best launch = cracked tranfer case
best launch = cracked transfer case
hey yall, just made it down to the track for the first time with my evo, full exhaust, cams, intake work done, was ttp tuned, car was runnin terrible from the get go, best time i squeezed out was a 12.6, last run of the night, i decided to go all out, instead of launching from 4k rpms, or just letting it bounce off the fuel cut off, decide to launch from around 5k (anything lower and i was getting a mean front dig). well as the lights dropped it was probably closer to 6k it was dumped from, clutch is new, but was replaced with the oem exedy, tires are street, but decent, took off better than all my other passes, by 6k rpms or so into 1st, the tranny gave out and the engine rpms just bounced around the cut off, gettin the car to the end of the track, i noticed the mph was moving with the rpms, though the car wasnt..... looked underneath to find the transfer case was cracked, about 2inches long half and inch wide, fluid was obviously leaking, and i could see the gears inside. my question is.... hours of labor needed to repair ? some details of what has to be pulled off ? it possible it twisted the case enough to crack it? if not what else ? and cost of the replacement part. im assuming its the transfer case...case (gears maybe alright?), im not an auto mech, so if im off a bit plz cut some slack
thx for the help, and for any input
on a side note. there were 2 other evos at the track that day, a white IX that did the same thing or close, and a red VIII? that (according to him) threw off the intercooler pipeing, 2/3 rode home on flatbeds *bows his head* fuggin shame

new TC needed. (he could see his gears)
Get a new one from either, shep(give them your core) dealer(probably a million dollars) Lancershop sells them, or maybe you can look in the For sale thread for people that have used TC's..
I suggest get a used one off an 05 evo...and get it upgraded.
New clutches grab really hard...remember, better to spin than yank..the shock is what destroys the drive train.
My guesstimation if you get a great deal, plus upgrade the TC ....$2500-3500 and you'll be back on the road

oem transfer case new is 2300 on lancershop... gonna price check for a bit, see what i can dig up used,
^^ dunno why i dumped it, costly mistake i guess, was running 110 race fuel and 25psi, with the mods on the car, felt is was capable of a decent amount more than 12.6, and as to why i didnt feather it, dunno, this oem exedy i had installed doesnt like to be feathered, just jerks the car back and fourth and to be honest felt harder on it than just lettin the tires spin a bit, course a track is diff... u live you learn you upgrade or u quit

You ought to look into some motor mounts to avoid the flex that caused the crack...did the same thing in an SE-R.. They are cheap insurance and will likely avoid this issue in the future..

Yeah too bad there's not one situation in which a race from a 2nd gear roll could possibly be constituted as legal... unless of course you're on some huge property that you own.
