Hoped to be celebrating the last long weekend before Christmas by restoring my only running XJ to 4WD - instead it's stuck forlornly out by the kerbside with the trans supported by a jack - & no drive. No amount of pushing & jiggling will get the TC the last inch to mate up with the trans, although the splines are engaged & all the studs have entered their holes. It's as if the '97 output shaft on the trans is an inch too long - surely not! I did this job last year, when I swapped in the TC from my parts '96, & I do remember it getting to about this point - then, suddenly it went home. Am I just 18 months older & weaker, is it that slightly bent stud offering too much resistance, have I missed something or was I really attempting the impossible?
