transfer case whine
so ive seen in several posts where people are talking about transfer case whine, and its got me wondering if this is a really noticeable whine, or something u really have to tune ur ears for. so i guess im asking what exactly should i be listening for? lol ive got 127k miles on my car, so im really trying to stock up on maintenance and replacement parts.
any input would be appreciated.

the whine is high pitch, u will definitely notice it with the windows up. the pitch gets louder as the rpm's climb. it doesnt go away, it usually starts at a certain mph, like 50 or 60mph then gradually there will be a range 40-70 mph and that will definitely be over for it.
im not sure if u can just stock up on the ring and pinion. reason i say this is that its rather expensive, but the shops that rebuild the tcase can get them cheaper. so for about the same price u pay for just the ring and pinion a shop can rebuild and put in a new one for u.

I had to replaced mine in 09. Mine sounded like faint WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO in 4- 5th gear doing 55mph-80mph. Lower gears (10mph -40mph), its as loud as your exhaust. With windows up, radio turned down, girlfriend shut the hell up you will hear it. If you pass other cars with windows down the echo will vibrate off theirs and back at your evo. You will know like others have said. My advice is to follow maintenance schedule, never neglect the drivetrain like you do the engine.
