...this must be your first evo, im guessing?

You are gonna hear cracks, tweaks, squeaks, popping, whining, yelling, and hollering. Its the life of an Evo owner.

Welcome to the club, by the way.

Evo's are know for tranny problems, however its possible it could be a wheel bearing. If its a 05 it should be still covered under the factory warranty..bring it in and see what they say.

it cant be a normal sound its way too loud and this morning im guessing the transfer case gave up. I was driving and stopped at a red light and when i took off i started to feel a grating noising and vibration way to loud and hard to be normal. Right now its in the transmission shop but has anyone else had this problem

Sounds like your transfer case is gone. Sorry that happened to you on your new (used) Evo. Did you not test drive it? Search for "death whine" on this site and you will find a video clip of the sound. See if that's what yours sounded like, and boom.

Does it make this sound when you have the car in gear, but not on the gas..and just coasting? If so, its completely normal.
