When I bought the car one of my first jobs was to rebuild the transfer
case. The gears were blue but intact. I replaced all the bearings and
seals and the transfer case just kept working.
Sounds like these xcases are pretty stout. I was thinking mine was on
the way to exploding. When I'm in 2H or 4L things are ok. When I select 4H
it feels like it's slipping power to the front axle. Power, no power,
power, no power... Also, when I let off the gas, I hear metallic knocking
in there like the gears want to disengage but are on the edge of not doing
so. This is a SIIa xcase on a SIII tranny. The xcase was rebuilt 2-3 years
ago by another lister. Tranny is as it was when I bought the truck in '96,
noise but doesn't jump out of gear. I'm usually very smooth shifting it and
am trying to milk it as long as I can. Any ideas?
Thanks.
