transfer case question
I'm looking at an evo that the current owner says sometimes whines from the transfer case. Does this mean its definitely gone and will have to be replaced? Is there any chance a switch of fluid could help at all? Thanks

Death Whine gets louder with speed increase, in or out of gear, on or off throttle. It's very loud- like a storm siren. There are several video/sound clips on You Tube if you'd like an example.

Mine also does this at 60mph but for me it is more vibration from the tires/road surface that makes any real sound for me. As far as I gather from research and videos a faint whine at 60 and nowhere else is just normal drivetrain noise.
What gave me reassurance is that I changed my tc fluid and there was no metal in the fluid or on the drain plug except for maybe a few small shavings from normal wear and tare. Change your fluid and see if there are any large pieces, if not I'd say you're fine unless the noise graduates to higher volumes and throughout the speed range.
