Complete SM465 Transmission Package

Easily one of the very best four-speed transmissions ever built; the SM465.

Features

sm465_transfer_case_adapter_overheadOur Muncie 465 is professionally and meticulously rebuilt. We use the best components, including bearings, synchronizers, bushings, seals and gaskets built by our SM465 specialist and expert. Any available updates and improvements are performed.

A new, unbent transmission shifter cane is included and ready for the installer to bend to the particular application and driver's preference (if you wish you use your factory stick, let us know and we'll apply a discount).

Applications & Compatibility

Factory Style Build vs. Adapted Build

Our factory style builds are OEM style replacement transmissions that may require the use of the vehicle owner's original tailhousing (either 2wd or 4wd) to complete the installation. 

Adapted builds are designed primarily for installation into Jeep vehicles and include the installed aftermarket Novak mainshaft, adapter kit, rear mount, and pilot bushing as indicated for the customer's scenario.

Transfer Case Adaptability 

Your 465 can be ordered ready to join to the following Jeep transfer cases:

We can also do a full rebuild of your Jeep transfer case if you would like to ship it to us. We can provide any upgrade components for it that you wish. It will be pre-installed to the transmission and ready to lift into your Jeep.

Bellhousing Compatibility 

We will configure your front input section for a variety of OEM or conversion bellhousings including:

  • GM 4-11/16" bore bellhousings (machining of your bellhousing may be required - please inquire)
  • GM 5-1/8" bore bellhousings
  • AMC I6 (258 & 4.0L) & V8 bellhousings

We can often source a bellhousing or use your particular GM or AMC bellhousing as required. Conversions to AMC bellhousings will include necessary machining for Crank Position Sensors (CPS), face pockets (if necessary) and the bellhousing rear face bolt pattern. The pilot bushing is included as specified.

Installation

Your 465's Construction:

We start with a great core transmission and do a full disassembly and breakdown

Detailed parts inspection and measurement are performed

The main case and top cover are hot-cleaned, media blasted, primed and enameled with a tough, industrial grade finish

The top shifter cover is fully rebuilt with new springs, poppets and hardware

Full gearbox reassembly using all new bearings, bushings, synchronizers, snap rings - all consumable transmission parts - are replaced and new hard parts are installed wherever indicated, including the improved 3rd gear assembly

A new reverse switch with simple spade style terminals is installed

Your transfer case and bellhousing (if available) are installed and configured

The transmission undergoes a 24 hour leakdown test, after which it is fully stress-tested through all gears on our 300 HP test stand

Logistics

Your transmission package is palleted, wrapped, fully insured and ready to bolt into your application. Novak will seek the best competitive shipping rates with our extensive trucking networks. It will arrive at a location of your choosing, though we strongly recommend a business location with a dock / forklift for delivery, as residential and liftgate fees can add up to an extra $100. per delivery.
