*urgent* Won't shift into gears, stuck in flood-prone parking lot before hurricane!
Hey everyone - so my DII was totaled a while ago but most damage was cosmetic on front, engine was okay.
I just spent a while redoing the cooling system yesterday in preparation to get her out of the parking lot behind my shop which floods ~2' in a bad storm, so we're expecting double that by tomorrow!!
After hooking everything up and putting the electrical back together up front, bleeding cooling system, etc.. (she fired right up after 5 months!) I went to shift into reverse and no RPM drop, just this "whirring" noise. I put it back into park and hear a clattering noise (not severe but it's like gears trying to engage but couldn't.)
What am I missing here?! I did have to replace the transmission and oil coolers along with radiator, but I don't THINK more than a half quart drained out of the trans cooler - it shouldn't be low on fluid, or at least enough to not even shift.
What components would cause this? It's a mechanical selector right? So it shouldn't be a computer problem? The battery was disconnected for months.
It hasn't actually been put in gear since the collision.. which wasn't enough for air bags to go off or anything - but is it still possible something damaged the trans internally?
I'm running over to my house to gram some trans fluid and attempt to refill but I can't say I'm optimistic.

T-case not in gear just like these guys said.
The noise you heard when you put it in park was the parking prawl trying to stop the moving transmission gears.
Had the t-case been in gear the brakes/rest of the driveline weight/resistance wold have stopped the trans from turning and it would have gone into park normally.

Just went under the truck to break loose the fill plug before starting it to top off trans fluid aaaaand.
My front driveshaft is missing!!!!!!
I was already pissed off enough yesterday when putting the belt system back together I noticed "my" alternator was disconnected and just sitting there. Well when I started my car to bleed the cooling system the stupid battery light stayed on, someone stole my alternator also!
I wonder what the hell else is missing. People suck.
ANYWAYS I went under and locked the transfer case so I can use my rear driveshaft. Might that solve the problem?
