To place the sprocket inside that planetary gears assy you can see in the picture on top of the chain has been very difficult
following the manual you have marks in the four upper gears.

Sorry, I am not sure what you are saying, there is no timing for these gears, can you be more specific, what is the problem?

Okay Ken,

Work is done and it looks okay.
The plastic fork was replaced by aluminum fork.
The H3 drive smooth like months before, while it was parked I replaced my sparks and cleaned up the throttle body.
The thing I noted now is around 30-35 miles the car starts to shake, what can it be?

Yep, the plastic wears out not engaging the transfer case. Did the shake start after the transfer case repair or was it there before? If after I would look to see if the driveshaft is stalled correctly you could have a balance issue. Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? That would be great. You can upload it here with your response.

After the transfer case installed balance? Please, don't scare me, what is the driveshaft? Is it inside the TC or external? I placed everything back as installed before.
I will take the video after living this place this place.

No need for videos, and yes, you were absolutely right.
I got both driveshaft checked and noted one of them was a little out of position, so now it's working fine, no more vibrations.

How can I tell if the plastic fork in my transfer case in my 2006 Hummer H3 is going bad. I have not had any adverse effects, would not mind getting it replaced or machining me a new one. I have alot of experience working on vehicles. It drives around good, I have just heard alot about this part. My father is a GM certified mechanic, I asked him and he told me that if it has no adverse effects then he would not help me pull the transfer case apart. I really dont know how to tell if it is bad.

Does it work? No? It's bad. Yes? It's good. If I'm interpreting your father correctly, he doesn't want to dig into a fairly major job like if there is no problem.

I have one issue
the car always drive smooth but randomly gets stuck when you move in reverse for example trying to go out of a parking spot.
I think it's something with the parking brake probably, you can here a noise, like a squeal
what do you think?
