Dana 20? Hard shift with twin stick

[1crazypony]

Hi I hope all is well


Thanks for taking the time to look at the post
I have installed a twin stick on my dana 20 zf trans combo.
It's a JB fab twin stick and JB fab has been great to work with
Having problems shifting into 4 high all other gears are smooth and work nicely.
4 high is very stiff it will go in with some effort.
Is this a normal issue?

if its on the bench it should go in & out pretty easily.

if mounted in the vehicle pushing and pulling the sticks and bumping the vehicle in normal for me, sometimes I need to turn off the motor.

Oh just drive it and stop and then it might go in to 4 WH but not low.

Its much easier to make it go in to gear with a manual transmission you can feather the clutch or bump it around and it you get the case in nuetral you dont have to worry aabout the trnsmission out put spinning.

Like he said I sometimes have to shut off the engine and sometimes put the transmission in nuetral. Never had issues with the NP435. Little clutch work and it was done.
