my tailgate strap broke on my pickup and i lost my 4 wheeler about 30 mph. it landed fine, but the rear end was locked up. after getting it home, the rearend popped into neutral and now only my awd works(front tires). what should i do first ?? Its going to be a learning experience !!

Its gonna be just a wild guess,BUT since the front wheels pull,that means the prop shaft back to the snorkel shaft in the transmission is operational,But I'm thinking you popped the main rear inner output shaft chain and possible damaged the output gear for the rear drive shafts ?? Especially if the machine was in park or in gear when it landed on the road! Best I can come up with off the top of my head!! Best of luck and keep us updated! OPT
