Jeep® Service 101: Transfer Case Maintenance

Whether you love exploring new paths or prefer adventuring closer to home, routine Jeep® service will help keep your vehicle safe on every ride. That’s why our Brooklyn Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM service team provides affordable and reliable service and car care support for everyone. It’s also why we share top tricks and tips for maintaining essential parts like your Jeep transfer case.

Fluid Change

The transfer case in your Jeep vehicle helps the car run by equally distributing power to the drive shafts or all four wheels, depending on your configuration. While most transfer cases use transmission fluid to function, a few different types of fluids can be found in transfer cases. You’ll want to make sure that these fluids are changed regularly so the transfer case can continue operating at full capacity.

It’s important to note that different types of vehicles have different transfer cases. The time between flushes and fluid changes will vary depending on the fluid used and where you do most of your driving. If you’re off-roading or towing often, you’ll want to change the fluid more regularly.

Inspections and Repairs

Many parts and systems are involved in the transfer case’s function, and those parts can be taxed during challenging driving or extreme conditions. When you get the fluid flushed and replaced, you’ll also want to get the transfer case inspected. When you visit Brooklyn Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM, we will look for signs of cracking or damage to the transfer case on your Jeep SUV and make any necessary repairs or replacements for safe and reliable driving.
