AWD Binding

[Crysis]

Just got my transmission replaced with the 4.44 transmission and now my rear wheels bind when i take sharp turns. I am running a code for the rear speed sensor, but we checked its voltage and it appears to be working. Before the tranny replacement I recently lost my awd and it was just running in fwd; however, the wheels didnt bind when i turned..just didnt have the awd.

Any help?

It sounds like you are having a problem with the transfer clutch assembly or the solenoid. Do you have a blinking power light at startup? Is your cruise control working?

I would recommend approaching the shop that completed your swap, as that shoudl have been addressed prior to returning the car to you.

yes i have the blinking power light at start up...running a code 34? or 32? cant remember exactly...it was rear speed sensor code. They replaced the speed sensor to try and fix the problem and it didnt change anything.

The car is still at the shop...he is trying to figure out what the deal is. The cruise control worked before the swap..ill ask him when i talk to him to see if it works now.

How do I check to see if the transfer clutch is working properly?

Sounds Like the transfer clutch solenoid. If you can get the actual code it would help. You can see if all 4 tires are spinning when it is on the lift. They may not all spin unless some gas is given.

You did swap out the rear diff too...right?
