89 xt gl fulltime 4wd 4eat trans

 

Seems to be dragging at highway speeds also sounds like the USS Enterprise flying when you are moving I don't have a terrible case of torque bind but there is definatly some and it seems to shake kinda bad around 55mph engine is still running good tires are the same size brand age so I don't really know what could be causing this besides the trans or driveline related mpg have dropped off too. So any suggestions would be appretiated at work right now so those are all the details I can think off my head

Hey , try putting a fuse in the fuse holder under the hood on the driver's side strut tower. It should lock it into front wheel drive - drive around and see if it eliminates the problem. Process of elimination. How are the cv joints and universals?

ill try throwing in a fuse tonight but as far as cv axles go I know I have one throwing some grease but seems ok no clicking or anything

So I threw a fuse in the fwd thing and it seems worse when costing down a hill you can hear the engine acting like something is dragging then letting loose and continues till you get on the gas again of course there is zero torque bind now so I know that problem is with the clutches in the transfer case also when you are at like half throttle it jumps between gears fluid in the trans looks like its new and full. I'm really at a loss on this one

 

 

I've never had luck with auto trans.

Adjust the 2-3 band. The method is in the Haynes manual. I have run into this on both of the older 4eat's I have had.

Bring it up here. Diagnosing things over the phone is a PITA.

thank you silverhelme for the adjustment idea, cleared everything up

 

and a trip to WJM brought upon an interesting trade:grin:

Not to forget the TRB on your transmission.

 

Your parts are here, come and get them.

TRB?
