Picked Up an 04 Evo RS $8500
the trasfer case is something every evo owner will deal with if they keep the car long enough. mine broke when the car was still stock, but i was 2nd owner and the guy before me modded the car and hurt the tc enough that it blew within a few months of me driving it. you'll know when/if you kill it...really loud whining from underneath the center console that gets louder as you climb rpm. as it gets really bad it will sound like a table saw as u get on and off throttle. if you have the $ and plan on keeping the car for a while and gaining power, its a good idea to have it built. it will cost u more to rebuild a broken tc than to rebuild a functioning one to not break in the first place. you mentioned KevinD was helping u with ur car...he's been around here for a long time, so he'll be able to point u in the right direction. there are also TONS of transfercase thread on here...if you want to learn more just search...have fun and welcome
God informatio guys, thanks. Ill call them at the shop today.
someone call the POLICE. cuz you just robbed your friend! man i can't believe Evos are selling for less than 10k now. It's not a Honda people, the depreciation value has to flat line soon, especially since so many Evos are being totaled.
