NP435 question
I have a 77 ford f150 four wheel drive with a 351M, my transmission is np435 with a mated 205 transfer case. Here's my problem when im driving around 65 or 70 and let off the pedal i hear a kind of a grinding sound coming from my trans, at first i thought is was the driveshaft but it wasnt cause i had it rebalanced and the guy said it shouldnt be vibrating and i notice that 3rd gear slides in smoothly but sometimes pop's out of gear. Is it a possiblity that my forks might be causing the grinding sound when i let off the pedal? I appreciate any help you guys offer
thanks

Had my 435 rebuilt twice thinking they did a poor job. The noise and vibration would not go away. A diffrent mechanic jumped in put the transfer case in neutral started it shifted through all the gears. Turned to me and said tranny runs smother as can be pull your rear end. Sure enough it was the rear ring and pinion. My biggeest costlyest embarrising mistake I've made.

Popping out of gear is shift fork wear, or shaft wear in the trans. You should be able to pull the floor panel up and take the top of the trans off in the vehicle, if you're model is made that way.
Who did the rear axle? I had some 4x4 outfit--"The 9 inch experts", put 5 (five) 9"s in my van before they found one their "expert" put together that didn't howl.
