Transfer Case

[skyline-lemans]

not sure if there is a thread anywhere on this, but the search facility doesn't seem to be working.

How big a job is it to remove the transfer case to inspect/replace the clutch pack?

I am told thats whats gone on mine...

many thanks

How was determination made that the clutch pack is gone?

They are expensive to replace from what I've heard, are you 100% sure its the clutch pack? Did someone take it apart and have a look or is it a guess?

I broke an actual shaft inside my transfer case, I bought a second hand one and kept the parts that were intact

have asked a few people and the generally concensus is that i's the clutch pack..

under hard acceleration this kinda judder jumpy feeling came from the passenger side floor with a nasty crunchy noise.

Now I just have rear wheel drive ( if all four wheels are lifted and the cars in gear..the fronts do spin but they can be stopped with your foot.) The pump seems to be priming ok but I'm not sure how to check the pressure..

Interesting, my car effectively stopped moving, both rear and front when the shaft broke, I could release the clutch and rev to 3K RPM, wait 3 seconds and then the car would start moving.

In fact it would not stall with clutch out.

Anyway, Racepace and Award diff and gearbox are known to rebuild them, but neither are cheap, from memory $800-1000, I went second hand for $400. I saw one around $200 second hand at the time but unknown condition...

I am now in a similar situation.. transfer case clutch packs gone. Hardly surprising considering the age, condition and usage. Mine just spins off same as a motorbike clutch slipping when it is stuffed, gauge moves but rears spin. Checked that pump works, bled system, and then dropped it in to a local specialist workshop for confirmation. I don't have a gauge assembly to test the pressure.

Rebuild and labour I was quoted just on $2.5k. I have picked up a secondhand unit which I will be inspecting and probably get the same workshop to fit. Cost will be closer to 1k, if everything is good, big if though.. They picked a bad intake manifold leak as well so yet more repairs that I have to do..

Who quoted the 2.5K? My previous calls were a lot lower on price for a rebuild, I think it was $1400 or so with the upgraded clutch packs to handle higher power levels...

Perth is a very small city.. That quote was including the labour for removal and refit of the gearbox as well as the work on the gearbox itself, if you aren't adding that into your consideration.

All up I considered it a fair price.

Ok sure, as long as your happy with the price.

Just FYI, here in Melbourne the $400 second hand included the labor to remove/fit the second hand transfer case. Rebuilds obviously cost more, good luck.
