93 vr4 transfer case

I was on I95 on the way home 2 days ago. While i was going my car was riding real rough, steering wheel was vibrating, did it until i get to the stop light. when i started going through the gear box, the car started making bad sounds, like the driveshaft was dragging the road. the car drove bad, i got it home 50 mph for an hour. What does that sounds like? transfer case? transmission? the clutch was put in about 4 months ago, got about 2000 miles on it? I can get in it and shift the gears fine, but when im going through the gears, it just a horrible sound, and it takes a while to get up to speed?

Re: 93 vr4 transfer case

Are you getting a check engine light? Did you get your issue from last month resolved? Let's get the full story.

Re: 93 vr4 transfer case

Yes...last month my light was on, it was a bad fuel injector on the rear. I had all 6 og them replaced. Drove perfect for two weeks, then when i was on my way home, it got very rough. It felt like i was riding over rumble strips for about an hour. Then when i finally got to a stop light i went through the gears and it felt like and sounded like the driveshaft was dragging. Someone said something about a carrier bearing? if the transfer goes bad, what would the car do? its not locked up, but i have it parked bc i dont wont to mess it up worse... When the guy put my cluth in a while back, he said it took him forever to get the driveshaft out and then put it in was hard to??? any suggestions???

Re: 93 vr4 transfer case

Does sound like the carrier bearings/u-joints of the driveshaft. Might be time to look into getting a new driveshaft. If you are going to replace it, you may want to consider going with a lightweight 1 or 2 piece driveshaft. For the money it costs to replace it with a stock one, you might as well go with the lightweight. If you search 'driveshaft', 'u-joint', and 'carrier bearing' in here, you will find a few who have had the same problem. You may want to private message them to get their opinions/experience.

Re: 93 vr4 transfer case

My leather seats are bad now, well just the driver side? Are there any nice seat covers that just fits this car? Most I see are universal and crapy looking.
