Question:
I posted a question on here Friday about the same thing. Please read it. My Jeep is making a knocking noise when I drive it...I took it to the shop and he drove it up the road and back and said I need to have the transfer case rebuilt and I am looking at a grand. I called around some other places to ask them how much they charge and I keep getting I don't know without taking it out and looking at it first...which is between 400 to 500 bucks! Not really sure what to do? Should I pay the grand to have it rebuilt? One person suggested getting the transfer case at the junk yard and just replace it BUT I have looked everywhere...locally and nationwide and I can't find one. It's 4.7L and V8 and 4 wheel drive all the time. Any ideas...please let me know. Thanks. Oh also, what makes them go bad? I have 93,000 miles and I don't go four wheeling or anything...so just wondering why it would go bad. Thanks.

How much would it cost to fix a dent above the back wheel of my car? its about 6 inches long??
It could have been low on fluid or burnt it up. The vehicle is all the time 4 wheel drive so, the transfer case is always engaged and working. If it was a 4 whell part-time, then it probably would have been fine. Usually the problem is poor maintenance in those circumstances. The fluid should have been changed every 30,000 miles or so to keep things in good working order. As far as a transfer case goes, the best thing to do is look up LKQ on the net and see if you can find one there. They are huge and their parts are in great shape.Is it possible to replace a Morris Minor engine with a more recent, other brand, engine?
The reason you don't get quotes over the phone is because they try to sell you by getting you to bring it in and letting them look at it. That is how transmission shops make money, called the bait and switch tactic. They train their managers to answer calls that way to get the customer into the door. If it is free to have me look at it, then it won't be that much to fix. That is how they think and act, so be cautious. I also agree with the previous poster, it very well could just be the front u-joints making a banging and the people are just trying to get your money. They will pull it out clean it up, put it back in, and fix the real problem which is your u-joints. Seen it a hundred times.
