What is a transfer case?

The design of your vehicle’s drivetrain is very important. The amount of power that is provided by your engine needs to be transferred to different areas of the vehicle in order to make it move. Your transfer case is located behind your transmission, and it connects to your front and rear drive shafts. With a series of gears and a chain drive system, it’s important that you have your transfer case inspected and serviced as needed.

Transfer cases can work along with a two wheel drive function and four wheel drive function. Power is split between your front axle and rear axle. The wheels will turn in unison. When something is malfunctioning with your transfer case, you will notice a grinding sound when changing gears or the inability to change gears properly.
