    What a weekend :help: I thought originally that my clutch had gone completely bad with the symptoms I was having, so I got a clutch kit and lowered the tranny to replace the clutch. Looked at the clutch and it was fine.... hours and hours later after tearing the transmission open only to find out that it is in good shape, I opened up the transfer case. It looked like someone threw a hand grenade in the the transfer case with the amount of metal shavings that was attached to the magnet near the oil pump inside. After total disassembly of the transfer case the planetary gear and everything that it touches was destroyed. I can't seem to find a transfer case to replace anywhere and was hoping that someone can point me in the right direction, and yes tried all the u-pulls within 60 miles and ebay. Thanks for the input badass taco dudes! :oldglory:

    Next, try the non-upull yards, then Craigslist.

    Call this place and see if they can help:

    http://www.wncautoparts.com/

    Less than 10% of what they have is listed on their website.

    They specialize in used Tacoma parts. I have yet to find a part that they don't have, and I've gotten tons of parts from them. I'll bet they could build 10 Tacos from the parts they have on hand. Super nice folks as well.
