I just got done putting in the tranny/ tcase this afternoon and i went to start the car. Everything was attached other than the driveshafts to verify movement.
I started the jeep and amazingly it started, i then proceeded to shift the tranny in the other gears (R, N, etc) and everything worked. I then proceeded to shift it back into Park and i heard this loud metallic grinding noise. After repeating this and having the same result- i came to the conclusion this was because the absense of the rear driveshaft that caused it to be spinning when the tranny was being put into park. I then proceeded to put in the rear driveshaft (front not installed still) and figured everything was well.
I started the jeep shifted into the othr gears and this time additionally shift the tcase which also decides to produce this metallic grinding noise after which the rear output decides to quit spinning.At this time i put the tranny into park and the same noise was heard. At this time i am starting to worry and hope nothing is severly damaged.
I turn off the jeep and try to shift tthe tcase into other gears by manually shifting the lingage and it wont busge in any direction...whats the deal ????
Please help...Sorry for the long post
