NP435 issues

alright, me and spareparts took out the engine and transmission out of my '68 and put them into my '73. before the swap out they both worked just fine with minor tweaking needed. after putting them into the '73 the transmission is acting up. you can put it in neutral and it will act like its in gear and the clutch works just fine. does anybody have any advice for this situation. thanks you and i appreciate it in advance.

Did you pull the shifter to remove the transmission? Rails are not lined up if you pull shifter w/ it in gear. I would check the shift rail to see if it's in neutral or not. Looks like [ ]. I had to use a mirror to look down shifter cover.

yeah we had to remove the shifter but i dont believe that anything moved in there. if i remember correctly i think we had it in first when we removed the transmission so when we removed the shifter it was in first i believe. ill have to ask spareparts he was able to get the shifter off. thanks ET

Sounds like one of the forks might not be in the groove on the gear/synchronizer.

Just for clarification did you pull the top cover or just the shifter?

Sounds the shifter isn't in the right location. Pull it out and put the transmission in neutral and reinstall it. If you use a flashlight and a mirror it should look like 2 U's facing one another when it's in neutral. If you try to reinstall the shifter with the transmission in gear it's a lot harder to make sure you have it installed correctly.

Yep, a gear came dislodged from the shifting fork....pull the top cover and put it back in line and put the top back on and you will be fine. Here are pics of how it should line up.
