Noise when moving... transfer case?

ahhh, so maybe it does need adjustment.

You should pull the transfer case and visually inspect it your self (or have someone else look at it) and take it to the dealership by itself. Explain to them as politely as possible you are aware of he recall, and would like to have a technician take a look at it. That would also be a good time to change the fluid, and fix that leak (assuming its not recall based). Oh and tis really easy to remove the transfer case. Take your downpipe off, and there are 5 bolts holding it on. You can then gently pry it away from the transmission. If you dont feel like working your arms, have a jack ready to "catch" the xfer case when you slide it off.
Ive heard that dealerships sometimes give you trouble if you jsut walk in with the transfer case itself... have you personally done this?

Pulling on the shifter and having the cable misadjusted are two separate things. The only problems I've ever solved adjusting cables in mine or anyone else's cars have been problems with going into gear and grinding.

Next time your driving your car pull on the shifter a little with the clutch out and in gear it will make noise.

If the cable is tight on one side it will put pressure on the gear.

any other experts wanna chime in? niterydr? Jet?

I'm with Steve (goatblower) on this one, the cables would have to be awfully misadjusted for them to create noise within the gearbox. With cables that misadjusted it would be highly unlikely you could even get the car in gear. First and foremost, call the dealership with your VIN# to see if you car has had the Xfer recall performed yet. Have you checked the level/condition of the fluids in the tranny/xfer/diff?

[s1ngletracker]

Ive recently drained and refilled transfer case, within the last week (i sure hope it doesnt leak that fast) and the rear diff, which doesnt leak. I'm doing the tranny tonight.

I was thinking that, how would i even be able to shift, but honestly i'm really wondering about this...

haha bringing the transfer case to the dealership reminds me of that guy that got reallly pissed at the dealership. He got so upset at them that he threw the transfer case through the window of a brand new EVO.

just a story

Have you actually looked for a leak? or just refilled it?

[s1ngletracker]

it doesnt leak out the yoke seal, thats already been replaced. However its been leaking some out the drain and fill plugs. It still is almost full of fluid.

but regardless of how much fluid is in it right at this moment, could it have been damaged through its life, however long thats been, to where it makes noise now?

wheel bearings?
