Hello,
Just bought a 1996 XJ. It has a new Jasper 4.0 and trans with 10k on them. I don't think the last three owners had ever put it in 4x4. Well I tried to and it seems to go into part time but as soon as I give it any gas it clanks, really hard. You can feel it in the steering wheel and the floorboards. I am thinking it is the t case. I believe it is chain driven, maybe loose chain or missing teeth. I also don't know if it is a 21 or 23 tooth splin? It is so horrific that I have only gone maybe five feet in 4 wheel. It does the same thing in four low. Seems to be even more pronounced when the wheel is turned. The truck runs and drives amazingly in 2 wheel drive. The truck has 174k on it but it seems to be in really good shape, no rust at all. I am still happy with the rig but I sort of feel as though I have a beautiful super model as a girl friend that I can't sleep with..... LOL I am afraid of what it is going to cost me. I did steal the Jeep but I just dont have it right now. Picked it up for $600. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
