I searched but only found talk on it, and no real link or what not to a write up on how to do it.  We got the tail end of the trans off, but dont know what to do from there.  I was expecting to find a clutch pack in the end.

If there was no clutch pack, what was there?

 

This is an automatic? was there a rear driveshaft?

yeah. the rear output shaft is there, a gear, and a cylinder and a bearing on the shaft. and yes. its an auto

If the rear output shaft stayed with the trans, just pull it off and you'll see the clutchpack, it stays with the output shaft.

dangit. we wasted a whole day cause we couldn't figure that out. I tried prying on it a little and when it didn't come right off I freaked out a little.

 

oh. and there is this little spring on a shaft at the bottom that sprung off. how does that go back on?

There are pics on the web of the AWD section, I'm not familiar with the '96. My '03 has a spring that holds back the parking pawl.
