I am having some rotational noise come from my transfer case. I also feel like there is excessive play from input all the way through to output that has a slight chatter/clunk as you rotate through. It isn't binding or catching, just noisy. I once had a similar case with 4.xx gears in it and it felt tighter and didn't have any clunking noises as I rotated the input shaft by hand.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for a good article on Sami Transfer cases with 6.5 gears? If not, got any rules of thumb for how noisy the gear set should be or how much play to expect? I am doing a bunch of long due routine maintenance (u-joints, tightening bolts, changing fluids, etc) so I am probably just going to get a bearing kit for the case and replace all of them too. I just want to know what to expect once I get it all back together. I'll get a video in a bit of the slop/play. The noise doesn't show up unless under load in 4wd. I spun it as fast as my hands would go and no noise outside of the vehicle.
