Keep a spare in the trunk and call it a day.

Re: T-case bracing?

Wouldn't bracing the rear diff be more effective instead of the xfer case?

Re: T-case bracing?

I agree with Ryan, I think the T-case issue is actually the gears grenade and taking out the casing, versus on the 3s,it would split at a mounting hole/internal hole area where the metal is really thin. (9 out of 10 we saw cracked at this exact intersection of holes), and then leak fluid=mass carnage.

I would say look into what the big boys do to keep them in check, I doubt it is really a base. Maybe make sure the driveline is preloaded before you launch at 550+ft. lbs/torque +slicks, or specially made gears, etc.

Re: T-case bracing?

I just thought of a great idea! Transfer case Insulation! To keep the transfer case all warm and cozy. I can have my fiance knit (fabricate)up something, Then i wont have to worry about the transfer case fluids freezing, ive heard of this happening before, it destroys everything! lol poke.

Re: T-case bracing?

Heh, I love how even when Swifty asks a legitimate question he gets 2 pages of trolling like were still in high school. I noticed I also have a alum headed transfer case, Is there any rhyme or reason to which cases have cast head pieces and which ones are alum?

Re: T-case bracing?

22 spline t-cases are aluminum (Galant VR4), and 23 spline cases are steel.
