How does a transfer case work with my differential?
As part of the front and/or rear axle assembly, the differential is designed to drive wheels while allowing them to rotate at different speeds when turning by providing proportional RPMs between the left and right wheels. The power from both the engine and transmission is directed through the differential and out to the wheels.
Where is the transfer case on a car?
The transfer case is located between the transmission and front and rear differentials via the driveshafts, creating a two-wheel drive (2WD) or four-wheel drive vehicle.
Where is the front output shaft located on a transfer case?
Determine which side of the vehicle the front output shaft is situated on. Some models of transfer cases come in right and left hand drive versions for the same vehicle line. (Figures 10, 11)
How to identify a 604 transfer case Assembly?
604 Transfer Case Assembly: Figure 12-13 28 GEARS March 2002 Figure 5 Output shaft spline count The output shaft must match the rear drive shaft. Type of yokeon the output shaft (slip yoke, bolt on yoke) Output Splines Type of flangeon front and rear output shafts (round flange or U Joint). This covers a broad area.
Where is the output seal on a transfer case?
The transfer case output shaft seal is located on the transfer case of four-wheel drive cars, trucks, and SUVs. The transfer case completes the activation between two-wheel drive neutral, to low four-wheel, and then to drive four-wheel. Inside the case are a series of gear reductions and chain drives that work together to accomplish their task
How does a transfer case work in a 4 wheel drive vehicle?
Transfer cases are found specifically on 4-wheel drive (4×4) vehicles like trucks and SUVs. 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.
How do you get parts for a transfer case?
Just enter your vehicle’s year, make and model into the drop down boxes provided, and you’ll only see the parts that will fit. That way, when you place your order, you know you’re getting exactly the part you need, no guesswork necessary. We carry Chevy transfer case parts, Jeep transmission components and so much more.
When to replace a transfer case output shaft?
From time to time, the seals that connect these components together can dry up, wear out, or break. If this occurs, they will have to be replaced by a certified mechanic sooner rather than later to avoid further damages to the vehicle’s drive system. What is the transfer case output shaft seal?
