Really bad month for the Chieff... sorry to keep asking questions but the Chief won't give me a moments rest lately.
Just got him back from the tranny shop for a new torque converter, tranny rebuild, two new rear driveshaft U joints, and new Xfer case seals. In addition to all my other problems, there's now a clicking sound coming from the xfer case near the rear output shaft. It used to have some play in the drive shaft on the rear-end side but all that has moved to the xfer case. Just started after all this work was done. Hard to believe that the output shaft bearings just decided to go bad right after the Chief returned to the shop...
Could it be that something happed when the replaced the rear seal?? Got to take it back to the shop in the a.m. so any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Hopefully the Chief will settle down after this latest problem, I've dumped about 1650 dollars into him over that last couple of weeks and I really hate to spend too much more!
BTW, my 95 YJ is just sitting around gathering dust. Is the 231 out of it swapable into the Chief if this turns out to be really bad?
Thanks!
