I will use BMW DTF/TF0870 for transfer case.

So my biggest problem still standing is my surging idle on cold startup and sometimes when warm at stop signs and such. Im sure the bad idle is causing rough shifting sometimes.

Just another fyi to anyone who cares... I also got caught up in fixing the leaking windshield washer fluid reservoir. Cheap fix but sort of a pain to get at and find the leak. Procedure on newtis and some other threads.
The guy before me swapped the grommets, but the leaks were from the slits in the side of the motor itself. Guess that explains the rotton wiper blades lol.

And as far as my soundproofing, I figured if I couldnt stop the tick, I would try to muffle it. lol
