Okay. So sadly my trucks about done. I think the front diff is going out and there’s just so many other problems I can’t. I thought the wheel bearing was going out but the other day I was driving forwards and it made a god awful sound and got jerky so I shut it off. After being stranded without service for a few hours I decided I was going to try and drive it back. I got stuck in a little bit of snow, got pulled out and was on some ice/slush/snow and I had NO traction. Didn’t matter if the diff was locked or not or in H or L gear it wasn’t moving. I put some cat litter and my floor Matt’s down in front and back of my tyres and was able to drive in R a couple miles before finding another road to turn around on. Tried to put it in drive and you could feel it want to go but it wouldn’t. It would make a clunk sound and go forwards a tiny bit and then get all jerky and choppy. If it put it in 1,2,3 it was fine for the most part. I drove back to town using 1,2,3 but didn’t go above 35mph. There’s been kinda a wobble lately I thought it was the wheel bearing. I’m not able to drive it forwards at this point, I probably could but haven’t tried yet. I’m getting my taxes back in a few weeks and I’m planning on buying another rover but if I can get this one to last till then would be awesome. Someone said it’s the front diffs going out. If I disconnect the front propshaft/driveshaft and lock the diff could I drive it as a 2 wheel drive vehicle? Thanks.

I've been off line for a few years. Now retired and got another Rover project. This is an old post without an answer and you probably already know. If you can go in reverse but not forward, that's a transmission not a differential problem.
