It's going on a 2003 5.3L LM7** A: I do not know if it will fit the 5.3 block. But this is definitely the correct bell housing for the newer nv4500 with the hydraulic slave cylinder. I believe it may fit, but I would check to see if the 5.3 block has the same mounting holes as the 5.7 (350) if so it should bolt up **Q: did it work with 2000 6.0 ltr GMC ? manual ?** A: 5 spd manual. yes **Q: Will this work on a 02 Chevy 2500 hd 6.0 with a nv4500?** A: Yes ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ bolted up to a silverado 5 speed LS to a 1998 nv45 *by R***D on January 31, 2025* Ran on a 5.3 nv4500 build. Shifted very poorly but likely due to engine dowel pins or something putting weight on the input shaft. The 4.8, 6.0, and 4.3 motors all came with manual trans as an option, not the 5.3. Maybe the crank is crookedAt this point i believe this 2003 motor wasn't meant to house a 5 speed because all 4 manual transes i tried on it shift like a s s. This is a cult problem ive seen on forums that has yet to be solved. ### ⭐⭐ Do not recommend for nv4500 *by M***H on November 13, 2024* Swapped 5speed nv4500 into my 06 SilveradoAnd used this bell housing because it shows the exact gem part number I had researched and found I neededOn arrival bellhousing had a very noticeable crack running front to back maybe 3 inches longWe just drilled the crack in the end and sent it because I had already tore the automatic trans outIt would not fit over a stock 4.8/6.0 pressure plate ( my truck is a 5.3 and they never came with a straight shift )had to grind material away on the inside to get it to fit and also had to elongated 2 bellhousing bolt to block holesBut I will say it’s been in for over a year and it has been beat on and it’s still holding up so I’m not sure if I just happened to order the wrong part number or what hope this helps any one in the future if I can find the pictures of the crack I will attach them but it was also a year or so ago ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heat quality *by A***R on May 21, 2019* It fit exactly like it should ## Frequently Bought Together - ACDelco GM Genuine Parts 15998496 Manual Transmission Clutch Housing - Schaeffler LuK LSC265B Clutch Slave Cylinder, OEM Clutch Release Replacement Parts --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/36641705-gm-genuine-parts-15998496-manual-transmission-clutch-housing](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/36641705-gm-genuine-parts-15998496-manual-transmission-clutch-housing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
