Mmmm ok thanks for the heads up. I'be been doing a lot of reading since I started this thread so I've familiarized myself with the AWD system so hopefully I can do this with out any issues

If there was no VC eliminator or welded center diff installed, it would feel like the clutch was slipping under any real load, i.e. rpms would rise without speed increasing.

The only noticeable side affect was the obvious lose of tractions and wheel spin lol and that was usually when the ground was wet a bit and just through 1st and 2nd.

It's never felt like a slipping clutch. I know for a fact because I had a slipping clutch before.

Now how exactly would I begin to either remove the VC eliminator and would I need to replace the center diff?

I would remove the VC eliminator or welded center diff, whatever it has, once you put the rear axles back in. If you do a little search you'll figure out how to remove the center diff, or try to find a service manual online for the trans.

Ok awesome Reza thanks. I won't be doing this for a few months so I have plenty of time read up on it

I thought the front half of your drive shaft was still there Pedro?

Wether the shaft is it there or not it makes no nevermind. From what i remember about vce's the shaft wont turn even if it was there. From what the shady mechnic did he probably just left the half prop shaft so the tcase didnt leak. You might be into some tranny work to fix whatever was done and for that I would save up some money and have Reza have a looky at it.

Yeah the front shaft is there and spins with the wheels...

Man, I hope I'm not in over my head with this lol

Ive got a couple trannys and tcases if you need anything

Awesome, thanks Kyle I'll let you know come spring time when I know exactly what I am dealing with
