Background and specs: M5OD-R1 & BW1354M swap, 4.0 ohv. Ran the store and had a weird ticking that was generated by speed not engine rpms. Coming from shifter boot area.
Pulled in the drive way, had to use 4x4 due to the 6" of snow we got last night to get up the hill.Large bang, and my front wheels turn and the rear dont. Something binds in reverse. Great stuck in the driveway.
Ran the transfer case back and forth While winching it up the drive. Something gave and the rear wheels move again. Drove it the last 10 feet to its parking spot with it clunking and whirling. Still shift fine but reverse binds like crazy. If it stops snowing. I would like to get it running again.
Toss me ideas before I spend the little money I have.
I did unlock the front and check the u-joints, they look ok. The rear ones look god also. All linkage is fine etc. Clutch feels fine. All forward gears seem fine.. so I am thinking internal fork failure on the transfer case, but it's weird the front works and the back was locked up. Stumped, hope its not the transmission. Hope I can find a junkyard with replacement parts
