I need a manual or drawings for the Transfer case. Mine seized up and I found out it was a JDM switchable, all-alum. unit, so I want to try and swap guts from a different T-case. Anybody have anything?

The factory service manual has a section on rebuilding the T-case. If you don't have a service manual, now is a good time to invest in one.
The manualcd would also have most of the info you need.

The one problem you may have is that the switching components will not be covered in either of the above. This may not be a big problem though assuming that you can reuse the old parts. I'd take apart the old one first and take stock of what is broken/reuseable.

Basically, you will be trying to swap in a gearset. If the shafts or switching parts are broken, it's toast. I think those parts will be available in Japan only.

Thanks Rob, I have given up on the switchable T-case. I bought a regular one and it's in the car, which is running again. Now I'm not sure what to do about the recall?

The problem is usually the rear driveshaft yoke at the Tcase. It develops a leak over time where there is a pressed-in plug.

Now that the car is running the dealer will probably say "screw you". If it is still leaking, the only way you'll be able to prove it is to put some dye into the TCase fluid and then show them that it's still leaking. It's a painful process. You could try Eastway Chrysler though, at least Adam Clay might be on your side.

Remeber there is an updated yoke. The dealers sometimes 'forget' to mention that.

I'm going to call the dealer tomorrow and tell them they screwed up, then call Chrysler canada and tell them the story. I'm not going to mention that I fixed it. I want to see how they're going to weasel their way out of this one.
