Something is binding..
Did you cut off enough material at the end of the output shaft?
Maybe the bolts are too long and bottoming out?

I did the conversion and I had no problems with a gap on top. I did not cut off the shaft. I got the intermediate housing and the 1" adapter plate and was good to go. Never heard of cutting the input shaft 1". Tim

I just installed a 2wd NP435 this afternoon. I also did NOT cut an inch off the output shaft. I used a 6 cylinder intermediate housing and spud shaft. Also used a 1 inch adapter plate. It all fit with no gaps and nothing hung up...

I did not use a spud shaft. I did not need one I thought.

There is a threaded section on the short 2WD output shaft that needs to cut off to work with those aftermarket adaptors.

Again, I did not cut off the threaded portion of the output shaft, and it fit just fine.

I made the cut also. I did a dry run on my bench prior to the install and it was obvious I needed to remove some material off of the shaft.

I had seen conflicting reports of a yes cut, and a no cut.

I cut. No problem.

I used the intermediate housing adapter from JBG and I removed the treaded section from the output shaft. I also did a bench fit like ManTruck and everything went together fine.

I used a 2WD NP435 with the square bolt pattern.

Yes, but you are using a plate, not one of the adaptor kits.
