Sorry from two wheel drive to 4 wheel drive and if you lost a clutch you would still have one set of wheels driving

Rack the vehicle and with it in gear try to turn the driveshaft. Does it turn freely? If you start the truck and put it in gear can you feel the gears in the trans moving? How about the transfer case?

With the engine running and clutch released can you put it into any gear?

Sounds like it is time to tear it apart and figure out what broke. Usually if a clutch disintegrates the pedal goes away too. Input shafts and many other things can cause the same symptoms.

Might be transfer box then have a look on a jeep forum
At least it's still usable

paddlers · 27 February 2014, 21:56

Had similar twice with Defenders, both times the linkage to the box from the diff lock lever broke hence no drive. Box stuck in a neutral gear. Easy fix both times but I've no idea if your jeep operates a similar system?

There is a disconnect between the engine and gears of the transmission. My best guess would be the input shaft or something related. You might be lucky and the clutch disk broke. Never hurts to be hopefull

Thank you everybody for your input ,

Jeff Hutcheon · 28 February 2014, 11:51

Hi Tim, did you just jump in it and find it this way or did it happen when in use, clutch,halfshaft,or g,box input shaft. Sounds like a box out jobby.

Wait until you come across a dual mass that has frozen where you can't access the bolts

Although a plasma cutter makes short work of it, a grinder can get the job done.
