Parts for the
SM465 Transmission
The SM465 is arguably one of the greatest four-speed transmissions ever built, and reconditioning one is a worthwhile project.
The Kit
Our master rebuild kit has been assembled for our customer's rebuilds as well as our own. It is the most complete kit we've seen anywhere and features all the consumable and wear item components for both the main case and top cover shift rails.
Our kit standardizes the SM465 thrust washer and endplay and we recommend that you use the supplied shaft bushings with the supplied thrust washer for simplicity.
There are two versions of our rebuild kit, each compatible with all 2wd, 4wd and conversion 465's:
- The first and most common kit is for 1968-1987 versions with the narrower .68" front bearing.
- The last kit is for the 1988-1991 version - typically with the aluminum top cover - with the wider .83" front bearing. The only way to know this version is to remove the front bearing retainer and check for a #211 bearing or to remove it and measure its width.
Quality you can count on.
Our master rebuild kits have been assembled for our customer's rebuilds as well as the thousands of rebuilds we do at Novak. It is the most complete kit we've seen anywhere and features all the consumable and wear item components. Cut-rate "BK" basic kits seen on the market don't hold a candle to the Novak kits' quality and completeness.
These rebuild kits set the industry standard for reliability, using only premium bearings and seals from proven manufacturers like Timken, JTEKT, Nachi, CR Seals, and more. No single brand makes every part we require, so we hand-select each component to ensure unrivaled performance and longevity.
Novak kits include:
- World class deep ball roller and needle bearings
- Premium seals with best sealing forms and materials
- Thick, strong gaskets
- Precision brass synchro (blocker) rings
- Top cover rebuild components: plugs, poppet springs, balls, interlocks, etc
- New synchronizer struts and springs
- Instructions, based on our own in-house rebuilds
- Access to Novak's SM465 rebuild techs if you have rebuild questions
Rebuild Requirements
It is common for our customers to do top-level rebuild work, using good methods and by following our included instruction guide.
We suggest the rebuilder have access to a set of snap ring pliers, a bearing puller and a hydraulic press.
