Transfer Case Service Mesa AZ

Perhaps one of the easiest ways to understand just what is at stake when it comes to your transfer case is to understand what it does. Because the transfer case is directly connected to your transmission, it is important to keep both of these systems in excellent condition.

Essentially, the transfer case is what ensures that your front and rear axles are spinning together. Especially when towing a load, it is not difficult to understand why this is so important. The interesting thing is that despite the importance of this component it rarely gets the attention it deserves.

There are two ways that the transfer case can be built; the most common is with a chain connecting the gears between axles, and the other achieves the transference using gears only. No matter how your vehicle gets the job done, the most important thing to remember in caring for your transfer case is to avoid overheating.

Especially with a chain driven transfer case, an overheat can be the high road to experiencing serious issues. Because a chain can actually stretch when subjected to high temperature, keeping the proper levels of fluid in the transfer case should be your fundamental concern to keeping it healthy.

In most cases, replacing the fluid in your transfer case every 50 thousand miles is the best way to make sure that it remains in excellent condition. Keeping a sharp eye out for leaks is another way to make sure you get the most life from your transfer case. Because the lubricant it uses is more viscous than engine oil, even a small leak can spell serious trouble. This is why transfer case leak repairs should be conducted as quickly as possible.
