Transfer Case Gone? now what? (1 Viewer)

[fitz95678]

Hey guys,

A friend of mine had some tools that basically allowed us to pin point the sound I was having and basically its the AWD transfer case. Now I'm still new to the LC stuff and need to know what options should I look into. Do I buy a used one, if so where? or do I try and rebuild, if so where is the best place to purchase parts? Also, this has a 5.7 V8 swap plus a 700r tranny.

Thanks

Need more info, is it a Landcruiser AWD case? And which one? These transfer cases are bullit proof. What is it doing? You can check the classified section for a used one.

this one? or a hemi or a chevy

lots of help to be found here but first we need pics if its the yota !!!

(and yes as much info as possible such as lift, tire size, use, etc would help w/ the diagnosis)

you might try hardcore section too... but stick around some of the 80s gurus should be around shortly to help.

I purchased the 91 FJ80 about six months ago. When I got it home I started to check all the fluids give it a tune up and start working out the bugs. One of the things I noticed was the T-case fluid was bone dry, so I filled her up and start testing everything. The FJ would make a very high gear noise at about 47 mph and you could hear the same noise on a lesser note during all mph. So my friend has a tool which allowed us to put ears on major parts of the drive train and then go test it. Everything else was quite except the t-case, I think we might have lost some hearing it was so load. The T-case does look like its been leeking, so now I just need to know should I rebuild or look for a used one. Also was the AWD t-case the same up until what year in the 90's. Thanks guys, I'm still learning

No fluid will kill a transfer case. Mine is leaking from the speed sensor, maybe I should go check the level now...

Mine was too. From what i remember the gasket is not serviceable. I also remember others such as robbie and slee mention to FIPG it. So i did and it's all good.
