Greetings all -
I'm looking for a bit of guidance. Something bad is up with my truck - I'm not sure how to diagnose the problem. Stock 10/'79 FJ40.
I noted a recent abrupt loss of power across all gears. I can barely make it up a hill in 2nd. As I give it more power the engine will rev appropriately but the power doesn't appear to be making it to the drivetrain. When I first noted the problem I also noticed a burning odor. I had the bell housing cover off and the area around the clutch had the same smell, but nothing looked amiss. Not that I know what I'm looking for.
I can shift smoothly through all gears and all transfer case positions. Engine runs well with good compression and vacuum. relatively new clutch master and slave.
I'm thinking it must be something with the transfer case, but I'm not sure what steps to take to confirm this.
As an aside I noticed that I had been driving with one of the front wheel hubs locked, but it was in H2 so I don't think that's the end of the world..
Any help really appreciated.
