Advance Adapters Vintage Saturn Overdrive and the Latest Tremec TR4050 Transmission Conversions

by Moses Ludel
Advance Adapters products span over a half-century of design and production. The Saturn (Warn) Overdrive still serves vintage Jeep® and Scout owners needs while the latest 4×4 conversion trend is the heavy duty Tremec TR4050 5-speed transmission.

Advance Adapters has met the needs of the 4×4 community since 1971. A legacy product for 1941-71 Jeep® 4x4s with Model 18 Spicer transfer cases is the (Warn-design) Saturn Overdrive that Advance Adapters has manufactured and improved since 1991. The unit fits neatly at the PTO opening and provides a 25% planetary overdrive for highway use with split shifting possible between transmission gears.

Fast forward to contemporary 5-speed overdrive needs, and the hybrid heavy duty aluminum case Tremec TR4050 4×4 transmission is now available through Advance Adapters. A replacement for the NV4500, these new TR4050 transmissions feature a synchromesh 6.16:1 first gear plus 5th overdrive. Rated 600 lb-ft torque stamina, the TR4050 is an ideal conversion for a higher output gasoline V8 into a 4×4 Jeep®, Land Cruiser, early Bronco or 4×4 light truck. Steve Roberts walks us through this trending conversion strategy.
