Blew my stage 2 shep transfercase tonight.
Glad to see you man up to it! This is one of the reasons why i refuse to get a twin/triple disc clutch. I like the fact that the clutch is the weakest link.
Just as the title says i manged to blow my shep transfercase tonight, the car bogged followed by a loud boom. A corner chunk of of the housing blew right off. :crap hopefully the transmission is ok since i'm leaking red and blue fluid. I will more post pics when i get a chance to get under the car. Sucks too cause my car was running like a champ.
6/29/08 UPDATE: I mangaged to get under the car right now and looks like it was my LSD that grenaded since all the damage seems to occur where the passanger side axle meets the x-case pics can be seen below and page 1 post #'s 5 and 7. As you can see in all the pics the 2 different color fluids. Does the lsd have its own seperate fluid reservoir since the bolt in the pic says oil on it.

what kinda fluids?
Just spoke with John and i sent him the pics. This was his input of what might have happened:
" That is a case failure and I have to say not very common. I can only assume the car has had some wheel hop on some launches and weakened the case but it is possible the lsd broke and and pushed the viscous out the side. The lsd may be fine though and hopefully the ring and pinion is ok as well. It is probably worth sending it in to see if it can be repaired."
I want to thank John for taking my calls and emails and immediately responding to what happened. He said he would help me out as much as possible to try and fix my current x-case, and if that is not possible, he would help me out as much as he can on a new one. So far hes been a great guy to deal with and has great customer service. I know i will be doing business with him in the future.

Update: 7-7-07 I just spoke to John and he told me that the issue was NOT A TRANSFER CASE PROBLEM/ MALFUNCTION ISSUE, BUT RATHER THE OUTPUT SHAFT WAS THE CULPRIT. Apperently what happened is that the out put shaft snapped and shoved the diff housing through the transfer case end cover. Again this happened when i tried to launch my car, and i accidentally dumped the clutch rather than slip it.
