There is a local shop that will rebuild my transfer case and my transaxle. He could order gear sets for 95 and 96 Stealth but there is nothing available for a 94. The price for a gear set was about $800 CDN and there were 2 differen't gear sets available. I'm guessing the differen't gear sets are for a differen't spline coming off the tranny. A new transfer case from Dodge was $4000 CDN and it would cost me about $1500 to rebuild with gears. With the recall already launched in Canada I am going to throw the parts in a box and drive my car home. Dodge was not helpfull at all and they would not take the recall number from me and got annoyed when I asked them if there was any way they could get the recall to speed up a little. I'm going to call Transport Canada again on monday and see if Dodge is just ignoring it or if they haven't recieved the recall yet. Both Dodge and Transport Canada said they should have the recall within a day or 2 of it being launched. I got the car 3 months ago from a Dodge dealer and the transfer case seased a month ago and then blew the bearing apart. I'm sure the dealer knew there was a problem with it. When the TC was taken apart it was filled to the brim with oul. Probably to reduce noise and make it feel normal. I did feel the clunk in the clutch but I've had no experience with that kind of problem before. I'm still investigating and looking for some kind of a slip up that will prove they knew and if I can do that I'll go to the newspapers to tell them what kind of unsafe cars they are selling since they have been such a holes with the situation.
Also, if anyone knows a reason why you can't drive without a transfer case I'de like to know before I do it. :-) I will be making a cover to protect the spline shaft and crank gear that's exposed.
