- 1995 Eddie Bauer
I had my 1995 Eddie Bauer Explorer worked on recently. She had a real bad vibration problem and a thunk when I put her in gear. We had both U-joints replaced on the main driveshaft (they were way torn up). I have previously done the upper and lower balljoints, shocks all the way around and had the transmission rebuilt (just to give you some background). As I was driving her home from the shop, after the Universal Joints had been done, I was doing 75 on the freeway and she was running beautifully. Then there was a loud THUMP! and she began a really loud racket and was smoking really bad. After I pulled over she was pouring fluid from the back of the transmission in between the transmission and the transfer case. I limped her down off the freeway and she went into gear fine (until she ran out of fluid)no hesitation, no loss of power, but there was a sound like nuts and bolts rolling around in a coffe can (very loud and you could feel quite a bit of vibration). My transfer case is a BW1354, she's a 4x4, but I don't have the front drive shaft in (another LONG story) and I have never tried to run her in 4WD. Could she have torn up the Transfer Case even if the 4WD was not engaged? Is it my transmission out again? HELP! I have been trying to get all the problems worked out with her for almost a year now, with moderate luck. I think this is the last hill to climb, but I don't know much about 4x4's. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this!
