445 and 4530 are the same thing go figure.Gear ratios are the same as the first four gears of a 4500.Dodge application 445/4530's have a bigger case but a shorter tailshaft housing resulting in the same overall length as the 435...direct bolt in.I've run this trannie behind a 440 in a w200 crewcab for years.I love it 1st gear starts and taller in 2nd and 3rd,nomore screaming at 45 mph in 3rd gear like the 435.
