Broken drive shaft and possible transfer case 03 discovery 86k
i have a 03 discovery and the front drive shaft broke, i bought an after market one and my mechanic claims it dosent work and that the transfer case is bad is this possible? I was pulling away from a red light whe it happened. There are no cracks on the tranie and i do not see how or why the tf case would be bad. the shaft broke at the ujoint where the shaft connects to the transmission.I bought the new shaft from driveshaft power inc out of FL. when the roll back arrived to tow the rover the rear wheels were locked but after he began to pull it backwards onto the truck they broke free and the truck rolled right up. when in park the truck can still be pushed, i was told that was due to the drive shaft not being connected. Can any give me advise so i dont have to keep buying parts i may not need. Thanks so much

use the transfer case shift **** between the transmission gear shift and the dash. It is slightly to the right of center and looks just like a ****. Forward is low and back is high gear. Neutral is in between the two. There should be an instruction sticker just under the drink holders below the climate control controls. Phil

Your back wheels could only be locked because of two reasons: your tranny was in P (I know you say it was in N, but how sure are you?) or the emergency brake was engaged.
Find what has broken and that will be the clue to what really happened.
The transfer case has a N between H and L, that's just the way it works.
