Significant Technical Input
Re: AWD 2WHEEL DRIVE Mode Question

ya, with a burnt transfer clutch it would be better to drive in 2wd mode than awd mode that's for sure. Either way though driving on it will be putting the rest of the transmission in jeopardy. The transfer clutch retainer seal goes bad especially quickly when the transfer clutch is bad and turns into the most awesome substance for clocking fluid passages known to man. Aren't you reasonabley close to svxfiles? He could change that transfer clutch out for you pretty quickly assuming the rest of your transmission is good and you forewarn him so he can special order the clutch pack from the dealer.

Any problem with driving continously in 2wd until problem can be fixed? Whining coming from rebuilt tranny all the time.
