transfer case promblems

[Up N Smoke]

got a 01 dodge seems to have a little to much play in the driveline and just started popping out of 4 wheel drive. im sure its probaly the transfer case but it drives smooth no vibrations was wondering what i should look for in the tcase?

 

[cummin get it]

Might have a crack on the case

The pads on the shift forks are probably shot.

looked didnt see any cracks on it . i wondered about the pads but i dont understand the excessive play in it ?

 

[zstroken]

Well if the pads were worn, you may have not been fully engaging the splines, and could have worn the splines.

pops out of 4wd into 2wd or pops out of 4wd into Neutral?

 

[cummin get it]

If I remember right there are about 6 brass pieces that are on the gear with the chain that sometimes fall off. @ the 0 120 &240 degree marks. There are two per degree one inter and one outer. When mine had a lot of play I only had two out of the six.

Think those are part of the synchronizer.

One other thing, I had a tcase apart and a part of the sychronizer spring was laying in the detent area.

Open it up and take a look.

Sounds good to me I know what the parts looked like just didn't know names

Mine does the same thing in my 96, a 271 with a Ford rear flange will be the answer in a few weeks...
