My Suzuki Vitara 97's 4wd gear got locked in neutral a few days ago. My mechanic said some of the hubs, forks, and wheels in the transfer case were broken.
So I purchased a transfer case from automan at koswatta for a reasonable price. The mechanic said the new transfer case looks good and he will have the gearbox repaired in a few days.
He is now telling me that I need a new joint pole with a 'fatter glue' which comes with 16 threads to fit the new transfer case.
My old joint pole has a 'thin glue' with 24 threads, but it doesn't fit the new transfer case.
If you guys can help me out with this or help me to find a place where they sell joint poles for my vitara, I would be indebted to you forever. I'm looking for a place where I can buy a joint pole with a fatter glue & 16 threads or basically another solution to this.
Thank you so much! I appreciate all your help and feedback. I have posted some pictures below of my old joint pole and transfer case.
Officially joined the thel-hinganna normie horde with ....drumroll... a 2025 Vezel... I am eagerly anticipating joining the 'thel keeyak karanawada' debates at almsgivings.
Recently, got the opportunity to see and get inside of The one and only Japanese V12, Toyota Century(a.k.a Japanese Rolls Royce). Is it really upto Rolls Royce standards? Nope, I don't think so. Items like Switches and mirror housings are in plastic. But, we can be assured that the dashboard will not light up like Christmas and would run forever....
...and just like that from having parking space issues a few month's back I'm car-less.
The cost of renting something for a month or two (even more - personal imports have been quite messy of late) made me wonder if it actually makes sense to buy a quickly disposable car and get rid of it in a couple of months - but it seems the 'popular' models aren't moving. A few messages to sellers (registered owners) on marketplace resulted in them sending me daily price reduction updates.
Sleepless nights have begun. I'm twisting between SL320 and SL500. Should I just pay additional 2000 euros more and go for the SL500 and go broke or settle with a SL320?
