Reference your message in another thread. I do not hide behind an alias and am pleased to provide my phone number and address. Trevor R. Sheffield, 16A Seaside Avenue, Waterview, Auckland, 1007, New Zealand. (nz) 09-8208553

However please hold off phoning until I have had time to mull over your dilemma and I will come back here, or by PM. Meantime my thought is that the valve could have something preventing full travel, e.g. on the seat, but could still be moving enough to be audible. What do you think ?

its a good possibility that is the case but it still boggles my mind. The battery in the car is dead right now because I don't have the time or spare cash to throw at this car right now. I will get a jump pack tomorrow and jump it again and see if it is possibly fixed. I was fiddling around with the harness before I did the test so maybe I cleared up a bad connection i don't know

Tom

Edit: Damn, you are in New Zealand, sorry man but those charges would kill my phone bill, thanks though

Well, thanks to SVXfiles, I have installed a whole new tailshaft. The FWD lights comes on now. I have yet to take it down off the jackstands but it is family time now. I will take it for a spin tomorrow or later on tonight when I take it down

It's ALIVE!!!! The new tailshaft has fixed all ailments. My guess is that there was an abstruction of the transfer valve in the old housing which would not allow it to actually cut the line pressure. I know the Sol. C was working but the transfer valve was not. So all in all it was a good day Now I need to go get it registered and try to get it passed by the inspection o Joisey. Anyway, thank you all who helped, this car is now running well and I am very grateful since I amy decide to blow up my silver one soon

I'm with Thawa, the 4EAT doesn't have a "Center Diff" just a clutch pack that feeds power to the rear diff, directly split off the main shaft.

If you let this go, eventually you'll shear all the teeth from your center diff and you'll have a car that won't move.
I liked this one better Huck, we have a center diff with teeth, and a AWD fuse.

Courtesy applauded. All usually learn from their mstakes. However it is confirmed that there are the odd ones out.
