NP205 Issue
This is bad right?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64DhfwLOmeE My truck feels like its chained to a boulder, like maybe the e brake is stuck on but its not (rear brakes are not getting hot at all). |

Re: NP205 Issue
Nope..totally normal. When you bolt on the adapter it will retain the bearing and center up the gear inside.
As far as 'being chained to a boulder' what does that imply?? |

It does not coast as freely down a slight incline as both of the other trucks did before they were sacrificed. The drag increases gradually as the truck warms up and eventually reaches a point where the motor will stall when the trans is put in reverse and drive (reverse is worse for some reason). The pump on the th400 is whining a little, so I guess that could be it but it did that in the other truck before the swap. Last time I drove it around the block it got so bad that the starter wasnt able to turn the motor over anymore even in park. I have unbolted the torque converter and it slides back and forth with the required 1/8" space and spins easily. I'm at the point where I'm tearing it back apart to see if I can find any evidence. |

Re: NP205 Issue
Have you put the truck on jack-stands and tried turn all 4 wheels while truck is in neutral?

I have drained the trans fluid and there is alot of clutch material in it, especially for only having drivin around the block twice. |

Re: NP205 Issue
Time to rebuild the trans. Something wasn't releasing...hence the feeling of being chained to a boulder.
