front does, rear does not. have you checked the front diff for gear oil ?. if its dry ?, it won't work right.

yes..its full time 4wd , but !..it also has '' somewhat '' limited slip in the front diff. rear diff does not.

what about the shift drum ?, or the shift fork rod ?.. is the shift arm hanging on the end of shift drum ?.

just attempted to put back together for over 2 hours. still wont go down. i took all the bearings out of the case made sure they were in the right place and seated trans is seated crank and counter shaft are seated and pins are in place. still wont go down. last time i split the case i didnt have any issue putting it back together. i believe its something on trans side but as far as i see everything is seated properly

Your machine is full time 4wd.  It will steer much easier if you covert to selectable 4wd.
