How do you know when your transfer case is broken or gone??
Hi everyone, I was racing today and everytime I drag, I get scared that my transfer case would break. Everytime I shift into second and dump the clutch I get this popping noise, can someone please explain the noise? And how would you know when your transfer case is gone? I did some research, but couldnt find it. I only found things about "My Transfer Case Blew" etc etc...I want to know how do you know if it blew...Thanks...

What he said ^^^ --- Your TC would increase in volume until it sounded like a siren from a fire engine or something --- and it would do it WHENEVER the driveline is engaged.

My tcase broke last month and i was doing about 70 on I-10 and my car pretty much just stopped itself. The car wouldnt drive, and if you still cant tell that loud whine should let you know.
