Possibly call a Chrysler dealer with your VIN # to see if the transfer case recall has been checked or performed.

Stock clutches will not hold up long with much power or abuse. I suggest an ACT brand clutch, more so a 2600lb with a street disk. Opinions vary, many recomend the Southbend clutches as well.

I personally have broken shift forks in a tranny, and I've even managed to break the front open differential which put a hole in the case. I wouldn't worry about the tranny too much yet. The late 1Gs have a stronger tranny anyways.

All fluids done. GM synchro.

Transfer case is from another car - suggestions?
