Definitely sounds like a T case lockup

DCIV · 07-20-2008, 06:32 PM

TC.

Did you ever get the TC replaced from recall?

Weevil · 07-20-2008, 06:33 PM

your T-case locked up..you should always peroidically check your t-case for signs of leakage. Thankfully, you're okay.

OhioSpyderman · 07-20-2008, 06:36 PM

Unfortunately, I'll have to agree

If so, not only do you have a TC to replace, but there could be other tranny, drivetrain and tire issues to deal with.

Sorry....

Bob.

Like Bob said, you very well could have a bit more than your TC to replace, I'd unfortunately say your tires are a definite part to replace along with the TC. Send it off to the dealer as it's under a safety recall and they will need to replace it for free.

This is why people need to periodically check their TC's and stay up on the fluid levels.

yup, the tires are gone! bummer they only had 1500 miles on them. so much for the cf hood i was goiing to buy tommorrow. hopefully its tires and tc only. it was the scariest moment ive ever had driving! thanks for all your speedy replys! j sin

Yep definitely the transfer case. Just because it was replaced doesn't mean it won't lock up. After my lockup, I check for puddles before I even start my car. Make is as habitual as checking your oil level. You'll thank me.

Alright if you still want to get those pics. Go to one of your pictures, don't click on it, and select options. Then select send. then select new picture message and then send it to your e-mail.
