Yeah, mine was too...

Like I mentioned before, it can REALLY tests your patience, anger, frustration management skills. Not to mention your physical agility.

You'll get it... Just take a break, get some food for energy and go at it again...

I always use the tail of the t-case as a pivot point, move it up and down while putting pressure on the passenger side of the t case housing. Takes me just a min or two and it pops right on. Make sure you have that small o-ring still on the t-case or it will leak! It makes it easier if the driveshaft is on it too, just unbolt the rear section, that way you can twist the driveshaft a little to get splines to line up.

 

Thanks guys... there is a pic on the 1st page but everything went in....

I got the first spline on... did some breakdance move so I was facing the other way and could see from the front... then blam it popped right on. Most of my before attempts were with the driveshaft on.

 

Woot!!

Now get to bolting and enjoy that upgraded TC. I'm jealous of you...

haha... car runs now... everything is done!

It's a stock transfer case but I just had a badass shep trans built so it feels GREAT!

tcase upgrade over winter... right now the stocker is doing great with frequent fluid changes

 

Still jealous of the fact you got a good trans... Want to do mine when I get mine back?

I endured a lot of downtime while I saved up the $$$ for everything I'd have to pass right now LOL It's going to take a few days for my body to heal up after doing everything the hard way.

 

I don't see how anybody ever gets good at a clutch change/taking the tranny and tc off and evo then reinstalling them.

I've done it 4 times and it still sucks *** lol

 

i just did a clutch and flywheel and had my tcase rebuilt. hardest part for me was breaking the throwout bearing away from the pressure plate. everything else went smooth. oh and i didnt take out the subframe either. if i would of unbolted the subframe it would of been even easier
