Four-Wheel Drive Models

The transfer case, located at the rear of the transmission, is responsible for transferring engine torque to the front and rear wheels on vehicles equipped with four-wheel drive. The transfer case contains an input gear, countershaft and counter gear, rear output shaft, low output gear and a front output shaft (for front drive) connected and driven by a drive chain.

The transfer case gearshift control lever can be placed in four positions: "4H" (direct connection with the input gear, counter gear and low output gear). "N" (by way of the reduction clutch sleeve located between the input gear and the low output gear) and "2H" (high speed to the rear wheels only). The front drive shift fork mechanism also has an auxiliary spring to ensure a smooth shift from "4H" to "2H".
