Transmission Replacement trouble

[rrefx]

I'm throwing a rebuilt transmission in my '96 Discovery and having a slight problem. I got the transfer case splines to line up, and slide most of the way on, but when I get down to about 3/4 of an inch to mate up the surfaces, I can't for the life of me get the transfer case to go on any more. As far as I can tell, the splines are lined up on the shaft, and there is nothing obstructing the transfer case from sliding on any more, I just can't get it on any more, and have tried several times.

Am I missing something, or is there some trick I don't know about? The transfer case slid off the old transmission so easily, and I can't figure out what the resistance is comming from. Any advice would be very appreciated.

Thanks,

Ryan

Hmmm.......incorrect shaft?

Just double check,...you should have an alignment pin, sometimes they get snug on refitment, I place a small amuont of grease,etc prior to fitment to avoid any slight bind.

I think you will find the problem is the length of the coupling shaft spline, you need one of these :

rrefx, are you using the old output shaft from your previous transmission?

No, I didn't know I needed too. I checked the numbers on the transmission, and they all match up, so I just assumed the output shafts would be the same. Do I need to switch output shafts?
