Upgrades for my NP435?
I've been having some shuddering on take off in second and reverse and am thinking my clutch is giving. If I'm going to have the clutch rebuilt, I was thinking about rebuilding the transmission while it's out. I have no idea how many miles are on the 4 speed. I would love to be able to afford a ranger gear or similar overdrive type unit since I do a lot of highway driving, but the extra $1500 or so is not in the budget.
My question is, are there any performance parts that can be used during the rebuild? May be a stupid question, but I know very little about transmissions. I figured since it's going to be rebuilt, why not spend a few extra dollars on better parts. How about the clutch? Any suggestions? If yes, where can I find these parts? Thanks.
Oh, transmission is on my '78 F150 Ranger 4x4 with built 400. I believe gearing is 3.73. 31" tires.

There might be, but there is no need to. The 435 is bullet proof. They easily stand up to built 460.
