Hi all,

I have a transfer case whine, ring and pinion wiped. My evo has 110K miles so no warranty and I am going to eventually buy a new xfer case ~$3k or stage 1 jacks rebuilt ~$2.5K. My question is, should I just keep driving my evo until it breaks since I will be getting a new xfer case? Or will I cause damage to other components if I do?

Thanks.

 

how bad is the whine and when was the last time you had the fluids flushed? Over time the whine will get louder and a flush might make it go away.

 

Or just buy a used one from eBay for a third of the price.

There are plenty of geniuses crashing their evos out there.

 

It's fairly loud, but I can still drown it out with the radio or windows down. But at 40+mph it whines.

It actually started after I changed the fluids myself, probably should have left it to the professionals... I followed the Mitsu Service manual but then I read elsewhere that you fill the xfer case until it drips out then drive a couple blocks and fill it up again. I didn't to the second fill up until I noticed the whine which was after ~ 40 miles of driving.

 

I'll look into this, but I would really hate to get bamboozled and get a transfer case that also whines lol or has another issue..

 

It's only been whining for 40 miles? Just add fluid and see what that does.
