Tremec - Transfer Case

[DCPU]

Campaign on transfer case, and failed so new one ordered fitted and done.

Do you know what the differences are for the B suffix transfer cases?

On the subject of the Tremec transfer case, now I've done a few miles the shifting between low and high range is much easier .

Agreed, at 1,400 miles in mine it’s shifting really nicely hi to lo and back.

Do you know what the differences are for the B suffix transfer cases?

I would imagine it will be just done in batches, so a certain number of units for one letter then move on to the next so if anything was wrong they could narrow it down to batch F or batch K for instance. Thinking of the top of my head with this by the way, but think it makes sense.

I wouldn't worry about the numbers.

As Steve said, it is probably a batch control.

Also, it is almost certain that more and more changes and optimizations will be made over time.

The question, however, is whether such "optimizations" are desirable. They can be cost optimizations as well as technical optimizations. So you never know which is better, an older or a newer version. If they are cost optimizations, I don't necessarily want them in my equipment.

 

[DCPU]

I'm not worried, but interested.

If the batch thing is correct, then we should see more suffixes emerge.

I'm not worried, but interested.

I think so. It was more a general consideration.

I notice the Ineos logo on it

…. And Made in Mexico …. don’t know much about their automotive manufacturing quality… anyone got any views on that?

BMW make some of their cars in Mexico - 2 and 3 series and M2.

Lots of US manufacturers moved to Mexico over the last 50 years
Particularly cars, computers, electronics

Looks like Trump‘s fence didn’t stop manufacturers heading south of the border!

Without wanting to get political here is a good video/news report on the issue of building a wall.
I found the video and the amazing country scenery very interesting and non political

A 2,000-mile border journey

Could a wall be built? What would it do?\r\n Journalists from the USA TODAY NETWORK flew and drove the entire length of the U.S.-Mexico border in search for answers. This is what they found. A USA TODAY NETWORK video production.

Nice jab but they were already there.

Anything can be built well anywhere. It is all down to the QC processes and supervision of the parent company. If you just subcontract at a cheap price to a Chinese or Mexican (or any really) company and leave them to it, your chances of getting a quality product are not great. If you build in a proper manufacturing QC process and SOP and manage, inspect and audit you can get world class anywhere.

I know it may not be relevant to the transfer case discussion, but it speaks to Tremec. Tremec builds some really amazing manual and DCT transmissions for high output cars like the Mustang Shelby GT500 and the new Corvette.

The explanation I got was that on a batch of the cases the lubrication feed for low gear only may have been drilled at an incorrect angle. Faulty cases could be identified by driving in low gear for around 15 km as if there was an issue it would appear within 800m. Regardless, all cases in that batch are going to be changed when available whether they pass the test or not.

do you mean driving at 15Km/hr then the fault appears within 800m?

 

[Rab]

No, drive for 15 km, over stress test.

Make Mexico Great Again

No, drive for 15 km, over stress test.

Sorry... if I drive for around 15km then what's the 800m distance?
