Have you installed and set it correctly as per the instructions? Do you have a proper radio with EPA and 3 position 3rd channel?

The shift fork is designed to only work one way when installed...make sure its right.

RIg looks good but the pics dont help at all to solve your issue. My next best guess is this...your ridg servo isnt set right and the dig isnt engaging properly...the dig lock ring has to engage the main gear and the rear output gear evenly to keep the gears from slipping so Id say its either stopping too far on the main gear or the rear output gear and that allows it to slip...in order for the dig function to work to dig lock ring has to evenly engage the rear output gear and the molded lock inside the end of the dig housing this locks the rear axle while the front can turn...for front dig freewheel the dig lock ring has to center on the rear output gear only.

Check the trim and EPA settings on your radio for hte 3rd channel....adjust the servo settings and maybe adjust the servo itself until the dig works properly.
