A. G. Olphart Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 You might try putting the tranny in park (without the engine running) and making sure that the input flange on the differential can't be turned. Then you can either block one wheel or have a friend hold it and turn the other wheel. A visual inspection of what turns and what doesn't should show the location of any broken bits in the half shafts or center section. If you have a really stiff positraction you might have to turn each side separately due to the locked input flange. U-joints are the most likely culprits in back. A look at the direction of rotation of the driveshaft while the car idles in drive and then in reverse should give you an idea if the tranny is doing anything at all. (Use a mirror if necessary- crawling under a running vehicle may shorten your lifespan). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
