1997 80- Real Time Help Front Seal and wont engage gears (1 Viewer)

[kayaked56]

I have followed Zane Front shaft seal and Oil Pump seal.

Will not engage gears. No D, R, 2????

100% of the job went very well. Replaced all seals, new belts, flushed Radiator. Engine starts, runs 100% perfect.

NO GEARS. What gives.

Did I put the Main Pulley on in error?

In real need of help.

I am not sure I am following you entirely. There should be no correlation between the front crank and you transmission. The only thing that comes to mind is that you possibly disengaged the shift linkage some how. Maybe a problem with the socket on the bolt in the inspection window? Did you remove the socket (assuming you used on to loosen or tighten the front crank pulley) before staring the truck?
I just replaced my front crank seal and oil pump seal about a 3 weeks ago, and can not think of anything I could have done to effect the the transmission or transfer case....

You saying your shifter is locked and you can't physically move the shifter through any of the gear selections?

He probably had the t-case in neutral and is feeling about it now.

Or has a stripped front drive flange?

Or has a stripped front drive flange?

Wouldn't the rears turn, or try to, even with the fronts disconnected?

Not guaranteed unless the CDL is locked, like when in low range. John
