I recently replaced my clutch in my 96 with an AX-15 transmission. I went to go off road and as soon as I put it in 4 HI and down shifted it started making a whining noise. It feels like I don't have a clutch but there was. It wanted to go into gear but the clutch wasn't fully engaging.

I replaced the throwout bearing, clutch disc, pressure plate, everything except the slave cylinder which I replaced a couple months ago.

Has this happened to anyone else or anyone have an idea as to what I can be with??

 

sounds like transfer case shifter out adjustment.

 

So the transfer case isn't letting the clutch be pressed in?

 

The transfer case isn't the problem. The clutch sounds like there's metal on metal grinding/whining. There is about no pressure when I push the clutch down half way then there's a lot of resistance. It still shifts fine and goes into 2hi 4hi and 4low but at a dead stop will not go into gear. I'm just not sure where to start because I don't want to take the tranny out again if I don't have to.

 

So everything was fine until you shifted into 4x4?

 

Which way did you put the tall part of clutch in ?

 

Yea everything was fine till I put it in 4hi. I put the clutch in the same way it came out

 

Ok shifting the transfercase has no effect on the clutch . Maybe linkage got moved/bent during install.Have you tried readjusting it yet ?

 

The transfer case linkage?

 

Okay so now its stuck in reverse guys

 

Nothing external leaking it looks like its internal
