Well the ol' transfer case finally bit the dust. After a year of moaning and groaning lol. Did it in reverse backing up out of the driveway too. Violent shaking follow by a popping/grinding sound. It still drives though! Just FWD though.

Well I still have a warranty on it but they probably won't honor it. At first when it started acting up I thought it was the clutch so I had it replaced with an Exedy stage II and a lightweight flywheel. So unless I put the stock clutch back in it they are more than likely gonna fight me on it. Hell it might be worth a shot...
