[V8] Transmission Problem?

[Tony and Lillie]

This also sounds similar to when I had a center diff go bad. Replaced it, and that fixed the motivation problem. Then, less than two miles later the TB went :(

BTW, this was fairly simple, pulled the driveshaft, pulled the rear cover, and pulled and replaced the center diff as a unit.

I had stopped for five minute to let my wife go into a shop, when she returned, started her up (car not wife) and backed out of the parking spot,  The car drove 50 or so yards - then it lost drive with load grinding noise from underneath - definitely a mechanical problem!
