4 wheel drive problem


Recommended Posts

I swapped a 5 speed from a 87 GL in place of a 4eat into my 90 loyale. I am having problems with the 4 wheel drive and it is being caused by the rear dif. I have not driven it more than a few feet as to not damage anything. When I swapped out the auto could that have changed the gear ratios in the front but not the back? How do I tell the gear ratios of the rear dif and the 5 speed tranny, is there a place that will tell me. Also it could be that the dif is shot because I know that it leaks fluid, but it did seem to work fine with the auto about 4 months ago. Starting early on this problem before winter arrives. Thank you for your time.

OKay good to know. The GL 5 speed was non turbo. I figured as much because Just moving about 4 feet I could feel a lot of pressure building. whats the difficulty of a ring and pinion swap. 1-10, and whats the price I am looking at.
