Description
Part Description
This OEM transfer case assembly was removed from a 2006 Honda Ridgeline equipped with the 3.5L V6 engine and automatic transmission. The unit has been thoroughly inspected by our certified technicians and is currently on the shelf ready for immediate shipment. This genuine Honda transfer case maintains all original specifications and mounting points.
The transfer case is a critical component in Honda’s Variable Torque Management (VTM-4) all-wheel drive system, distributing power between the front and rear axles as needed. Common replacement reasons include internal gear wear, bearing failure, fluid leaks from seals, or damage from lack of maintenance. When the transfer case fails, drivers typically experience grinding noises, difficulty shifting into AWD mode, or complete loss of rear-wheel power distribution.
