Transfer Case noise and where to get it fixed?
I've been getting this noise in the engine compartment area when I stop at the stop light with the engine running. It sounds like something loose with the clutch assembly. If I depress the clutch pedal the noise is gone and when I lift off it comes back.
Then yesterday, after I installed new tires on the front I noticed a whining noise from the engine compartment after I decelerate on highway speeds. I've read threads where the tranfer case breaking and making the noise also. So here are my questions......
1. Is it my transfer case going? or clutch? it runs fine just worried the noise might get louder and what happens if the transfer case lets go?
2.How much is it to fix?
3. Which dealer should I go in O.C.? I got a cat back RS-R exhuast, Greddy Type S BOV, and Sparco Harness bar. Nothing else on the engine so the dealer should fix the transfer case under warranty. (Since I didn't touch anything in the engine internals)
I've heard Huntington Beach is a cool dealership so I'm leaning towards that.
Thanks for the help!

Go to Tuning Technologies in Colton, CA. 909 783 1200. Ask for Chris or Alfred and tell em Smoggy sent you. They will diagnose your problem and will not try to weasel you out of your money. They can fix it if needed too. If it is really your transfer case, they have a used front diff that is in perfect condition for you to buy and they would install it for around $250.

The transfer case won't let go, rather it'll lock up. If the transfer case locks up basically all your wheels will stop spinning and then you will slide. Hopefully it's not when you're going 70+ on the highway.

How many miles do you have on your car?

Thanks for the input.
I hope it's what you are saying and not the transfer case problem. Currently I have 23,000 miles on the car and the car runs fine. Just a bit concerned.
Also I looked at how much it cost to replace/ purchase a transfer case and on the forums I see it's around $2000!
Like my previous posts about what I have on my car, if I want to get the warranty from the dealer I'll have to take the parts out before I bring it in. (BOV, Sparco seatbelt bar, exhaust?) Those aftermarket parts have nothing to do with the transfer case but they might be picky etc.
