Ive got a 1991 Cherokee 4.0L, 5 speed manual, not sure what transfer case it has but the jeep is the base model.
Im a teenager and this was the First manual I've ever owned so of course I burned rubber around town. The problem is I popped the clutch at high RPM trying to take off fast one too many times and damaged something in my drivetrain and I do not know what.
Whenever I use an extraneous amount of horsepower (whether it be accelerating quickly or going up an incline with a lot of weight in the jeep) I hear a popping sound coming from the drive train.
It does not make this sound when I go up low inclines or take it easy on take-offs. I can drive it around town nice and easy and not have any problems with it.
I was in 2 wheel drive when I popped the clutch to damage it.
The sound is made when I am in 2 wheel drive, 4 low and 4 high.
At first I thought I broke a tooth on a gear, but realized there are a lot more weaker things in the drive train that would fail under stress before a tooth of a gear would.
I have been informed that this may be a transfer case chain being stretched.
Do you have any ways to troubleshoot my problem and pin down exactly what has happened?
Thanks,
