What causes transfer case to fail?

What causes transfer case to fail?

Typically, a transfer case will fail due to a low fluid level (caused by leaks), lack of maintenance, or regular wear from use. It’s important to address fluid leaks right away (as soon as you discover one) to prevent internal transfer case damage. Changing the transfer case fluid on a regular basis is also important.

Is the transfer case the same as the transmission?

Functions. The transfer case receives power from the transmission and sends it to both the front and rear axles, or just one (usually the rear.) Some vehicles, such as all-wheel-drive sports cars, have transfer cases that are not selectable. Such a transfer case is permanently “locked” into all-wheel-drive mode.

What happens if the transfer case goes out?

If the seals leak, fluid escapes and is no longer able to properly lubricate the interior components of the transfer case. Eventually the parts inside will wear out and overheat. If this happens, the transfer case will be rendered useless and the four-wheel drive operation will not work.
