found the issue with my transfercase

Okay my whole drivetrain has had the worst done to it. Im at the shop and they double checked it for me now sheptrans rebuilt my transfercase I paid out for that. Now the issue when the car was put back together the seal was leaking that wasnt supposed to happen. Now the last issue and I hope the god its checked the issue with with the gearbox itself.

I hear a clunking noise coming from it I will post pictures of the leak and the video of the clunk when I get home. Whats the worsecase scenario becasue it sounds like its tripping on something but its not scaping its like a clunking noise? Bearing,it does it at idle and while in gear. I never even raced the ****in car or even gotten a chance to race it this car is worse than my ex' girlfriend just giving me hell

You're going to post pictures of the clunking noise? You're putting some pretty horribly constructed pseudo sentences together here and I can't tell what's going on. Start over so we can actually have a clue what's what.

first off,
who reassembled the car?? the seals are very delicate upon reinstallation of the axles. also, did they use any type of lube prior to reinstalling the axle?? it is possible that the seal was dry and is now burnt causing a leak when the assembly gets to operating temperature....

secondly, i would pull the drain plug to see if there is any debris on the magnet to see if a tooth is chipped and that may be cause for the noise. anything is possible right now, you have to track it down. you can also pull the inspection plate to check the trans gears. its the inverted pan......

good luck.

Yes I know who reinstalled the seals its a certified shop that specializes in Evo's. The shops name is Racing Results they do good work but seals on a transfercase especially after being rebuilt should not go like that I literally babied the car and now that.

No the seals are new and have been properly lubricated before the install and and considering the fact that its new that should have never happened. I hear what your saying though.

The rattle is most likely normal trans behavior for these cars. What happens is there is space between the gears and they hit each other creating the rattling sound. If the car runs fine and sounds normal during operation there shouldn't be an issue.

As for that leak, I would also check the axle that mates with the seal. Those surfaces typically have a very good finish (ground). If it has been scratched/dinged/dented it will also cause a leak. FYI, replacing that seal isn't difficult. The biggest expense is replacing the fluids again.

It's leaking from the axle seals? from the picture, it didn't look like the axle was all the way seated into the transfer case....

No trust me it was seated in there I double checked when it was on the lift. Secondly about the tranmission I dont think its supposed to sound like that at all. Not a knocking noise like that you really need to listen to the video and then jack up your car and listen for the difference. It sounds like somethings not going on right in there.
