I just spent 3.5 hours sitting with the brookeline police (scariest thing in my life) after sir jeep decided it was going to die. I get nothing in any gear forward or reverse, and nothing in any tcase gear. I'm going to check my tranny fluid level tomorrow. I'm wondering if i rounded the end of the crank shaft or something.

Try puttin it in gear and then look underneath to see whats not turning.....don't get under just incase. Had your prob on a 78 and she turned everything including rear yoke..... had a broken keyway on the end of axleshaft....everthing was turning except the tire! they have solid axleshafts now, don't they?

Its an auto, I think I smashed the torq converter, thats my best guess. I bet thats what used to sound like a blown engine mount, and made banging noises, I'm thinking maybe it became unbolted from the engine somehow. I'm going to try to towstrap it to somewhere i can work on it tonight and pull the tranny.

Dont pull the trans yet. Take off the cover and see if the flexplate bolts are still there first

Sounds like a torque converter if a auto, did it used to make a slight humming sound when driving that mimmicked the RPM's then perhaps a nice slapping sound and then nothing...but when in park no sound?
I would first pull down the tranny pan and look inside! if there are metal shavings in there, tranny won't get you much farther. Probably shreaded the torque converter which then sends debris into the tranny and jamms the valves into a certain position, if it jammed the tranny into perhaps inbetween 2&3, no move.
I have some pics I will look for and post what a bad tranny would look like in the pan. If it is not that bad, replace the converter, flush tranny, new filter and ATF, should get another couple thousand out of it.

Thanks for the info, I will look into it more once i get my jeep somewhere i can get under it. Living in the city sucks.
Oh and it used to make a sound which was like a blown motor mount. I assume that was the torq converter or tranny (it no longer makes that noise).

It looks like the torque converter bolts somehow fell out. When we pulled the cover off to take them out all 4 bolts were in the bottom of the bell housing along with some nice metal shavings. Flywheel looks a little beat up but still useable. Going to finish pulling the tranny and see what else is busted tomorrow.

Got the tranny pulled out, there is no damage whatsoever to it, Just some small chips in the flywheel. Going to get new bolts and bolt it all back up. Looks like all that went wrong was the bolts fell out. It looks like the tranny had been pulled before I owned it, they must not have tightened them properly.
