Ok guys, so I drive a 97 TJ 4.0 5speed, transmission went out few weeks back, bought a brand new NOVAK 5 speed tansmission, new luk clutch and all components, had a shop install everything , had them crack the transfer case and inspect, told it was good, re sealed, put new ATF dextron 4 fluid in it, went to pick it up shifts and drives great in 2 wheel drive. Put it in 4 low and and 4high engages fine pulls normal in both but now has very loud whining noise from the tranfercase , especially decel. Anybody have any suggestions????
 
Is there a lot of tension on your skidplate? Try and loosen the trans mount at the skid and all 6 skid bolts. Give the transfer a real good wiggle then tighten the 6 skid bolts, then 4 mount nuts. This may (may) help.
