^ You can rebuild the gears apparently, but for what it costs, you'd do better buying a new transfer case.

 

well, $1,600 for the used transfer case comes with 90 day warranty. thats not much of a warranty. I wish I could trade this car in but I'm afraid nobody will buy it if you can't even put it in drive. Unfortunately, it looks like I will sell it once its fixed. I am tired of worrying about the transmission, transfer case, torque convertor. I just replaced the fuel pump for $800 bucks too. Its a shame too since I really like this car.

 

^ Why in the hell would you buy a used transfer case for $1600? Trust me you look around long enough, you'll find one for less than $500. When I was looking for one, I found a few for that price, give or take $100.

And if you're gonna trade it in, I'd just get a working transfer case in there and take it str8 to the dealer washed and cleaned up to get maximum value out of it.

You can get a transfer case and install done for less than $1200. Whether you keep the car after that is all up to you.

 

I didn't know you can buy one for so cheap? where can I find one? junkyards?

 

There's 4. I suggest you go ahead and pick one up.

will all transfer cases fit for my 2002 auto. 2.5 liter? or do i have to worry about the engine size and or year?

thanks again!

 

NO THEYRE ALL THE SAME

 

2001-2003 have the viscous coupling. All others do not. Most say that the 2004+ do not feel like a rear drive car, while the 2001-2003 models feel more like a rear drive car. I haven't driven a newer one, so can't really speak for that.

Other than that, I'm almost certain that they're all interchangeable. Engine size doesn't matter.

 

last question, I guess it doesn't matter if this is an automatic or manual transmission when I am buying a used transfer case? I just want to make sure. thanks again, I am very stressed and pissed off right now and it doesn't help to see my jag in so many pieces.

 

Trans doesn't matter either.

 

Sorry to hear hanky. Hope you get it all fixed up and get a decent amount from it.

 

Update: I got the car back after a hefty bill of $2,150 for a used transfer case. the car drives great, and thank god it wasn't the transmission. I lost confidence in my car and can't keep up with the repair bills. Unfortunately it looks like I will have to sell my car. I will probably look into buying another Jaguar in the future but this time it will include some kind of warranty!

 

It's still nice to see that your car got fixed . In any case whatever your next car is you shouldn't leave the forums

 

I have to thank everyone for all the support on this great forum. I learned so much from everyone here and I will continue to visit and leave my comments until I buy my next Jaguar!

 

I'd just like to say I'm quite impressed. You've had wayyyyy more problems than the average owner by far and yet you still want to come back! When you need help with the pick of the next car let us know! Post here in the x-type forum as well!

Glad you got the car fixed!
