a while back i had bought a 1985 chevy s-10 blazer with a 2.8L in it i belive. it had an auto trany that was torn apart and in pieces in the cab. after buying a rebuild kit, and relizing i had bitten off more then i could chew[and that not all of the parts where with the transmision] i scrounged up 200 dollars and sent it off to a guy that dose transmision repairs for a living, and he hooked me up with all the missing parts for free and handed him the rebuild kit. he ordered what was needed, and just asked i payed him the 200 for labor. gave us a NEWISH torce conveter and filled everything with oil. and we went and picked it up. brought it home, and tossed it back in the blazer hooked the transer case up, then drive lines. and every thing else required.
well, since we had it up on stands. we desided to make sure everything worked properly while in air[not the smartest idea but to lazy to let it down to test it.] so the rear wheels spin in drive reverse, freely in nutral, and in low and mid range gears. we desided, lets check the t-case. and shift it 2 four high, rear wheels spin but not front. tried reverse, nuthing but rear wheels. and go threw all the gears like this... with no different results. tried in 4 low also with the same results.
then we said screew it. my friend needed a ride home, so we jump in it. and we are about half way between my house and his house. a good 25-35 miles away. and loose all power to the rear wheels. so put the breaks on, and put it in park, and putting it in park holds it in place, and we open up the hood and crawl around under neath, and its draining oil from the front of the tranny.
after these problems, i returned it to the original owner, with a rebuilt trany and a new back window. just told him to take it back and not to expect the rest of the payments i owed on it.
now that im looking for a new vehical, the guy still has the s-10. and hasnt done anything to it. im sure he would sell it back for cheaper, and throw in a second s-10 for a bit more[ the second s-10 is missing passenger window and has carb problems]
so my questions where. what would cause the transfer case to not work in 4wd but work in 2wd. or was in the front gears?
and the tranny dumpin the oil like that is probably just a seal right?
