Front and Rear Speed Sensors





The sensors are built in the transfer case, and detect the rotation of rotors directly coupled to the propeller shafts. Thirty rectangular pulses are output per one rotation of the propeller shaft.

Electromagnetic Coil





Receives the duty signals from the TOD control unit and controls the pressing force of the clutch pressure cam.

Multi Plate Disk Clutch Pack





Transmits the torque determined by the clutch pressing force to the front propeller shaft via the front drive chain.

Mechanical Lock Sleeve





Couples the front and rear propeller shaft mechanically when the transfer shaft is in the 4L position.

High-Low Planetary Gear Set





Establishes an auxiliary transmission mechanism. When the transfer shift lever is set to the 2H or TOD position, the reduction gear ratio is 1.000 and the corresponding driving force is generated. When the transfer shift lever is set to the 4L position, the reduction gear ratio is 2.480 and the corresponding driving force is generated.

4H and 4L Switches





Detects the shift position of the transfer from the movement of the transfer lever and outputs signals to the TOD control unit.

Transfer Connector





Transmits the input and output signals of the speed sensors, electromagnetic coil, and 4H and 4L switches to the vehicle harness. A waterproof 12-pin type is used.
