Agreed.
Even if the price is a few grand, add in labour, and that's still cheaper than a $tealership replacement.

Even then... I would need to see proof that it's a heck of a lot more durable before I spend a couple grand on it. Hell... you could do that, have the transmission still crap out on you, then you'll be out even more money.
Be lucky... at least you don't have to pay $16k for a new transmission like the BMW 335's.

TransferCase Fluid Change/Level Check
You will need a level ground & all four on jack stands or a lift.
Also a pump to pump the fluid in.

Guys, hope you don't mind me ressuscitating this thread.
I've read most of the links here (except for all the internals of the SST) and have learned a lot from this whole forum.
I have a question... For racing purposes, is it better to turn off the ASC? What do you guys think?
Thanks!

Once you get at a level beyond an absolute beginner on the track, ASC should be turned off for lapping on a dry track. You may wish to leave it on if you do track days in heavy rain.

Thanks for the answer! Why is that? Because the car might cut the acceleration?
Thanks!

The Answer is yes!
You can have your foot to the floor and may need to stay on the gas pedal to complete a maneuver like getting the hell out of the way of someone who has lost control. But as soon as the wheel sensors detect spin or slide your gas pedal goes dead leaving you in a potentially dangerous situation until such time as it thinks you have regained traction.
