Transfer Cases

Transfer cases , also known as transfer cases, are key components in the drivetrain of four-wheel drive (4x4) or all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicles. Their job is to distribute torque between the front and rear axles, providing better traction, stability, and efficiency when driving on a variety of road and terrain conditions. At Global Parts, you will find a wide selection of used car parts , including transfer cases fitted to BMW , Audi , Mercedes, Volkswagen , Mini and others.

How do transfer cases work?

Transfer cases are advanced mechanical devices that work with the drive system to provide:

• Torque Splitting – Transfers engine power to the front and rear axles, ensuring even drive distribution.
• Drive mode change – Allows you to switch between two-wheel drive (2WD) and four-wheel drive (4WD/AWD), depending on your needs and road conditions.
• Downshifting – In off-road vehicles, transfer cases can downshift to increase driving force when driving over rough terrain.
• Axle synchronization – Ensures even wheel rotation on the front and rear axles, which improves vehicle stability and control.

Transfer cases work with other drive system components such as drive shafts, final drives and axles.

Why is it worth taking care of transfer cases?

Faulty or damaged transfer cases can lead to serious driveline problems, such as:

• Lack of drive on one axle – This may limit the vehicle’s ability to drive in difficult conditions.
• Jerking and noises – Indicate gear wear or mechanical damage.
• Overheating – Resulting from lack of adequate lubrication or contamination in the system.

At Global Parts we offer genuine used transfer cases that have passed rigorous quality testing, ensuring reliability and durability.

How to choose the right transfer case?

When choosing a transfer case, there are several key aspects to consider:

• Matching to the vehicle model – Each drive system has its own specific technical requirements. At Global Parts you will find transfer cases perfectly matched to BMW , Audi , Mercedes, Volkswagen , Mini and others.
• Technical condition – The used transfer case should be free from mechanical damage and have functional transmission components.
• Drive Type – Make sure your transfer case is compatible with your vehicle’s 4WD, AWD or other drive system.

Why choose used transfer cases?

Used car parts , such as transfer cases, are an economical solution that allows you to save money while maintaining high quality. By choosing used transfer cases , you gain:

• Lower costs – Used components are much cheaper than new ones, but offer equally high quality.
• Ecology – Recycling car parts supports environmental protection and reduces waste.
• Wide range – In our shop you will find transfer cases for the most popular car brands.

How to take care of the transfer case?

In order for the transfer case to function reliably for a long time, it is worth following a few rules:

• Check the transfer case oil level and quality regularly to ensure adequate lubrication.
• Monitor any noises and jerking during gearbox operation – they may be a sign of wear of mechanical components.
• If riding off-road, make sure the reduction gears are working properly.

If you need to replace your transfer case, Global Parts has the right used car parts to restore full functionality to your drivetrain.
