[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 430049, member: 18789"] Not sure what you messed up but the auto can NOT be towed in neutral. You may have ruined the transmission. It is supposed to be towed in park with the transfer case in neutral. Always read the owners manual when towing an unfamiliar vehicle. Take it to a transmission shop or something to figure out what is actually messed up. The fact that the rear and front are locked up together means transfer case, but the transmission being in neutral almost guaranteed screwed that up too. edit: I see now that I read through that you have figured this all out. Sorry for the annoying redundancy, but it’s important enough that someone else hopefully benefits from this thread. Thankfully you can still find most all the parts, it just may take a bit of money to get them unless you find a few deals. Best of luck on that. Sorry to hear about the misfortune, it really can happen to anyone because a lot of people don’t consider the details when towing, and lots of old vehicles were fine being towed like that. [/QUOTE]
