I dont know if the carrier bearing should cause thatā€¦ unless itā€™s seizing upā€¦ which I wouldnt be surprised. Does reverse still work? When it stops is the engine able to rev while in gear? Is it hard to get in and out of gear? Is the clutch engagement very low on the floor? How are the brakes? Are they hot after driving? A noticeble amount of brake dust? whens the last time he checked the calipers? This could really be a whole array of thingsā€¦ need to start doing some diagnostic and ruling this stuff outā€¦ start with the easy things. Check the transfer case too, sounds like a clutch problem to me. The clutch might not be disengaging all the way, which might have caused the clutch to burn up, hence the lots of gas to get it to moveā€¦ This would also explain the clunk into gear. This could point to a faulty throwout bearing. Which happened to be the last thing I replaced on my DSM before I said Fuck this, and bought a new car.
