for your transmission, however, always make sure to run your VIN to make sure it fits.
Equipped with 5 fully synchronized forward gears and a synchronized reverse gear, the NV3500 proved to be a rock-solid option for GM and Dodge full-size trucks, including 1993-1998 Chevrolet and GMC C/K models and the 1994-2004 Dodge Ram 1500. GM and Chrysler also made the transmission available in their compact and midsize pickup offerings, including the 1993-2003 Chevrolet S-10 & Blazer and GMC Sonoma pickups, and the 1994-2004 Dodge Dakota midsize truck. The NV4500 and NV5600 were introduced around the same time as a heavy-duty transmission options for GM and Dodge trucks.
The NV3500 remains a swap-friendly top option for enthusiasts in search of an affordable drop-in replacement for a variety of domestic vehicles. The NV3500 pairs up well with a variety of factory GM auto engine options, including the 4.8 and 5.3 LS Chevrolet motors. It also helps that these transmissions are easy to find, cheap to buy, and hold up well on the street as long as you abide by the max torque specification. However, repairing or rebuilding an NV3500 requires advanced tools, a good service manual, and careful attention paid to detail. If you need your old NV3500 rebuilt or want a crate NV-3500 from a reputable manufacturer, the smart choice is to buy a remanufactured nv3500 transmission that costs significantly less than a new one. Fortunately, Reman-Transmission has remanufactured NV3500 transmissions for sale.
