NP 435 rebuild help

[Jangel]

I just finished rebuilding my NP435 with a complete kit from Novak. I followed all the instructions and thought that it went acttually pretty smoot, but........ after getting everything put back together and taking it for a test drive I have a problem. I shifts fine in 1st and 2nd, but it's hard finding 3rd and 4th? I can find them but they are hard to find and hard to get to engaged? Any ideas? I'm getting ready to tear it all out and check it out, but thought I'd see what everybody on here thinks. TIA

sounds like you may have one of the shift forks not in it's grove.

Well it looks like the forks are ok. Any other ideas??
