Broken Transfercase! @ 7km/h

[XRATED]

Check this out.

Broken transfer case chain... snapped and punched through the casing at 7 km/h.

Dose anyone have a breakdown parts diagram/picture of the transfer case?

Has anyone ever seen this? Are there any common faults to look for?

Car specs: 33 GTR- 860 odd bhp, stock box/case, 2.6 forged with a single billet precision turbo and supporting mods. Street tyres, some spirited driving and lots of dyno time (box number 3).

Any advice or the parts break down diagram would be great.

Cheers

well..I've broken a transfer case chain too, but I've never heard of anyone else doing it.

In my case the xfer case had just been rebuilt, took it racing at targa and the 4wd slowly failed until the chain broke/smashed the box selector so I had to retire.

I assume that the clearences in the rbuild were incorrect causing some sort of bearing to fail and seizing the FWD portion of it, which in turn broke the chain next time I launched.

There are a couple of places around who can rebuild them, but I just chose to get a seoncd hand one for about $400 and not touch it, has been running fine for 2 years of racing since

If you don't mind me asking, what fluid were you running in the transfer case, Genuine Matic D, Transmax Z etc ?

[XRATED]

Genuine Matic D.

Yeah... I've never seen it either. It was a stock box.

Dose anyone have a parts breakdown picture with part numbers?

Cheers

Hey mate, the part number for the chain is 3315205U00. It's about 600 bucks new. I'm redoing a transfer case at the mo and there's probably a few more things you'll need to look at, but I reckon the hole in the case might be a issue. Def cheaper to get a second hand one for about 200- 400. If you want more info on the case internals and part numbers let me know.

lots of dyno time

AWD dyno or RWD?

AWD Dyno

Update: Car is getting a new plenum and individual tb... going for 900 at the wheels.

AWD dyno kills the attessa as you've just found out.

You need to run it in RWD mode on the dyno to prevent drivetrain issues. Sure it works for a short time but in the end they don't like it. I pull the fuse i the boot
