Review on 🏠 Dorman 917-561 Transfer Case Housing: Stylish & Durable Black Casing by Josh Elkins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well for spares

Item fits and looks well put together. Driven over 1000 km, everything holds up. I recommend installing the drain plug with Permatex high temperature thread sealant and letting it set for two days. Then when it is back on the machine and you fill it with Auto Trak II fluid, allow it to flow through the fill plug as much as possible and then seal the fill plug with the same sealant. Let it dry for a day or two. I haven't had any plugs yet so they seem to be working. I sealed the case halves with Permatex Gray gear oil. In addition, the speed sensors stand up quite normally, do not rub against the brake wheels. I called Dorman and they confirmed the issue had been fixed many years ago.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Packaging is ugly
