transfer case vibration
« on: October 27, 2007, 01:24:50 PM »
I got the transfer case put all back together and now under power the transfer case vibrates like mad and when I push the clutch in it makes a horrible banging sound. 

What could I have done wrong?  I did all the measurements and put in the shims.  Could I have gotten bad rebuild parts?  I bought them from Rocky Road.  The transfer case seemed to operate fine when it was out of the car just after the rebuild.

You mean they were put back together wrong? I think mine are too but I can't tell how they are suppose to go so I have a slight vibration. I can't identify a mark to line them up.

Hmm, Ack must have fallen asleep  :) :) :)

Check out Ack's faq, he has a video showing how to align the driveshafts.

I'll check it now but I sure couldn't find any marks to identify.

I may have been looking in the wrong spot. I think when I get home tomorrow, if they don't try to kill me again at work   :o :o >:( >:(, I'm going to drop my rear drive shaft and check again. Sounds like the vibration will rip the hell out of stuff if you let it go to long. :o :o

You know, I had been running for years without ever checking to see if mine were aligned properly.  Ends up they where, but by accident more then anything else.  :)

The dot is on the end of the spline on mine.  Kind of a pain to see if you don't know where to look.

That was my problem. I wasn't looking in the right spot. Also helps to wipe off the grease. I dropped mine and wiped the grease off and their back in phase now for sure. I feel like an idiot not knowing about this already. I already wiped off the under coat from the p.o. and now I think all my vibration is gone. Even the vibration I had from day one when I took off thru 1st and 2nd gear. I also had them both backwards according to the f.s.m. I don't know what it would matter but that's fixed too. And here I was thinking they might have been out of balance. This thread saved me alot of time, headaches, money and possibly a transmission and transfer case. And it only took about an hour.  ;D ;D 8) 8)
