Well i have been hearing some high pitch wining coming from my car that gets louder the faster i go. so today i took my car to KevinD's house for him to look at. we went for a drive and he knew right away as to my problem. my transfer case was on its way out. we changed the fluid about 800 miles ago when i did my clutch and today when we drained it out it was black as oil. so i guess now its going to have to be rebuilt or find a used one from a junk yard. im thinking i will send it to shep and have him rebuild the transfer case along with beef up the tranny. guess i wont make it to the auto-x event this weekend

 

My tcase has been broke for months and still saving to fix it. I feel your pain!!!

 

i dont want to drive in anywhere because i dont want to do any more damage to it.

 

yea, best bet is to pull it out and send it to shep asap i think you can hurt the ring and pinion, if you were to keep driving it! what diff are you going to upgrade too?

 

haven't decided yet. probably just stage 2. maybe 3 if i can get some more money together. because i also want to send in my tranny

 

debating on the same thing, tough decision! Good luck with whatever you choose!

sorry to hear that, good luck

 

i always dread thinking about the t-cases in our cars

 

if its making noise its dead already...ring and pinion is gone...save up 2200 + rebuild...it blows I know your pain...

 

I feel your pain. Mine was more of a catastrophic failure though. Stripped the splines between the Transfer case and tranny. I had my tranny rebuilt by Sheppard and had to completely replace my transfer case because the ring gear was cracked . I put the Mitsu LSD back in and they beefed up the transfer case too. It cost $4400 total, because I had to buy a completely new transfer case. I think the tranny rebuild is about $1800. Mine was a bit more expensive because they had to rebuild my center differential too (center diff sits in your tranny while the limited slip portion sits in the transfer case). It takes a good month or so for turnaround.

 

True evo drivers blow their t cases haha. I just hope it doesnt happen again... no more launches at the track.

 

so what? mitsu doesn't sell the ring/pinion seperate? that's kinda ridiculous if they don't, that seems to be one of the main issues when one breaks.

 

whining? I have some whine coming from somewhere, but doesnt seem to get louder as I drive, just at low rpm. So that means the t-case is probably on its way out? hmmmm no more launches for me, should have had it repaired when I put the twin disc in... crap I hate taking the t case out. Can anyone confirm if some noise is normal?

 

if your ring and pinion goes bad, you'll have to buy a new t-case or a rebuilt one. there are no replacement parts. it sucks. i don't know how the evo has been around for so long and there are no after market ring and pinion gears.

 

Is your evo an 03-04? Those seem to be the years where the xfer case goes most often.
