T-case bad and acting like slipping clutch?

[robert]

I installed a new transmission and clutch but now it acts like its got a slipping clutch. On acceleration in lower gears and any boost in higher gears it slips badly and makes a chunky sound. It will also make a grinding sound (like the sound of a bad syncro) when I accelerate in 1st or second gear. Double checked the flywheel and pressure plate assembly and all is good there (flywheel was also resurfaced to a step of .610). The transmission goes in and out of gear great (it should since it's a brand new rebuild) and the clutch grabs off the floor about 2"; a little low but not enough for it to drag and certainly not for it to slip. It would seem to me that if the transfer case went bad that the car would still have front wheel drive though I understand the viscous may be creating an imbalance in power distribution and may act like a slipping clutch?

Nevertheless, I would like to try a good transfer case (92 awd) if somebody has one that could lend me and then perhaps sell before I dismount the transmission and send it back to be checked.

Thanks,
Robert

The passenger side axle is not fully seated possibly?

Yea mine did this until Hal, after driving out to the boonies, found it.

No, that is is there good.

Now, while I was just checking that I freewheeled the front tires while in neutral and there is a bad engagement/disengagement sound coming from the transfer case when I rotate the wheel back and forth. When the car is in gear though the front wheels will not freewheel. I hope it's just the t-case. Do you suppose it may have created any problems with the transmission or viscous?

If this is the same tranny that steve had with the limited slip in it that thing would make all kinds of nasty noises.

It sounds like either the input shaft splines are stripped (we have one like that) out or the gears have broken teeth.

[robert]

It is an awd. I am pretty certain its the t-case now as it ratchets when I spin the passenger side wheel backwards really quick.

last question.....

will the transfer case from an early 2g fit on the 92?
