While driving my 97 wrangler all gears went out. Looks like fluid on the underside of the driveshaft. Thoughts?

2003 ford expedition leaking some type of fluid from what looks to be the differential and the while driving the floor vibrates as if somethings grinding together in the front.

Can be vibrating from loss of differential fluid. You have moving parts in the front, more so with 4x4 units, that need lubrication.

The driveshaft can also transmit vibrations.

You need to have a hands-on inspection of the underside of your vehicle.

I have a 1997 manual transmission jeep wrangler and i need to know why i have a vibration in 1st.gear and reverse

vibrations in first, or rev gear, and lessons as speed increases, check all ujionts on front and rear driveshafts, even front axle shaft ujionts, rear driveshaft is at max angle on these units, a bad ujiont will give clink sound, or sreech sound, make sure shafts are not bent. I assume there is no vibs in nuetral, engine running, also check all mounts. GOOD LUCK. RDJRP.

My jeep wont move in any gear

If your transmission is low on fluid it won't move the vehicle. Sounds like you had just enough fluid to get first gear going.

2001 Jeep Wrangler 5spd.... 2wd is out!

Either you have broken something inside the transfer case but equally likely is that you blew up the spider gears in the rear differential. I'd remove the cover and take a look. If they're broken, it won't be difficult to see.(smaller gears inside the center section) And, they are replacable
Hope that's all it is!
Good Luck!!!

2004 Jeep Wrangler - Clunking Noise when shifting out of Park

It could be lash in the differential which is normal, but it could also be a loose u-joint in the driveshaft. Check the rear driveshaft u-joints.

When you start to drive my 1994 jeep wrangler everyday...right at first maybe a half of a block it makes a loud noise like I have hit something. almost like the bottom is falling out. Could this be a...

It only does this first thing in the AM, and on cold start on 'way back home? What about weekends. If you drive multiple places does it ever do it then? Does it happen in one particular gear? If it does, what happens if you skip that gear (shift 1st to 3rd for example)? What do engine &trans mounts look like?
If the temps in your area are very cold, you may try changing trans lube. I believe they use atf, not gear oil in your vehicle. Also, check the slip joint on your front driveshaft (check "u" joints as well...all of them)
Sounds a lot like something is binding then freeing itself up till it sits for a while!

4wd problem jeep wrangler yj 1995

i just bought a used 97 CHEROKEE but i had the same problem, when i got to looking at it i found out the front driveshaft was shot, look at that, if its not it i would say its probably the transfer case especially with an older vehicle like that which is a very expenxive repair

91 wrangler 4 wheel will not engage

Check your fluid levels, you need to verify that the transfer case has fluid in it. Also, on one of my old jeeps the lever that put it into 4 wheel drive just stuck a litle. After yanking the **** out of it and moving it back and forth, drive a litle then stop and do it all over again.. a few times. it went into 4 wheel drive. this is why you are suposed to engage your 4 wheel drive once a month and drive around the block, just to make sure it gets flid where its supose to. if it doesn't get engaged then the fluid just sits at the bottum of the transfer case and doesn't get up on the gears.
