Differential & Transfer Case Service

Differential & Transfer Case Servicing

Let’s start with the basics. Transmissions, Differentials and Transfer Cases perform similar tasks:

• The transmission adapts the engine output to suitable speed and torque to be transferred to the wheels.

• The differential channels that power to the two wheels on the same axle at an appropriate ratio. This is because when the vehicle turns, the outside wheel takes a slightly longer path than the inside one, so it has to run that little faster. The differential sits between the wheels, where the drive shaft connects with the axle. Depending on whether your vehicle is front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, the differential is on the front, rear or both axles.

• The Transfer Case acts like a differential, but channels power to the two differentials on different axles rather than to two wheels on the same axle because, in addition to differentials, four-wheel drive cars have a transfer case.

Both a differential and transfer case require fluid to lubricate the internal component parts where metal slides over metal. The fluid also transmits heat away from the working surfaces. However, as time goes by, the fluid tends to become dirty or can even be contaminated by water, losing its ability to do its job effectively.

It is super important to maintain your differential or transfer case in good working order. A differential or transfer case rarely gives cause for concern in most modern cars, as long as they’re serviced regularly. Servicing requires only a small fraction of the cost of rebuilding or replacing a differential. Our technicians are trained to identify any issues with your transfer case and provide the necessary repairs or replacements to get your Euro Car back on the road in no time.
