Do I rebuild them or replace them?
what kind of lifespan do they have between rebuilds? the transfer case needs to be rebuilt due to a bad driveline taking out the bearings, and the throw out bearing has gone out. while I have the transmission out should I throw it away, or replace some bearings and reinstall it. I've seen the rebuild kits for the transfer case for $150 approx. but it seems you need a idler shaft also, or is that included in the kit?
Would I be happier trying to find a 700r4 or a sm465 the transmission seems to be in pretty good shape, but there's a clunk that I'm hoping is just because the transfer case is worn out.
what do I do.
this thing isn't a daily driver or a hardcore wheeler, so I'm leaning towards the transfercase rebuild and just replacing the front bearings on the transmission, but is this a bad idea. the cruiser has about 67k miles on it.
