2. Test for a faulty viscous coupling. Refer to Transfer Case Viscous Coupling Test .
3. Disassemble the transfer case. Refer to Transfer Case Disassemble in Transfer Case - NVG 149-NP3 Unit Repair.
4. Inspect the viscous coupling for a bulged cover. Refer to Transfer Case Cleaning and Inspection in Transfer Case - NVG 149-NP3 Unit Repair.
5. Replace the viscous coupling if faulty. Refer to Transfer Case Assemble in Transfer Case - NVG 149-NP3 Unit Repair.

Planetary carrier faulty

1. Disassemble the transfer case. Refer to Transfer Case Disassemble in Transfer Case - NVG 149-NP3 Unit Repair.
2. Inspect for faulty planetary carrier components. Refer to Transfer Case Cleaning and Inspection in Transfer Case - NVG 149-NP3 Unit Repair.
3. Replace any faulty planetary carrier components. Refer to Transfer Case Assemble in Transfer Case - NVG 149-NP3 Unit Repair.
