Well my transmission is toast. The input shaft is fine, but the forward drum is stripped which means contamination got into the transmission. My buddy said it is going to be 1,200.00 which is still cheap, but tough to swallow when money is tight. He hasn't looked at my transfer case yet. There is a clicking sound when you spin the front driveshaft. It doesn't have pump rub and was full of fluid.
I would very tempted to split the transfer case and install the redesigned wear plate while the transfer case is out. The part is relatively cheap compared to a replacement rear housing. You will never know if the old wear plate is starting to eat at the housing unless the cases are split and inspected or until the damage has already been done.
X2, this is an easy job and well worth the time.
