Installation Notes:
Installation is very simple in most applications as follows: Just remove the transmission extension housing and bolt on the Gear Vendors replacement housing which has an eight hole pattern to receive the overdrive. Tighten the eight nuts and take the driveshaft with the new yoke (included) to the local driveshaft shop to be shortened (as per the instructions). Plug in the electronics and fill the overdrive with the recommended lube, and you are ready to drive.


 


All trucks, RV’s, and vans, have clearance for the overdrive but some cars and street rods can have very tight tunnel areas. Typically the overdrive fits these rides just perfectly but if they are tight it is usually just at the two upper rear case studs. These studs can be shortened easily and/or the tunnel can just get a 1/2 inch wide dimple in that area. In tight applications you will attach the overdrive to the transmission with the Trans back up into position to determine exactly the point of contact. The most that is ever required is this dimple (usually Then only if the subframe brace happens to be in that area). As you can see above the overdrive is very compact (roughly the dimensions of a standard coffee can) and looks very factory once installed. Kits come with detailed installation instruction set.

Electronics:

Gear Vendors electronics offer several features unique to the industry. In this electronic age the importance of communication with the on board factory processor of any late model vehicle is a necessity for good performance. Our systems allow many specific features (depending on the vehicle), such as; automatic engagement, and disengagement (AUTODRIVE tm), auto lockout in 4wd mode, manual override, indicating lights to show auto mode and engagement, double overdrive canceling (for vehicles where double overdrive would not be useful), automatic converter control during shifts for vehicles with lockup converters, accumulative shift counter to show you exactly how many times you used the overdrive over its life, troubleshooting indicating display, and digital ratio buffering to communicate with the vehicle computer.

These electronic features help you to get the most benefit every time you drive and allow for substantial performance improvements even when you just drive and let the AUTODRIVEtm circuit do the work.

In addition to the overdrive units, we also provide an impressive list of automotive after market products for car, pickup truck, SUV and 4wd repair parts and accessories that includes rear end covers, ring and pinion gears, OE clutches and heavy duty performance clutches, diesel gauge kits, exhaust brakes, re manufactured manual and automatic transmissions and both manual and automatic overhaul kits. Other products we offer for the RV recreational vehicle market include REMCO drivelinedisconnects, tow bar and baseplates and positraction units to improve vehicle performance and save fuel. We have a complete 4 wheeling drivetrain product line including complete differential assemblies, limited slip and other solid locking positractions. We offer transmission conversion kits including the NV4500 and NV5600 as well as replacement kits for light duty GM and Jeep transmissions.
