For vehicles that can switch back and forth between two-wheel and four-wheel drive, the transfer case is the central hub through which that process plays out.

Signs of Faulty or Failing Transfer Cases
There are several signs that your transfer case is either faulty or in the process of failing:
-
The gears have difficulty shifting – The transfer case is completely sealed to keep fluid within the unit. If it suffers damage that causes a leak, it will automatically lose fluid pressure, resulting in the driver experiencing difficulty shifting the gears.
-
Grinding noises – When the transfer case loses lubrication, a grinding noise comes from the bottom of your vehicle due to the metal-on-metal contact where the transfer case is located. Any grinding noise is terrible news for a vehicle, so visit Alberta Transmission Service immediately if you’re beginning to hear those ugly noises.
-
Going in and out of four-wheel drive – If your vehicle is going in and out of four-wheel drive when it is set on four-wheel drive, there’s undoubtedly an issue. It is often caused by damaged or broken transfer case parts directly applied to the four-wheel drive transfer process.
-
Involuntarily shifting out of gear – While not a common problem, a faulty transfer case can cause your vehicle to shift out of gear spontaneously. It is a hazardous situation that requires immediate attention.
