    Looking for help - Tcase Blew Up

    Basically i never drive it far normally, I took a friend to NJ and turned around for home... I think this has been a long term problem... but what we think happened is a small hole in tcase, fluid only drained when driving (not parked, so was hard to spot), after it ran out, and overheated, blew up.
