Well, I put the old Waggy in low range for the first time today. I have to shift it from underneath with a 9/16" wrench as there is no shift linkage as of yet. Well, it worked good then, but after we left American Tire to go and play on WW, I felt a few slips in the transmission (or so I thought) and being that I have a slight transmission leak, figured I just needed to top off. I was low, so filled it up and it didn't get any better. It seemed to come and go, and I realized it was fine before I shifted it to AWD mode, but worked like crap afterward.
It literally came to a hault on the Rich just past Laurence. It seemed as if the tranny was in neutral, but when I put it in park, you could hear the park prawl scream. I was only able to get low range to engage after the issue, and it worked fine. After I got across the channel, I managed to get it to move in AWD again. It still was slipping occasionally, but I think that the viscous coupler is shot. Go figure.
I think AMCMike will be getting a call soon and a NP208 will get installed to alleviate this issue and to ensure I give Tony a vehicle that works.
I just hope this thing holds up until I get the time to swap the T-case and make a driveshaft which will have to wait till the 91 is done.
ARGH!!!
