Reset the ECU (disconnect battery for 30 mins ) then get the ECU Codes

You may need to get the codes for the Transmission as well .. I can't remember how, but it should be on the site if you search ..

Let us know what the ECU codes come up with .. but I'd say you might have some serious GB issues .. hopefully it could just be a solenoid on the GB causing the dramas though..

When was your trans last serviced? Hope you got it from a dealership as they should sort you out. Sounds like your Dif may have let go...
