NP435 Shifter Removal

I’m trying to removed the shifter from my np435 to pull the trans out. There is a little cap on the shifter that is keeping it from popping out whenever I turn the little ring to release it. Any ideas? Couldn’t find anything anywhere on how to take this cap off

That's not a NP435. It's a Borg-Warner T-18 and the cap simply threads off of the top of the transmission, then the stick just lifts out.

Big Channel locks will remove the cap. After that you need to push down on the ball and turn it. That part is a bitch.

Yes, for a NP435. Not for a T-18.

Your right. I wasn't paying attention.

Gotcha I thought it was the np435 cause I was able to put that inner ring down and spin it. I’ll have to try it again tomorrow

I'm late to the party here but just in case you haven't done it yet, make sure the trans is in neutral when you remove the shift lever.

And also that the small (1/4") pin that goes sideways into the shifter ball, doesn't drop into the trans as you lift the shifter out. If it does, drain the oil & you should be able to retrieve it through the PTO port.
