| Post subject: | Shagged Jimny T-Case |
Well, i thought it may happen... and it did. seems like the chain on my t-case is slipping like a champ. making a god awful noise when i pull away hard and no noise if i baby it. does it fwd and reverse. Nothing brought it on specifically, just went for a moderate wheel last weekend (staked a brand new muddy while i was at it) Now the question is, is it fixable? or am i up for a new case? what would you blokes do? |

Either fit a new chain to your transfer or fit a Sierra (awesome) transfer. |

Doing the Sierra case swap isn't a cheap mod either. Your only running 215s right? |

It had been slipping occaisionally and I expected the worst but after fitting the new chain it drove fine. Perhaps not best practise but that car is still on the road 2 years later. |

| Post subject: | Re: Shagged Jimny T-Case |
well the 215s are BRAND new so im not changing them due to this happening. Sounds like a case swap with another jim is the best option. is the gearing the same across each model? I just want to be able to drive it again without spending bulk coin on it. its practically undriveable at the moment, would love a sierra case but i fear the time involved in sourcing all the parts is going to be extensive and expensive. how much are you blokes asking for the cases? Shoot me a PM |

I've seen hole's drilled & thread's tapped to make an adjuster in these piss weak chain case's. |
