    AWD driver transfer case question

    I posted this in AWD also...

    Ok, so I made some more changes to my car...I added a stall converter and had my car tuned at SVS. I took the car out last night for the first time. First pass I just launched it some what easy and turned a 12.07 @ 110.00. Last pass I loaded up the converter, and lauched it hard. All 4 whees spun longer then they ever had before, the esp light flashed, the front wheels stopped spinning and ther rear went up in smoke for about 10 car lengths. No noises, no fluid on the ground, no indication that the transfer case broke. Went out and did a couple of launches and the front wheels are grabbing again.....anyone heard of the the computer being able to dis-engage the front drive in the transfer case?

Your spinning the front shaft bearings or shaving the gears. No noises, no fluid on the ground, no indication that the transfer case broke. Went out and did a couple of launches and the front wheels are grabbing again.....anyone heard of the the computer being able to dis-engage the front drive in the transfer case?
    No such thing ... pure mechanical.

    Sorry I think your about to blow your Tcase. Been there done that. I'd drain the tcase fluid....bet there are shavings in it. The first way you launched is the way to launch a AWD.

    He says the ESP light flashed. ESP will exercise some control. I could envision that the front wheels were spinning and then controlled by the ESP enough to let the rears continue to spin. If the front brakes were applied by ESP, the torque would have to transfer to the rear wheels. This is a theory, not a definitive explanation.
