What did you do today to your 3/S?

My 91 took a poop a few months ago and I just now got it back in my garage. What has failed when you're driving down the road and the car seems to "fall" out of gear? I was driving and it just came to a stop so I checked for fluids on the ground and there was nothing. Started the car and put it in first, as I let the clutch out and give it gas to go the car makes a whining sound and barely creeps forward. Also sounds like metal spinning and bouncing off another piece of metal if that makes sense. Anyway, Clutch? Pressure plate? I was told by a local that it might be my transfer case output shaft. Thoughts? Plan on starting to tear it apart tonight

There's a bunch of things it could be. You got to remove the t-case to get the trans out anyway so if there is OS damage you'll see it at that point.

I did this last night, stripes. The spoiler will be put back on tonight.

Ask Antero (BlackStealth) and he'll give you a list of supported sensors.

I did this on Sunday.

Well I got the transmission out. Nothing seems noticeably broken or off. I've included pictures to see if you guys notice anything. No play in any of the shafts. Again, my car would only whine and barely creep forward when I would let the clutch out and give it gas. Spinning metal sound along with the whine. Funny thing is it broke the first time, so I parked it and then a few months later I started it up and it ran perfectly fine for about an hour before the same thing happened. It kinda just "fell" out of gear mid drive. Any ideas? I think I'm having the trans rebuilt anyway to get rid of the second gear grind it had before hand.

Probably not the problem, but it looks like the rear main seal is leaking.

Well it turned out to be the vcu. Had the trans rebuilt, ended up needing a new second gear. 1-2 synchros. I ended up using parts off another trans and on the first drive everything was smooth. On the second drive the 2nd gear grind came back. I'm super annoyed with the car. The builder inspected the replacement parts which seemed to be in pretty good shape. I'm stumped. Any ideas? I've adjusted the clutch pedal and nothing changes

I busted my knuckles and sliced my fingers repeatedly. One end link installed, one cross member dropped. I didn't realize I would have to drop the whole bottom to do stupid LCA's. Many many more things to go.
