Noise while turning left

Here's the situation:
Had transmission rebuilt. Now while turning laft there is a noise comming from transmission area. Noise only happens when turning laft. I have checked the motor and transmission mounts. The front wheels were removed and diff. u-joints and axles inspected. Removed driveshaft to front and changed transfer box, still have noise. Steering gearbox was changed three years ago. HELP

transmission noise

Well, we found the noise. Turns out the transmission shop forgot to install a spring on the parking gear. When you turned left the parking lever in the tailshaft would bounce off the parking gear in the transmision tail shaft. we found this while getting ready to swap out the trans with another one. Now i just need the transmission shop step up to the plate and give me some money back.

By "transfer box" do you mean the transfer case? It was replaced? Who replaced it?

Who exactly is "we"? who found the problem and corrected it in the tail housing, was it the trans shop originally did the work?

And who suggested removing/inspecting all the other parts searching for the source of the noise, who did it covered cost of time and any expendable supplies needed doing so?

And lastly it didn't have the noise before the trans was rebuilt correct?

If they left the spring off of the park pawl, I would be worried to death about what they left out of the rest of the transmission... Dang!!!!!

noise in trans

Trans was removed originally for rebuilding and to have a shift kit installed. there was no noise when taken to repair shop. Removed transfer gearbox and trans tail housing yesterday to install new spring. Found pawl spring attached to pawl in wrong position. Installed spring correctly and reinstalled transfer and drive shafts. Took for test drive and the noise is gone.
