Our installation shown here was performed
on a '71 Ford Bronco featuring a NP435 four-
speed manual transmission. You should read all
installation and service instructions supplied by
Advance Adapters before beginning installation.
7 After the Torque Splitter was secured
to a transmission jack, it was bolted
into place on the bellhousing.
9 Because the Torque Splitter is mounted between
the bellhousing and the transmission, the
transmission is moved rearward 7-1/2 -inches upon
reinstallation. Consequently, the rear powertrain
crossmember supporting the transmission must move
back the same distance. In this case, the stock
crossmember brackets were welded to the frame at
the new location, still allowing removal of the
transmission for service by simply removing the bolts
that go through the crossmember.
10 With the Torque Splitter, transmission and
transfer case all in place, three shift levers
protrude from the hole in the floor. The levers can
be shortened to suit the driver, and after measuring
the distance of full throw, forward and rearward, of
the three levers, a sheetmetal transmission tunnel
plate can be manufactured by a custom fabrication
shop.
8 After fastening the
transmission and
transfer case to a
transmission jack and
securing the mass with a
chain. The transmission
is bolted to the Torque
Spliter.
