the guys at two different shops said it shouldnt be a problem to fix but they both said they would need the model # before they start looking for and ordering parts for the inside of it - neither one of them wanted to crack it open without knowing if they could get the parts first - tried the search (even in the archives) and found nothing
...man you shoulda seen some of the rigs in these shops... one place does mostly large commercial trucks and super heavy duty 4x4's - they were doing rear differential work on a monster truck i think it was called sir crush a lot or something - pretty cool - kinda softened the blow of knowing my vx is not going to be a cheap fix (my $6k vx is up to about $9k with all the crap that has went wrong with it in the past 6 months) ...this car hasnt even really given me a chance to enjoy it yet
if noone responds with a model # i might start a new thread just on transfer case and associated info for people to add to as they find it seeing as there doesnt seem to be one on the site already
