Q: Stalling when I move rear driveshaft.
So I have a 90 cherokee that stalls when I put it in gear or manually move and jiggle my rear driveshaft. Is there anything in or on my T case that would cause this? It only happens on my rear driveshaft not my front.
My car has 190000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
