Shannon Flanagan Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Trying to help a friend move a 1991 Loyale wagon w/manual transmission. Acts like the driveline is being held at the transfer case (if these have one). Has been setting a couple years. When we got front wheels onto dolly, rear wheels roll about half a turn then skid. Why won't it roll...even in neutral? Engine turns over, but doesn't run. Other problem is it eats timing belts...but later for that. Thanks in advance for any help.

el_freddo Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Make sure it’s in 2wd - push the 4wd lever backwards and down. It might help having a rear wheel jacked off the ground to ensure there’s no bind in the system that will hold it in 4wd. Other issue could be a dead wheel bearing.

Numbchux Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Towing with 2 wheels down will cause transmission damage, even if you get it out of 4WD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have to get under it and manually manipulate the lever on the side of the gearbox. From memory the cable end of the lever needs to be as far back as possible - but I could be wrong as it’s years since I looked at how these work. Jack up a wheel to do this to make it easier/possible. I don’t share the same sentiments as Numbchux about towing on the rear wheels in 2wd.

Disconnect the control cable from the vacuum actuator from the control rod on the back of the transmission, then manually shift it into 2WD by operating that control rod all the way aft. if its still binding after that just pull the rear CV axles out, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
