What would cause a howl or whine from the ransfer case? I blew the rear end while it was in auto and now it makes a noise. It can be pretty loud at times but mostly heard when slowing down to turn a corner. Theres also a little play when getting on and off the gas, it feels as though a load in the bed has shifted.

 

How many miles on it? I've heard that the clutches in the 246 can wear out and get that "play" in them.

 

95000 kms. its got a whine similar to a rear end

 

Pinion bearing maybe? Not sure if that was replaced when you redid the rear. Might have to take it to a tranny shop to get a diagnosis of what's damaged in the case.

 

Nah when I got the rear done I replaced everything, locker, ring, pinion and all bearings.

 

Any other suggestions?

 

mine was doing the same thing youre explaning. had the front and rear gears replaced, and suprisingly the noise went away. i was sure i was gonna have to rebuild the t-case, but no more noise. i dont remember what case i have, its not the auto track, but mine doesnt have clutches in it. as far as i knew, none had clutches in the transfer case

 

I was hoping that it wasn't the gears as all i snew and hopefully set up right, I had a mechanic do it.

 

What brand are they?

 

the gears are from quality gears and the bearinkg kit is the one that comes from detroit locker
