2005 Evo T-case Is Bad!!!!

Wow, i'm one of those black sheep who gets struck by lightning over and over and over. I finally got a new tranny but i only lasted 350 miles. Now i find out my transfer case is bad. My local dealer says You cant buy parts to rebuild them ???? so now i need a new one. I'm considering eliminating the ACD from my car and just using a 2004 lsd T-case. Anyone have any information they can offer me on that??

Buy an EVO7 transfer case with the ACD, they are much stronger than the USSpec Evo8 transfer case.

Dude, just have it rebuilt by Jon from TeamRip or John from Sheppard racing. Whomever is closer to you. TC can be rebuilt .... btw the 05 do have the front LSD and ACD. The LSD is in your front diff and there is a rear clutch type LSD in your rear diff ....

There is a guy selling his TeamRip rebuilt TC on here. Hope you get yours fixed.
And why is your tranny not covered by the dealer? it's heavily modded? :P

dang....that sucks. Your car is always in the shop it seems like. UNREAL. Send the tc out and have it built and shimmed properly and that will fix that. Then if and when your trans goes out again send it to TRE also.

First time i've heard of a TC problem on the 05's. Sounds like you just have a shotty *** dealer. I'd try to get it covered at another dealership.
