After pulling off the pan I saw that my new steering column was shifting te wrong direction and I needed the move the distal lever from the 3pm position to the 9pm position. Before I had pulled off the pan, I realized I was starting the truck in D2 and could never even reach part because the linkage doesn't allow for the extent of the range needed to get to park. I'll have to replace the linkage in the future that allows for a greater range. In addition to this, my np203 won't go into the position closest to the seat. SO when I moved 1 notch from the seat thinking I was then in high, it was in neutral. And I had no clue that that allowed the drive shaft to spin until you all helped me out.
Thanks. I got it all put back together today and it is working perfect.
