Hi Guys and Girls,
I'm new to the 4 WD Hummer community, however, I am an experienced mechanic. My friend just bought a 2006 Hummer H3 with a manual gearbox. The problem started when she was driving to work, the transmission/transfer case started making a racket. She parked it at work, but now it won't move in any gear. When you start the engine and lift off the clutch, it engages and you can feel the transmission engaging, the front drive shaft spins, but the front wheels don't move, and the rear drive shaft does doesn't move at all. When you put it in reverse, it makes a terrible racket but still doesn't move. After reading some posts, I'm thinking the transfer case may be the problem. Since there are no locking hubs, it's a given the front diff and/or CV joints are toast. Any help would be appreciated.
