79 brat slipping outa 4WD...

Featured Replies

ok so i got my clutch replaced and i rebuilt(kinda) my tranny... but now when i do down the road in 4WD it slips out of and back into FWD...

 

John(mudrat) told me that it was an adjustment thing on the trans but he didn't tell me how to do it... instead of bothering him constantly(seriously i phoned him 3 times today...) i am turning to you helpful people of the USMB...

 

thanks!

BUMPPPPP... knowbody got ANY idea???

OK - is it possible you messed with your linkage? (no duh you did if you pulled the tranny to do the clutch) - I don't know the early 4WD trannies, so I can't tell you how/what to adjust - but look at what connects the 4WD shifter to the tranny

 

Another possibility is the fluid in it - is it spec viscosity? and how fresh is it? sediment builds up in it, and can cause severe lubrication issues - pulling the dipstick won't tell you much - mine looked fine, but my tranny was full of crap - change the oil with whatever is spec, and give it a try - the 4WD mechanism is at the rear of the case - any adjustment should be on the linkage itself - but I don't know for sure, as I am not a 1st gen-er; I feel like you at least deserve some insight though

 

Sorry I couldn't help much (if any!)
