I put it back together today after a long drug out Tcase chain replacement. Ordering a late model DS, then nearly getting scammed on a second driveshaft, and waiting to get my new spline piece welded to my old driveshaft ended up taking a week and half. But I got it all put back in and took the X5 for a spin. No more chain popping and no worries about stripping the driveshaft. Ready for snow.

I also replaced the Tcase carrier mount (it also serves as the trans mount). I filled the voids with urethane and it really helped shifter feel. The old one appeared to be original and saturated in oil thanks to a leaky shift rod selector seal.
