Part Description
This Grade A transfer case was removed from a 2011 Nissan Pathfinder with only 92,000 miles. The unit is designed for automatic transmission applications and does not have the AUTO feature on the transfer case switch. Our technicians have thoroughly inspected this transfer case and it is currently on the shelf ready for immediate shipment.
The transfer case is a critical component in 4WD vehicles that distributes power between the front and rear axles. Common reasons for replacement include internal gear wear, chain stretch, fluid leaks from seals, or damage from lack of maintenance. When your transfer case fails, you may experience grinding noises, difficulty shifting between 2WD and 4WD modes, or complete loss of 4WD functionality.
