Re: Transfer Case Recall - IMPORTANT, Pleas Read!!!!
Has anyone got their tranny fixed becasue of problems with the TC? When they replaced my TC I guess they checked the oil in the tranny but nothing else. A little after the recall I started having problems after driving for a while so I asked them to check the TC oil and tranny for any problems and $400 later they say my car is fine. So I drive it back home 300 miles from home where it broke down and on the way back I get the same problem again. It feels like a bearing is grabbing. So I take it to the tranny shop that put the new tranny in before my TC went and they said my tranny oil was really dirty for a tranny with less than 10000K. I looked at the oil and it was really dark. This was a week after I had it checked by a dealer. I took it to a mechanic that knows Stealths and told him about the dirty oil and he said it's the Viscous coupling in the tranny. Expensive repair job and it's taken me a long time to find this new problem. But I can pretty much guarentee that when my TC locked up at 200 Km/h and blew the gears apart in the TC that it put a lot of force through the transmission. I guess I dont really have any way to prove it other than the few KM I have put on since the recall.
