Transfer case / Transmission?

is there supposed to be fluid where that hole is? It doesn’t really show any signs of fluid leaking out anywhere.

Hmmm, you found the problem. The case is blown up! The car will need a new or used transmission. I would try eBay for the unit and then swap it out. Let me know if you need instructions on how to R&R the transmission.

Is it the transmission or the transfer case?

I thought it was the transfer case that was mounted to the rear of the transmission and to the rear driveshaft?

Do you have a diagram that shows the transmission, the trans case, and the driveshaft?

I just want to make sure before I purchase the part. Thank you so much for your help. I greatly appreciate it.

Yep, my bad, you need a new transfer case. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

Many thanks. Do you happen to have the removal/installation instructions? I greatly appreciate it.

Sure, here are the removal and installation instructions for the transfer case. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

Hey Ken, transfer case is installed, and the car runs good. However, I did not know that you had to register or code the transfer case to the car. I do have a scan tool that will do that, but I will need to access the information on the transfer case. You don’t happen to have that procedure, do you?

Good job on the repair. The instructions look pretty vague, I would try a hard system reboot to see if the allows the systems to re-initialize.
