Hey guys,
been putting in long hours for the last month or so on the bronco.
went for its main voyage tonight, which i came back not to happy
I installed the following
Dana 44 swap
Np435 and gear Banger
Twin Stick with Interlock pin removal.
Spool in rear end.
I have 2 main issues i need some guidance
1) transfer case FRONT will not shift into high at all, wont even try to go in. Acts like it is not there. It will go into Low fine. the Rear works perfect.
When the front is neutral it has a lot of play and sloop and is really easy to move, so loose the twin stick boot will move it with the rear shifter.
I did tear down the whole t case to remove the interlock pins. All went well and went back together good, HOPEFULLY CORRECTLY. LOL
2) Gear banger is extremely tough. all the gears work, but holy cow it would take the hulk to shift this thing.
I loosened both bolts on the shifter basically hand tight and it helped some, but still really tough.
It is impossible to shift from second to 3rd. i have to come to almost a complete stop, and that is even if i find the 3rd gear.
3rd - 4th is pretty simple of course, still hard.
I know 1st is a granny low, but is still possible to shift from 1st to 2nd.
I can't pull it out of 1st unless i stop.
Also this is a older gear banger shifter and the collar is about 1.5-2inch up on the np435 stub shifter.
sorry for the rant but the whole project Kicked my A** and just need to vent. LOL
Any suggestion on where to start, hoping to not have to drop the t case.
Thanks ahead of time for any ideas.![Cool :cool: :cool:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
