Part Description
This used OEM transfer case was removed from a 2005 Honda Element with all-wheel drive and manual transmission. The part has been thoroughly inspected by our experienced technicians and is currently on the shelf ready to ship. This transfer case is designed specifically for Honda Element models equipped with AWD and manual transmission systems.
The transfer case is a critical component in all-wheel drive vehicles, distributing power between the front and rear axles to provide optimal traction and handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this transfer case fit my 2005 Honda Element with automatic transmission?
No, this transfer case is specifically for manual transmission AWD models only. Automatic transmission models use a different transfer case design and are not interchangeable.
How do I know if my Honda Element transfer case needs replacement?
Common symptoms include grinding noises when AWD engages, failure of AWD system to activate, vibration during acceleration, or fluid leaks under the vehicle near the center of the car.
What’s included with this Honda Element transfer case?
This listing includes the complete transfer case assembly as removed from the donor vehicle. Mounting hardware, fluids, and installation gaskets are not included and should be purchased separately.
Is this transfer case compatible with other Honda models?
This transfer case is designed specifically for Honda Element models. While some internal components may be similar to other Honda AWD systems, the complete assembly is Element-specific.
What maintenance does a Honda Element transfer case require?
Regular fluid changes every 30,000-60,000 miles help extend transfer case life. Use only Honda-specified transfer case fluid and check for leaks during routine maintenance.
Can I install this transfer case myself?
Transfer case replacement requires lifting the vehicle, supporting the transmission, and disconnecting driveshafts. This job requires mechanical experience, proper tools, and safety equipment – professional installation is recommended.
