new clutch, car still doesnt move
just had a new clutch put in by a shop, mechanic said he can hear or feel the gears turning in the transmission, but the car doesnt move. he says he hears a whining noise coming from the transfer case and he thinks thats what it is, but he doesnt have bmw software to complete his diagnostics.
Can the transfer case cause the car to not move at all? Usually I'm reading that people can still drive RWD with bad transfer case.
Would unplugging transfer case fuses and/or disconnecting front drive shafts change anything inside the transfer case and allow it to open up to rwd again if its completely stuck or blown like my situation?
What steps should I go through to determine my problem? I'm thinking figure out how to use INPA and monitor input and output speeds from the transmission via live data? I think we've narrowed it down to either a bad transfer case or bad transmission...
I just bought the car a few months ago and it happened within my first 1000 miles of ownership, the car was making a thud when going into gear at low speeds, and eventually it happened even louder one time and everything gave out. I had a code for transfer case oil wear, I'm unsure if it has ever been changed.
The mechanic that replaced the clutch said it came out in a few pieces... I was not beating on the car that badly, and I bought it with the problem. Was driving very normally when it gave out
