I borrowed a busted one from a local DSM/Evo shop and sent it in, so when it arrived, I just had that same shop swap out the freshly built one for the busted one on my Evo to avoid downtime.
how much did it end up costing you?

Mine has been whining for about a month. Went to get it warrantied and they said it was my tc but then the next day said it wasn't and replaced the rear diff instead. I got the car back w the whine and a new rear diff. Its gonna go back again. I have a IX w 24000 miles in case anyone is wondering.

I'm sponsored, so it's a different situation.

Groove, that's because the t-case noise resonates through the driveshaft and sounds like it is coming from the rear of the car. That's probably why they changed out the rear diff even though there is no precedence for the rear diff behaving like that.
