From this picture, I’m going to summarize a series of failures.
1. Broke pass. Side axle but didn’t realize,
2. dropped and opened trans to find nothing wrong,
3. Friend was guiding me/could not get trans cases to click together tapped on input shaft to see if that would help.
4. Slightly mushroomed input shaft tip/got case together lol
5. Input shaft pressed on pilot bearing instead of seating inside. Replace axle.
6. I ran it because of hardship, needed car to drive.
