Hi Everyone,
This probably isn't the best way to approach this problem; but, I am going post some information to see if anyone else has related experience that might help.
In our '70 we have a NP435 mated to a 347 Stroker. The Bronco hasn't been driven anywhere other than up on the trailer a half dozen times in the last 10 years. (It's long slow build.)
Two years ago while some other work was being done to the Bronco we had a WH Gear Banger installed.
I don't recall what the transmission was like shifting before the Gear Banger; but, with it, shifting is really hard.
I don't know if the problem is that the transmission has been sitting so long and that may there's some surface oxidation on some of the internals, or if it has to do with the alignment of the Gear Banger, or if there is another problem. I have worked on greasing joints on the Gear Banger and realigning it. It hasn't made much difference.
Any thoughts on where I might start troubleshooting. I have very limited experience with transmissions.
Thanks,
Jeff
