Great video; it was clear, concise, and very helpful. Note for anyone working on a 70s Dodge NP435 with tapered input bearing: There is a roller thrust bearing between the input shaft and main shaft. Also, if you have a 2wd or divorced transfer case unit, you will need seal P/N: 8160S, as none of the standard kits (even for dodge) come with one.
Excellent presentation. You explained the procedure very well. Great easy to understand narration also. Working on one of these in a Fairmont railroad motorcar with a 2.3 L Ford (1979) engine. I have used Novak Conversions for parts, I make all my gaskets. Thanks very much!
Right now this 435 is bound up for some reason, we'll review your video in great detail on the reassembly process to make sure we have everything assembled correctly!@@YoshimoshiGarage
Probably. The NP435 was used for a lot of years across a lot of vehicles, not just Dodge. If it's a NP435, the only possible difference would be that input bearing being a tapered roller instead of ball, but the rebuild process is the same.
Really it's all about what bearings are in the kit. Most of the rest is gaskets, etc. I went with a kit from Cobra Transmission but made sure to order one with name brand bearings.
I was wondering when we would see a new vid. Always good to see a detailed video 🤜👍

Novak is a great resource

I believe that opening on the side you described as an inspection port is actually where the optional PTO bolts up for an axillary hydraulic pump.
Yes, you definitely can find a PTO that bolts to them. Could be a pump, or just a shaft to drive really anything you want
Yes
What type of oil do they take? Does it matter or?
80/90 synthetic unless you're in the arctic or maybe summer desert/jungle in which use I'd use 30W and 80/140 respectively
Yes it matters. 80w90 GL-4 gear oil, not GL-5. Hard to find in auto parts stores these days, but available online.
Had a np445 professionally rebuilt now it shifts super hard between 1st and second, what would be the problem, they did replace a new synchro, ?
I would expect a new synchro to make it easier. I wonder if it's adjusted tight and has to break in?
Is this the same as the one in the 1966 d200 with granny gear?

What rebuild kit did you go with and is it a good one?

Is there anything you don't know about building mechanical things? Lol
Oh, no... Don't feed his ego!
@@damnimcooltom1 haha right!
