fixed the tcase the shifter had some build up on it cleaned it good shifts fine now but if the birfield joint was busted it would be noticeabl when i pulled it correct or no

[79coyotefrg]

yes  you would see at the least a big crack  in the bell

sounds like the locker itself might have busted

Did you inspect the quick-lock? If it lost that much material you will be able to tell just by looking at it. I would also inspect the pinion and carrier bearings. If theres that much material in the bottom of the housing I would be skeptical about reusing the bearings. As for it being installed wrong, it is possible, but not likely, they are a very simple item to install.
