    Detroit locker

    Transmission help

    Nv4500 is looking good to me. Any links to existing replacement forums someone's been kind enough to share? What are the advantages/disadvantage of overdrive? How is it better/worse than a transmission replacement? I don't understand overdrive. Thanks!
