I dropped my civic trans on my chest when changing the clutch using a regular jack. I recommend getting a trans jack. It has much more surface area and can roll as you pull away. I think it was a harbor freight and it works great. Also where is the second half of this project? I can’t find it.
Hello, thanks for the video. I have gear oil leak between the transfer case and the automatic transmission. I think it is the front input shaft seal. Do you think I need to completely open up the transfer case to replace the seal? Thank you.
thank you for taking the time to do this video . I was able to take of the transfer case actuator without take that gear out .Did I ruin it the shaft moves a bout an inch in and out .try ing to figure out if I have to take the transfer case out thanks
Did you find that dropping the cross member helped out at all, or if you were doing it again would you just leave that in place? Thanks for the great video series!
Something reassuring about knowing that someone else someplace is about to be tackling this project at the same time as I am! It seemed to me like that's optional but may be worthwhile...hoping @theotherguy will chime in to answer our question. I love his videos; he also seems very responsive and honest in the reply section.
Going to try it tomorrow. I'll get back to you about how it all goes. Just found a descent replacement transfer case at the wreckers, but of course now the T. Case that's in the truck seems to be working fine. Still, too many questions about reliability of the original, I'm going to have to swap it out.
Hey guys I just finished up putting the new transfer case in. I was able to do the job without removing the transmission crossmember. There is one bolt on the bottom of the transfer case housing that will not come out all the way with the crossmember still in place. I was able to work around it by slowly working the transfer case out a half inch at a time (supporting it with a jack stand and a buddy to control the angle better) then unthreading the bolt accordingly. That bolt never came out of the hole in the transmission. It was the opposite for installation. Starting with the captured bolt, slowly push the transfer case back on bit by bit and thread the bolt as it advances. I know it sounds like a pain, but it went more smoothly than expected. For me removing the cross member bolts would have been more difficult with the years of winter road salt basically rust welding those bolts in place. Everything seems to be working well after a quick test drive. I would have never attempted this job without seeing this video first. A huge THANK YOU to TheOtherGuy! It was a full days job for me and a few bloody knuckles, but damn it feels good to do the job myself!
in separating the transfer case from the adapter housing do the splines on the input on transfer case have to match precisely with output shaft splines. do they have to go back together exactly as they came apart?
I have a leak from the O ring seal the one on the Actuator , sequoia 2004 it's the same Actuator , but I can't find the part number of the O ring seal anywhere , any help on that or a solution I don't know about , I'm not a mechanic ?
Please help me out! My 2006 Tacoma was (still is) stuck in 4HI and my switch does nothing. I pulled my transfer case actuator off because I wanted to hammer that rod in to put my truck in 2wd like you explain in your other videos. However, when I hit it with a mallet, it doesn’t go all the way in to 2HI (same thing that you call neutral). I can’t pull it out to put it in 4lo either. It seems stuck. Do the second generation Tacoma’s have something that locks that rod in place? If so, how can I put my truck in 2wd? Would I need a new actuator? Get inside the transfer case? Opening the transfer case sounds like too much for me. Please reach out and help, thanks so much!
I am not familiar with the second Tacoma as, the tc is different from the 1st gen taco and mine. You may need to have a certified mechanic look at your truck.
@@theotherguy3083 does it worth buying a tundra like mine 2010 with a bad transfer case There is a guy that is selling a truck to Me cheap I would say 5k less than what it actually worth
@@theotherguy3083 thank you the guy i got the truck from took tranny out and left it in a box i got onther tranny but i dont now were the wires go or the bolts go do you think i should change the seals and how do you now if they are no good
My T-Case just went out. Want you to know that your video is a major help as I am replacing it myself. Thank you!
Glad I can be of service
Coming at you from 2024
Thank you for the video!
Can't laugh at someone who is willing to do it themselves. Looking forward to part 2. 👍
Thanks a LOT! Helped a friend from Brazil
Thank you. The job looks doable to me now.

I agree. But this thing is so light. That's why I did it this way
Nice job bud keep ip the good work

If it is coming from the where the TC is, yes.
Great work and video quality.
Thanks man loved the video!!!
Good work man. Thanks for sharing.
I like his statement in the first couple minutes this is not a how to this is a vlog

How is that even possible? I fear you may have ruined the gears inside your actuator instead.
@@theotherguy3083 the gear inside just turned and the motor came out easily no struggle or hard pulling
@@normanpoulin4660 ok. In my mind, I just don't see how that is possible

i was just wondering the same exact thing

If you are asking about the splines, no.
@@theotherguy3083 I was. and thank you. I didnt think so but thought I would ask. Thanks!!
You’re right in not trusting mechanics

Take it to Toyota and show the leasing unit to them
Did you have to put transmission in neutral and transfer case in neutral to begin?
How long did this take
@joshuarhodes9022 if u watch the video you would know it's about a days work
I did watch it but I couldn't tell u how long it took
Do u need more then just the one rubber seal
@joshuarhodes9022 whatever you see is what I needed
Ok buddy thank u

Is it possible to send me pictures of that plug that goes to the transfer case
Also to the one for the vehicle speed sensor
WOt? Thats Pretty helpful.
Hello how much does it cost to replace a transfer case of a tundra 2010
Do you have any idea?

Hi, does the shaft seal have to be replaced and if so does anyone know the part number? Thank you
Yes. Replace shaft seal. See part 2

Not a good idea to pry in there with a screwdriver.
