What a bummer!! I finally got my transfer case to my mechanic the other day. He was testing it before they started the work. He called me and said the t-case won't shift into 2wd and it locked up while they were bench testing it. Dang!!! 180 day warranty, good. Another one is on the way. Mechanic called back and said well we decided to remove old t-case and get it ready for when new one came in.
Bad news is you need a new transmission. When the t-case locked up and it was towed in the output shaft on the transmission broke clean off.
So now I'm looking for a new 5spd tranny.
Just wondering if I can upgrade to a better tranny or whether I am stuck with the Mazda 5 spd?
Edit: Is it possible to just replace the output shaft?
