Sack up and do it you puss.
Bring it to a work day at travis's, I'll help you rebuild it.
From what I understand they also sold the T18 in later model broncos (80s.) It was attached to either a 300, 302, or 351w. The bellhousing on all of those motors do not match the 400 I have, but is it possible to swap bellhousings? How much of a pita are we talking?
My NP435 bell housing can be swapped with 4 bolts....Quote:

a 435 is one inch shorter than a T18. If your driveshafts can't handle that, they don't have enough slip in them anyway.
I'm already pushin it with the stock driveshafts after the lift, so yes I'm sure
you are going to spend the same amount on a junk transmisson as a rebuild kit for yours. rebuild it and you know its not a piece of ****. are you positive you have a t18?
positive in three waysQuote:

Bring it to travis's house one weekend. Do it while the dexter press is still there.

Although I will talk good about Novak to anyone who will listen and I think they are a badass company who does great work, just order the rebuild kit through standard transmission in Fort Worth (link in above post). They will be much quicker on shipping, prob cheaper, and quality parts. Hell if you get a nice guy on the phone and chat with him for a while I bet they will give you some sort of deal. I got some parts for the np-435 shipped for free through them.Quote:

Missing an ear on the yoke. Going to replace the yoke, seal, maybe bearings too who knows
Be careful when tightening the yoke back down. Stock 9" use a crush sleeve to set pinion bearing preload. You can upgrade the crush sleeve to solid shims though. I would just change the seal/yoke and be done with it. If you change the bearings then the pre-load has to be re-adjusted. If you do go this route then go ahead and get rid of the crush sleeve for the solid shim.
