Dropped the T-case and found this, WoW

Whoever did this needs to be shot (previous owners)

I need help finding out who owned this evo before me so i can personally tell them how jacked up they are.


I'm replacing every single bolt on the suspension cradle (currently also dropped) because of mixed match parts

This was nice to find on my Tcase I PLANNED on sending out to John Shep tomorrow morning... So much for him building my core!

This was a IL and MI car and has been abused until now.





incase you dont get it.. The tcase obviously blew up and instead of replacing the housing , JB weld was used... I can see their fingerprints. I should have it dusted and traced to the idiot who did this.

Oh yeah, installed a Spoolin up COP while the car is down



HKS cams are going in next week as soon as AMS ships out my tensioner tool out to me.

Get there fingerprints off the JB weld or whatever it was they used. Looks like a few complete prints from them spreading it on. LOL

I've had the car about 3 months now. It's a michigan car.


Tcase started to whine so I ripped it out..

Will shep even touch this core or do I need a complete new one.

Unfortunately I have seen this before. It wasn't such a large patch but a JB weld mess none the less.

It almost looks like the motor blew up and a rod or piston flew out and hit the t-case.

You may look at it as the glass half empty but i see it as half full... think about all the great advertisement money you could get if you send that pic to JB Weld and they sponsor your car. It used to be for fixing stripped bolts, radiators, coolant housings, Honda's, head light mounts, exhausts, and so much more but never a transfer case... until now. =)

Heres just hoping you don't get hit with many more surprises like that.

LOL , I'll give it a try.

I guess I'm just glad I got it out before it splooged all over me again and destroyed the diff and what not.
