The alignment of the adapter plate, bellhousing, and tranny is VERY important.
Using the front bearing retainer from the NV4500 tranny is the trick to getting
everything aligned properly. |

 |
Bellhousing MUST be modified for this adapter kit to be installed. |
|
 |
By using the bearing retainer from the tranny to align the adapter plate to the
centerline of the bellhousing, you can be assured that the tranny is centered on
the engine crankshaft. |
