Measure the crankshaft endplay....

I had a 3kgt-VR4 for quite a whiile, so I'm familiar with the transfer case issue on those. So I'll be sure to check that on this one. Thanks.

That's a great link.. .thanks!

Crankwalk, from what I also heard is MUCH less frequent on an auto trans car. I'll keep an eye out for that too the next time I'm in the right spot to measure that crankshaft endplay (however you do that...).
