I had a Chevy 4wd pickup with the trans needing overhauling. I'd never done one before, so I bought an overhaul kit and a step by step manual and went to work. Fabricated a few tools along the way.
Had it all done, installed in the pickup with the transfer case on, and found I could only rotate the tail shaft in one direction. My first thought was of a one way clutch inside the trans. I pulled the whole thing apart again, and found there was only one way that clutch would install.
I finally called a transmission instructor I knew at our local community college and described what I saw as the problem, that with the trans installed, I could only rotate the tail shaft in one direction.
He replied, "Oh, yeah. That's normal. Until it runs for a minute or two, and everything gets lubed and parts get used to each other, there's just too much weight and friction to rotate it the opposite direction".
Put everything back together, installed the trans in the pickup, and it worked like a charm. Or at least like it was supposed to.
