In general, is there a common mileage at which transfer cases start to have problems and what are the problems? I'm considering replacing my cracked transfer case with 126k miles with a transfer case with 183k miles. If it's worth installing, what components should I replace before installing?

Hi guys, my e46 320i manual has had a terrible lurch when coming off and on the throttle. It’s worse in low gears but still there a bit in 4th and 5th. I also find that when trying to crawl forward in 1st gear, the car quite violently bounces forward and back when you so much as even touch the...
