tranny or something else.....

So I'm not sure what's going on with my pearl, I have never been able to break traction on pavement until a few days ago. Wet or dry but now it wants to every time its wet out. Feels like its just the front but can't really tell. Didn't want to push just in case some bad has happened. I also feel a shudder in the car when making turns from a stop. No a heavy one but can tell. I don't have any engine or trans lights on but not sure if that matters. I'm just at a loss on what it could be or where I should start checking for something wrong. Really worried about it cause its my only car. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Any one have an idea what the cause could be?

David Bruneau You could also get the drum/basket bolted up making that part near bulletproof.

Gene Ln Then I am thinking of something different, what I was thinking was the transfer clutches bolted together

Armando Licon That's exactly what happened to my Pearlie! I just got it back from a complete rebuild on the 23rd. What a difference! I'm so glad to have it AWD again!

Mine started spinning and chirping the front tires and it was fixed by replacing the Solenoid C in the tail shaft of the transmission.

That transmission ended up losing third and forth gear about 6 months later but I don't believe the two failures were related.
