If the speedo goes up then you're getting drive as far as the differential output - are you sure the driveshafts are in all the way into the differential (if they come partly out it'll leak oil from the diff seals as you're getting)?

Jack one wheel off the ground and stick it in gear. See if the wheel and shaft moves...

Do the same on the other side.

my guess is something terminal in the gearbox... but first go check the shafts are fully in.

 

then check your gear linkages just to make sure nothing is out of place and you are actually in neutral... if your getting drive in neutral i`d say something is pretty fecked..

 

maybe the oil leaked out of the gearbox dut to crappy seals and now the g box is stuffed?

those seals were brand new piers so unless you split one fitting then leaking will be another issue..

 

driveshafts ok??? its not decided to chew the splines off them has it???
