It has a TC. The thing would only move under power at L prior to installing the linkage bushings. Now it is able to find all gears and engages within a second. Then it dies. Lugging of the engine. The vehicle does move in the appropriate direction when put into gear. Then it lugs and dies. So, it engages, spins the drive shaft enough to move wheels. It would probably spin wheels if it had remained on the jack stands in either direction. It spun wheels in reverse without lugging on the stands. I have noticed that the front half shaft is more exposed at the splines. Could it also need a transmission mount and motor mounts upgrade?
