84 4runner transmission problems

[Blueanimal]

I've been looking for a couple weeks and couple find an answer so here we go.

I recently purchased a 84 4runner, the only thing that was supposed to be wrong with it was the clutch, a broken driveshaft and the ignition cylinder was stripped.

I changed out the key cylinder and cranked it up and the clutch feels fine.
You can put the transmission in 1st and 2nd and when you release the clutch nothing happens, if you put it in reverse it sounds like the transmission is making a clanking noise without releasing the clutch and doesn't change if you release the clutch, the transmission wont go into 3rd 4th or 5th. If you shift the transfer-case into 4-hi it makes a grinding sound.

Any guesses on the problem?
Does this sound like the clutch?
Thanks for the help.

Hmm i aint had to much experiance with 4runners but if its my own personal opinion sounds more like the gearbox... my sisters old car did a gearbox and it is doing exatcly what you explain....

Sure dont sound like the clutch....my guess would be an issue in the gearbox as well.:redbrick:

Noise when you shift the transfercase definitely isn't the clutch...

That's what I was thinking but wasn't positive
