All depends what shop you take it to or if your doing it yourself. I would say anywhere between $150-$350.

When I first got mine, the passenger light was filled with water.. blee half a dozen fuses before I realized that I refilled it every time I went through this water-retaining underpass.

Check your rear hatch, particularly the license plate light.

What transfer case? U have full and part time 4wd? If in part time i believe its gears in transfer case. DO NOT DRIVE AROUND DRY GROUND IN PART TIME!!! Makes an awful racket and yer gears hate it.

Found a little bit of fluid on the bottom of the t-case. Also smells a little warm. Should i be worried? How do u check level (never checked it or pumpkins yet)? Think it needs resealed?

Does anyone know a good website to get a new clockspring for my 99 sport? Local parts stores only seem to be able to get ones for WJ's.
