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 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.

I know this incident is unfortunate, however..... I DID without a doubt put fluid in the transmission (3 quarts of GM syncromesh) I physically poured the fluid while my friend (also very competent with cars) held the tube to the trans fill hole, I also had 4 other people standing right there while this procedure was being done.

also... the car drove 150 miles before it locked up and would not have gone that far with out fluid... so any and all claims that SloPny is making that I neglected to put trans fluid in the car before driving is invalid

That being said, Ben. You your self admitted to your "buddy" stating that he ragged on it while driving it back from (somewhere) I think you said slopny actually.

Now him beating on it, before it being properly broke in may and most likely did cause some sort of mechanical failure, or binding. Transmissions need time to have all the parts seat, become lubricated and so on.

So if he did infact, pound a couple of gears "while the car was cold" I personally aint suprised it failed.

my friend did rip through first, however only once the car was in motion and was solidly in gear... no launching going on.... he did not "slam" second gear either

Glad to hear it shifts nice  You'll have to give me a ride in that beast. How's she running now? Boost ok?

thanks nathan!!!!! No the car is not boosting right... I haven't had a chance to adjust the MAF translator... tomorrow I will look at it (no time tonight, and I don't know what I am doing with a translator) I will call you after I get off work
