Hey guys, quick question here, at least I hope.
2011 335ix, N55, autotragic. I'm in the midst of a motor swap because the old one chucked a rod. Old motor out, new motor is in, time to reconnect shit.
I went to reinstall the front main driveshaft between the transfer case and differential. I found that the transfer case outlet, and thus everything else, spins freely. Whether the trans is in park or drive or reverse, the outlet spins freely, completely independent of the trans or rear driveshaft.
Is this normal? Is it supposed to spin freely?
I feel like it isn't. Now both the transfer case and front diff lost a good amount of fluid, and I haven't refilled them yet, but I don't think that'd be a problem yet.
Thanks all!
