RE: slippin
Is the clutchbell spinning or not. If so then is the spur spinning? If the spur is spinning the it is in one of the diffs. If the CB isn't spinning then you need new clutch shoes.

RE: slippin
ok its in my transfer case,took it apart and found 1 shim missing. and the gears look a little rounded.probably have to get new ones. the car is only a month old. almost a gallon thru it. does this seem odd...... thanks
