and i am guessing you didn't pull the dipstick? what's the ATF looking like? that's where i'd start before any of the other hassles.
as to moving the tranny, yeah, you go it but it's a B. these trannies are freaking heavy as hell. rent a trans. jack. it makes this way, way easier. since this is a 4x4 you also have a TC (see below) to deal with.. it will have to be separated from one of the places.. either the tranny or the front diff.
at 130+ the tranny could also be toast especially if you don't have the external tranny cooler modification. that's how it "sounded" when mine went on the old truck.
btw. around here TC = transfer case. since we hardly talk about the torque conv. make up your own short. maybe tqc or something.. eh?
