damn, I'm already replacing the transfer case and adaptor so at least it isn't that bad.
When I took my transfer case off, I found a pretty big problem. The gear oil inside was a silvery color because of all the metal flakes that I assume came from the adaptor and tranny shaft. front and rear output seals are shot and leak like a b!tch. there were a small handful of curious looking broken metal pieces in the bottom of the case, and some more on the input shaft of the transfer case itself. i don't even know what they are from
. and the bearing on the input shaft is really wobbly and doesn't have all the ball bearings in it. i'm glad that im switching to NP205.
