evo can shift through all the gears fine..car idles fine.
put it in neutral and try to push the car.. it doesnt move. feels like when i put it in 1st gear.

try to move the car forward or in reverse the car will stall due to something holding the evo back.. not allowing it to move.

i have an exedy tripple disk, i press in the clutch i hear chatter of the disk, i release it it goes away. TOB seems to disengauge fine..

what do u guys think is the problem?

 

Could be:

1) Busted Front differential (car should still push through it, but it will make horrendous crunching sounds)

2) Locked transfer case (probably it ) ring gear, pinion gear, etc. (the car will bounce back from clutch application like there is a "lock pin" in the gear--kind of like trying to push an automatic car in "park")

3) Maybe bad rear diff (never had this issue myself though)

4) Stuck e-brake (less likely)

 

Simple stuff first, take a look at all the brakes and make sure none are locked clamping.

 

its not the brakes.. its in the drive train somewhere.. it really sounds like #1 or #2 because its comming from the front side of the car..

 

what led up to this? did it happen after some work on the car, bad launch, anything?

 

Have access to a lift where you could get under it and try spinning the wheels by hand and listen for noises?

 

What if shifting between gears not so smooth? I had transmission upgraded by shep racing, put a short throw in and now it's not a smooth transition. I heard a washer for the speed sensor could solve the issue??

 

ended up being the transfer case. thanks guys.
