How do you know when your transfer case is about to go for the Evo X? I have a whine on my car on slight acceleration and decceleration. I've heard the videos on YouTube, but my car doesn't sound like those. I don't hear the sound increasing as my RPMs increase

If the whine continues even at higher rpms then that's it going out..if it goes away its normal

Oh okay, thanks O0 I was just getting paranoid from the sound. My whine doesn't get louder. Your friend has an Evo X?

Pretty much. Loud whining @ all RPM's especially @ Higher RPM's is a good indication that your TC is on its last limb, and is hating life as it knows it. :P

Do you still have warranty? Go get it checked out.


If you're hearing a LOUD whine under acceleration and deceleration...it most likely is going out. Did you abuse the car that it's already on it's way out?



*the warranty comment was sarcasm...we all know Evo's do not come with a warranty anymore*

It's not a loud whine at all, very faint. Â*I'm not sure how long it's been there because I usually listen to music while driving. Â*I have 0 launches on my car and have about 9300 miles.

Sorry for a double post, but if the transfer case leaks, will there be a light that appears on the dashboard? One last thing, if your transfer case is about to go out, if you put it into neutral, would the transfer case still continue making the whine, or would the whine disappear? I'm thinking that the TC would still continue making the whine, but I'm not too sure. Thanks in advance!

Winding/buzzing sound at high speed and down shifting. Car is practically brand new. And i though it was a just a clutch buzz. But then on the freeway on ramp and that shit was gone!

Dang that sucks man! Sorry to hear yours took a crap on you. I don't know if what I am hearing with my car is normal or not. I have bolt on's and a tune so if there is something wrong, most likely will be out of pocket lol. I've never launched and don't shift hard either etc so it would be really lame if mine gave out. Thanks for the information.

I just bought a used x off of someone on here. I just noticed some squealing that I noticed today. It seems to be coming from the rear diff area but I'm not sure. Im wondering if it could be the brakes but I can hear a slight noise even at idle. My car still has a warranty on it so if my mechanic can't figure it out I'll be taking it to the dealer. My car only has hks intercooler pipes,a arc front mount, and a hks intake so I hope they don't have a cow over that.

Have you check your fluid level on the transfer case?
