What is a differential transfer case?
The transfer case acts like a differential, but channels power to the two differentials on different axles rather than to two wheels on the same axle. As in a gearbox, a differential and transfer case require fluid to lubricate the gears, shafts and bearings where metal slides over metal.
Why do you need a transfer case for a differential?
A transfer case helps control the power being sent to each of the differentials, which in turn manage the power being sent out to each of the drive wheels. If the transfer case or either differential isn’t working properly, you won’t get proper performance out of your 4WD system. Differential and Transfer Case Repair & Maintenance
When do you need to replace a transfer case?
Like any automotive systems, differentials and transfer cases require servicing sometimes. The gear oil can get corroded or dirty, so it may need to be replaced. Seals and other key components should be inspected periodically and cleaned/replaced as needed.
How does a transfer case work in a transmission?
They work in unison with the transmission and the front and rear differentials. A transfer case helps control the power being sent to each of the differentials, which in turn manage the power being sent out to each of the drive wheels.
Why do you need to change transfer case fluid?
Continued use of old transfer case fluid will result in transfer case bearing, planetary gear, synchronizer ring, sleeve, disc pack, gear pulley and chains wear and possible failure. Therefore, having regular transfer case fluid changes is important.
When to replace a differential or transfer case?
The gear oil can get corroded or dirty, so it may need to be replaced. Seals and other key components should be inspected periodically and cleaned/replaced as needed. If there are major internal problems within a differential or transfer case, then you will typically have repair options.
They work in unison with the transmission and the front and rear differentials. A transfer case helps control the power being sent to each of the differentials, which in turn manage the power being sent out to each of the drive wheels.
