Unmatched splines or what?

zebracrawler · October 24, 2011, 08:44:24 PM

don't know yet i have to pull the cases out

zebracrawler · October 24, 2011, 08:49:41 PM

im getting a wine sound from the transmission pulled the block off plate off my crawl box and no gears were moving when i put it in any gear but when you change gear the wine sound changes so i know my gears are spinning in the transmission. so ether there is something broken in the transmission or its the input.

Zs Confederate Toy · October 24, 2011, 09:35:56 PM

Well that doesnt sound fun at all. Especially after just putting it up in there

zebracrawler · October 24, 2011, 09:40:38 PM

yeah drove it like 200 feet then broke i was kinda mad about that but it did drive

Zs Confederate Toy · October 24, 2011, 09:57:30 PM

At least it drove. You know it worked, even if it was only for a minute lol

Oh I do all too well haha

zebracrawler · October 25, 2011, 01:35:02 PM

yeah i just want to know why it broke and if it will do it again if i fix it

Zs Confederate Toy · October 25, 2011, 01:50:16 PM

I would think its bound up somewhere

zebracrawler · October 25, 2011, 02:09:31 PM

yeah i think so too

91 ex-cab · October 25, 2011, 02:18:58 PM

If its input its either bound or we stressed it when we put it in. It felt like it spun just fine though, so I'm thinking tranny is still a possibility. Only one way to find out

zebracrawler · October 25, 2011, 03:26:41 PM

yeah im hoping its the output

89sastoyo · October 25, 2011, 05:53:55 PM

so i kinda read but not completly im a little intoxicated, but if your tranny makes noises through the gears but your t case is not spinning than you broke an input. This is what i do when i break my t cases. immediatly yard on the rear d-line because it will move a lot if its an output or fall and hit you in the face. If the driveline is not lose or has a lot of play it could still be the output so i pull my front and rear case shifters off plate n all and then go through the gears usually like how mine are right now the front case will spin and the rear wont so right now i either broke yet another 4.7 input or i finally took out the dual case collar that adapts the front to the rear because a few buddies have been breaking those. with that said if you havent pulled the shifters and looked which i believe i read previously than i would. and if nothing is spinning you deff broke an input or forgot a c' clip and now have a gear wehre its not supposed to be so nothing engages. boom the end ya

zebracrawler · October 25, 2011, 06:24:56 PM

yep i got a forward shift t case so i pulled my block off plate on top of my crawl box and looked down it wile the truck was running and ran it through all the gears and nothing was spinning so i'm pretty sure i broke an input. my drive line didnt fall on my face because i checked that after i pulled it back up the hill and it was good.

89sastoyo · October 25, 2011, 06:42:54 PM

yeah deff an input if you have a single case or somehting is bound did you make sure your shifter is in gear while the shifter was out that could happen as well

91 ex-cab · October 25, 2011, 07:17:57 PM

Input was the first thing I said when it happened. But the fact that it hooked up and moved for a second after it broke makes me wonder.

zebracrawler · October 25, 2011, 08:36:55 PM

yeah but i t wasn't like it really hooked up it just grinded in gear for a sec there could have been a bur on the broken spot or something or it was on that hill and just made me think it went in to gear

zebracrawler · October 27, 2011, 08:51:09 PM

well i'm starting to build a square shaft and a sweet bracket to pull my dual cases without lifting them above my head

zebracrawler · October 27, 2011, 08:55:21 PM

used a lath to cut off the joints worked very good i cut out some frame plates for the truck on the cnc plasma because they do not have a plate for a 2wd frame designed them in cad turn out good will put some of the finish product soon you can see one in the bottom of the picture
