Transmition clicking

My 79 F350 with factory 4 speed has a clicking noise coming out of the transmission when driving in compound and reverse. Is it time for a complete rebuild or is it possable its something simple?
Is the transmition a T18, T19, Or the NP 435 and how do I tell the difference?

I saw yer post and thought maybe somebody was pulling a trick on you. Sorry I can't provide tech help on your tranny issue but I can tell you a great gag to pull on your buds...

Get a large long zip tie and install it on your pal's driveshaft. Install it so the uncut tang will slap the body once the shaft starts rotating... better yet if you're riding inside with him or her.

In terms of IDing trannies, there should be a tag mounted on its side. On an NP435, it faces the passenger side and held on by rivets. Decode the model number by searching online.....Heres' a wepage to help you out:

The Borg-Warner T18 & T19 Transmissions - Novak Conversions
Click on "Transmissions" on the left nav menu and have at it... there's a page dedicated to the NP435 and many others.
