I see enough posts on this website about people getting their transfer case replaced but I don't see anything about what happens to the old one.

Does anybody that has had their transfer case replaced still have the old/damaged unit? I need a transfer case to dissect so I can find a source for bearings and other internal parts. I've also decided that I am going to have my transfer case internals cryo-treated to make them stronger- hopefully it will hold up to the 350+ hp I plan on producing with two turbochargers under the hood

I need anyone who may have an old/broken transfer case to speak up. I am willing to offer money for a unit that would otherwise be thrown away. I also have a buddy that does a lot of welding who is going to make me a transfer case bracket to help re-inforce the case under load (7000 rpm launches...)

Also looking for a bad propeller shaft. A company that is a few miles away from me makes 1-piece carbon fiber driveshafts for ~1000 that would not only make the car faster, but it would also have no U-joints to go bad due to the 1-piece design. Considering a factory replacement driveshaft is about $1200, I think $1000 for a performance aftermarket unit is a steal! Not to mention maintenance free.

 

I have no idea what a used/broken transfer case is worth. I was thinking maybe $100? It's not like it can be used for anything other than parts. I'm not trying to low-ball or anything, I really have no clue what it is worth. I know that on other platforms a used (working) AWD transfer case runs ~$50-250. I've never attempted to buy something broken before, but I need one for fabrication reasons.

 

If I had one Tokay you could have it for nuthin bro.........shipping only!
$100 seems like a really fair price for sumthin thats broken and of no use to anybody other than for parts. Even then, only if you're really mechanically minded I guess!
What'd you reckon Santi?
Btw...........so guys, dint mean to butt in or anything, just my thoughts for what they're worth.

I think if it's broken, then at most $50. That's just me though, I'd most likely give it away.

 

Yeah, I figured anything would be a fair price considering its broken, but the world is all about supply and demand. I need one, he has one. The cheaper the better but I still need it.

 

i have a used one.. but thinking of selling itfor $1000.. it has only 10,000k on it..

 

i might have a broken one at my shop.. will check tomorrow..

 

To be fair.........if it was me and I was fitting a replacement for a broken one.....Jeesh...........you could have the bloody thing for shipping charges or foc on collection
But as Tokay says.....Its all about supply n demand......this guy must be in sales or related employment

Jim

 

I don't need one that works- I'll leave those for the people that need them. I need a broken one.

 

bump.

Still looking for one of these...

 

Hey Tokay.......no luck with Santi I guess?
Shame mate!

Other than that I think you may have a wait on your hands till one comes up. These babies are like rocking horse ****......thin on the ground[&:]

Good luck anyways
If I hear of anything I'll let you know

Jim

 

Tokay - Just for you! As this sounds an interesting project and you need a little help to get it off the ground, I'm gonna pin this to the top for a while to see if we cant get you sorted.
In the meantime, why dont you email / pm ken@britishparts and Jag genius to see what they may be able to do for you?

Good luck

Jim

I never heard from santi again, perhaps he hasn't re-visited the site? I will keep bumping this thread to the top until someone with a broken transfer case or prop shaft decides to sell/donate it to me. Once I have a transfer case I can't see it taking me much more than a few weeks to have a transfer case cage welded up.

Thanks for the help. Hopefully I will be able to find one then bring a new product to the table. I also know a transmission guy with a state of the art facility that does simply amazing work. If I give him the broken case he will be able to find sources for all the internal parts and perhaps he will offer a transfer case re-build service. I've spoken with him about his before and he said he'd take a look once I gave him something to work with.

 

Anyone here got any Ideas to help out a fellow member??
Would really be appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Jim

 

Just noticed you made the post stick to the top for a while- much appreciated. I will email/PM the people you mentioned later today when I get home from work. Thanks for the help with this. Hopefully something will come of it so we can get some stronger parts for the transfer case.

 

Hey tokay.......doesnt look like you're getting much joy with this at all. Did you try Ken or Jag genius?
We'll give it another couple of days and unfortunately if you have no luck we'll have to let it go[&:]
If you haven't already, ask Ken and Jag genius, cant do any harm!

Best of luck

Jim
