Chalk a few hundred clams up to lack of experience I guess.  I JUST rebuilt this case with all new seals/bearings. Literally took it on one 4-6 hour woods trip afterwards.  I must have done something wrong.  None of the other gears are like this so I assume something came loose somewhere.

BTW im in need of a new case... pm me!!!


transfer case noise , trans noise, xfer case noise, transfer grinding

That sucks dude.  Sorry to see that was the source of the noise.  I hope that you get it all sorted out with the least amount of money, time and effort.

That sounds like the same cause and effect.  It looks like the lower needle bearing "cage" overheated/failed as a result. The bottom "ring" on the lower of the two bearing sets was chewed up along with the copper ring that sits on the case. My case fluid looks like magic pixie dust was sprinkled in it lol.

Worst part is all the bearings/seals are brand new.  With the metal shavings everywhere... salvaging and cleaning the output bearings is a bad idea probably? ...how about saving the seals?
