To add to the drivetrain problem i'm having, I need to know a little info about how the transmission and front transfer case works together to go from 4wd full time in first, and then automatically switches to 2wd in all other gears?? I think this may be the reason of why we aren't getting any forward motion from the front wheels.
Also, what is the longevity of the clutches....and is there any adjustment?? Keep in mind, I don't have a rear axle installed, so when the trans is in 1st, and you let out on the clutch pedal all the way, the driveshaft (which i can see through the floorboard) going to the rear wheels spins fine, like it should on a non-posi diff, BUT it starts from a creep, and then picks up speed...unlike in a normal manual trans setup where if the clutch was popped, the driveshaft would instantly start spinning at engine speed. This tells me there is either a clutch issue, or a major adjustment issue with that part of the driveline. Since it would start rotating at such a snails pace, i held the driveshaft with my hand through the flooboard, and was able to actually stop it from turning!!!
Going to get under it tomarrow, and see if i can see any problems with the linkage, but as of now....not positive what is happening. Any experience with the 4wd switchover would also be appreciated.
