Transfer case issues, when it rains it pours!!! Options

[SCCA Stang]

not even a week after getting my GSX on the road..... trouble strikes again!!!

the transfer case locked up on me two blocks from my place

I can't help but think that I screwed up somewhere when I put it back in, but then again, maybe I didn't... (I hope not)

but never the less, I need to get this fixed quick
what's the deal with the transfer case recall????
how do I persue it????
if it isn't gonna be covered, does anyone have one for sale on the cheap, ie, KOU, anyone else????

help as soon as possable will be appreciated, thanks in advance!!!

I'm sorry to hear of your trouble with the transmission ben. Although I have no business ties with SloPny at this time, I would have to say Slo Pny is not at fault on this one though.

I viewed your transmission and the underside of your car while it was at SloPny the other day. It appears that there was no fluid in the trans, because there are no traces of fluid on the trans, around the hole in the trans, in the trans it's self or on the bottom of the car. Transmission fluid does not evaporate in any obvious manner so it is very improbably that it spilled out. having no trans fluid would lead to everything getting overheated and something finally breaking which would result in popping a hole in the trans if caught between a gear and the case.

It's pretty tough to put together a trans pourly enough that a part will break off with no other cause. If it is not due to lack of fluid, my guess would be a fatigued/used gear or a flaw in the manufaturing of a new part.

Like I said I'm not standing up for myself on this one, but I did see the results of this very unfortunate problem. That's why it's good to have a group of people like we do at DSMCentral to help each other out. Good job NCGalant!

There are no other business in the local area with such a good track record for building the DSM transmissions. And there is no one that I know of that is as affordable. Sometimes 'stuff' happens...my car is a prime example.
