My transfer clutch broke, and nobody would have been the wiser if it hadn't been for being able to light up the front tires from a stoplight. The clutch just snapped right off the shaft. Aside from not having AWD, it worked just fine - absolutely no binding at all. None. Not even when I wanted it. 
The easy way to check for a broken transfer clutch basket is to pull speed sensor number two and check for metal shavings. (As per the picture in my locker.) If you want to tear it all apart anyway, go for it. I just want to make sure you know the problem I had wasn’t a binding problem.
...and I totally understand the Jack The Ripper thing.  I do that to everything I own, regardless of whether it's working or not.

Yeah me too when I can.
Jack the Ripper, body bags and zippers.
I'm getting that grumbling grinding sounds when I turn the steering wheel and apply throttle. Figure the transfer clutch was having a problem. Took it to a Subaru dealership and they told me that it was the AWD clutches and that I would need a clutch pack. So I'm assuming it's the same thing. The bastards parts dude wouldn't give me the part number for me to see what it was. The cool service manager called the parts guy and asked for the part #. The parts guy told him to flock off so they didn't charge me for the inspection!
Meh, I'll just take it apart and see what's up...hope I can put it back together..
<Flashback to 5 years old taking the VCR apart and not being able to put it back together.>
Did I get an arse beating then.
BTW-are you Roo on Nasioc?
