84 4runner w/ 5speed and dual cases.

I installed dual cases on a used/unknown transmission. Rear t-case was a junkyard find also.

The problem.........after everything was installed, the truck drove 60 feet and POW, it stopped going anywhere. Monkeyed the shifters and it climbed onto a trailer. I get to where I'm going and try to back the Runner of the trailer, and POW, same noise. No matter how I fool w/ shifters, the truck wont move.

Driveshafts wont turn at all. All shifters feel like they engage properly. I could put trans in gear, let out clutch while shifting t-cases and feel/hear gears engaging.

I yanked the driveline combo out and have split the trans from the t-cases. I also split the adapter off of the cases.
Shift rails and forks on cases look good. Coupler from adapter looks good. I havent dissasembled the rear case.
I can shift the trans into any gear and get movement from output shaft. Same w/ t-cases. Everything feels good using my hands to rotate input/output shafts.

I dont believe the clutch has shattered. I will pull the pressure plate off this week and see.



The questions...........can a transmission have a broken shaft yet still feel OK by hand? Can a complete t-case have the same issue? What should I look for?

Try contacting Marlin at Marlincrawler.com. He knows these tranny and tcases very well.
