Transfer Case Power Flow
• The transfer case is driven by the hollow drive gear shaft, which is connected to the
differential cage.
• The joint shaft, which drives the front right driveshaft, independently rotates inside the
drive gear shaft and is driven by the right differential bevel gear.
• The drive gear is fixed to the drive gear shaft and drives the ring gear shaft. The ring
