Transfer Case Repair in Akron, Ohio
We Are Akron’s Transfer Case Specialists
The Role of the Transfer Case
The transfer case plays a big role in your vehicle’s performance. It’s responsible for splitting up the engine power and transferring it to your vehicle’s front and rear axles, allowing all four wheels to turn at the same speed. It features gears, bearings, flanges, shafts, and transfer case housing. Not all vehicles have a transfer case. However, only cars, SUVs, and trucks with all-wheel drive (AWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD) use a transfer case. It is usually located at the rear of the engine and helps improve overall stability, traction, and performance. Transfer cases are low-maintenance systems; the main service they will need is a fluid change. They can become compromised due to a lack of maintenance, regular wear and tear, or low fluid levels. If you drive with a bad transfer case, you risk damaging it beyond repair and possibly damaging your transmission drive shafts and axles. We won’t let it reach that point at Millennium Transmission & Auto Care in Akron, Ohio. We are equipped with the tools and knowledge to perform transfer case repair.
Signs of a Bad Transfer Case
The health of your transfer case largely relies on you. Transfer cases require minimal maintenance, which means they can go unnoticed for long periods. Luckily, transfer cases start to exhibit certain signs if they develop a problem. Common indicators of a bad transfer case include unusual sounds such as whining, grinding, or rattling (especially when turning), difficulty shifting gears or slipping gears, and a lack of engagement from 4WD. Other symptoms that may warrant transfer case repair include fluid leaks under the transfer case due to a worn or damaged seal and vibration or shaking while driving, which is often caused by worn bearings or damaged gears. If you notice any of these signs, having your vehicle inspected by one of our professional technicians is important to prevent further damage and costly repairs. Our auto shop’s transfer case repair specialists possess the skills and equipment to properly inspect, diagnose, and fix any transfer case problem you may encounter.
