Description
Part Description
This Grade A transfer case was removed from a 2014 Ford Explorer with only 62,000 miles. Designed for 3.7L engines with oil cooler and automatic transmission in AWD configurations, this unit has been thoroughly inspected and is shelf-ready for immediate shipping. The low-mileage donor vehicle ensures reliable performance and longevity.
The transfer case is a critical component in AWD systems, distributing power between front and rear axles to provide optimal traction and handling. Common replacement reasons include internal gear wear, chain stretch, fluid leaks, or bearing failure that can cause grinding noises, vibration, or loss of AWD functionality. A failing transfer case can leave you stuck in 2WD mode or cause expensive damage to other drivetrain components.
