i just baught a 92 jeep cherokee runs alright has 215xxx miles on it i paid a 100 bucks for it the tranny makes a terrible loud whining sound but for 100 bucks i ignored it now in 2 wheel drive non of the gears grab the drive shaft is still in tact but its almost like its not but it works in 4 wheel so is that the axle or my transfer case or what i dont have time to rip it apart now so im wondering what parts i should buy to maybe replace

definitely sounds like you chewed something in your rear axel up. Easy to tell, pull the rear diff cover and take a looksie

mike albo

if it is working 4wd that is your front axle doing all the work,so I would suggest pulling off your rear diff cover and see how the rear gears look

jbxj

k so if i can drive it with the front axle and shift and everything my tranny should be fine?

mike albo

yeah if you have to,take out the rear drive line that way you will know for sure.

Won't that let the lube out of the transfer case? unless there is some magical way to keep it in.

no it wont

ZachsXJ

[QUOTE=mike albo;345477]please explain

mike albo

if you look at you TC your fill plug is lower than your slip yoke,so even if you lose some it wont be very much anyways.

ZachsXJ

but what about going up a hill?

maybe i'm thinking too hard and should just shutup and listen to you

mike albo

all he has to do is put it in drive and go like 20 feet or less
