Hi everyone, I was racing today and everytime I drag, I get scared that my transfer case would break. Everytime I shift into second and dump the clutch I get this popping noise, can someone please explain the noise? And how would you know when your transfer case is gone? I did some research, but couldnt find it. I only found things about "My Transfer Case Blew" etc etc...I want to know how do you know if it blew...Thanks...

 

"woooooohhooooooooooooowwinnnnnne"

 

usually if your transfer case is going bad you will hear a high pitch noise coming from it

 

^^ or you car wont move.

 

hmm...Well in first gear I get a big whine, but not through any of the other gears...Anything else you should notice if its gone? Now im curious because I get the whine...

 

if it's not whining in every gear (and when rolling in neutral) then i don't think it's your TC.

 

^ Thank you...

 

What he said ^^^ --- Your TC would increase in volume until it sounded like a siren from a fire engine or something --- and it would do it WHENEVER the driveline is engaged.

 

I think you might just be hearing the typical evo rear dif moving on its mount. It makes kinda a thudding sound that i guess could be described as a pop

 

^ Lol, the first time it scared me. This is my first AWD, and im still learning how to launch it so yea....Thanks for comments though, I think my TC is ok...

 

yeah i get this too, this is my first awd car and whenever i shift hard the in between sound is like a loud thud from the back of my car almost like a popping sound but I feel the pull of the car. Is this normal? and what is actually happening? help pleaasee

 

^^^ that is the typical back differential moving around on the mount...

it is fine... and normal

 

If its not poppin my man, your not shifting hard enough. lol


My moto until i break something real exspensive.

 

thanks, you guys are the best

 

My tcase broke last month and i was doing about 70 on I-10 and my car pretty much just stopped itself. The car wouldnt drive, and if you still cant tell that loud whine should let you know.
