Took me a few months to do my ring and pinion. :)
"while I have the axle out, I might as well..."
1) re-arch the leaf springs! :)
2) drill the leaf springs to accept plastic pads
3) change mind, fix my "damage" and install grease zerks instead
4) weld up cracks in the frame around one shock mount
5) etc
(at least two dozen that don't include axle-inerds;)

I am loath to let others drive it since they may screw it up. It takes some expertise to be sure you are really in D and not N. Once in D or N however all is fine.
Could this also be caused by the worn bushings in the column as stated above ??
Should I disconnect the levers to the trans from the column and decide if the stiffness is in the column or in the trans??

). You do have to pull the steering wheel to get it though.
