And its still making a clunking when going into reverse. I did notice the trans is way over filled. Not sure if this would cause the issue of clunking alomost everytime and sometimes grinding when shifting. Anyone? Thank you

Best advise is to get all four corners off the ground supported by stands. Slide underneath and start grabbing/shaking everything in the driveline. Try prying up on the trans at the mount as well, if the rubber seperates from the metal it's trashed. Over filled with lube is never a good idea.

Yea I know its never good to be over filled. I just gotts get it to the shop were i can put it on a rack. I'm just hoping its not the t-case or trans. But I do have extra one of each. I can feel it coming from the rear of the jeep so i know it somewhere in that area.
