T-case problems. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> This Amigo is being stubborn.


Rear output was locked up tight,couldn't turn it to line up splines in clutch.

When shifted into 2wd the front output turns free,the rear is locked up.

4wd hi front/rear are locked solid.

4lo front and rear turn smoothly like normal.

Pulled the rear case off last night.

No metal or such inside.

Moved shifter,2wd fork moves up and down smoothly,engageing and disengaging front output.

Problem is that the fork for hi/lo will not move down enough to disengage the low gear,so it has both engaged.

The fork needs to move down about 3/16" to fully ebgage.
There is that much space under the "dog" on the shiftrail
for the rail to move.
That clearance and the fact that fork moves with the rail,I don't think rollpin is broken on the rail.

I removed the ball/spring for endant? To make sure ball didn't break and wedge under the rail,not letting it move down more.The rail needs to move down 3/16" to allow ball to engage.

I didn't see anything broken or chipped,all bearings/pcs. move smooth.

I raised the shift fork(hi/lo) up as far as I could,and all pcs look good,are smooth and the synchro pcs are all lined up.

So what's next?


By down I mean forward,the case is resting on the bell housing,The tranny moves and feels smooth in all gears.
Different gears and neutral do not effect the tcase.

SOrry so long,thanks.
