“New” transfer casings are only found in new vehicles coming off the production line. From the case made of metal and gears, every part is made from scratch or extruded through the seals and springs. Or, if the client prefers, made.
The car manufacturers do not distribute or sell the “new” transfer case. Other transfer cases available are either rebuilt or used, or manufactured. Even if the client has got the transfer case replaced within warranty by a dealer, it is a remanufactured transfer case
.
How do I find a Remanufactured 4WD Transfer Casing?
A remanufactured transfer case is a 4WD or AWD case that is disassembled and reassembled in the assembly line. Every component is examined, then cleaned, reconditioned, and reassembled by a technician skilled in the specific stage of the procedure.
Every component is tested to ensure that they comply with the original equipment (OE) tolerances and standards. Any component that isn’t meeting the original specifications is manufactured until it does and then replaced by a new piece.
What is the price of a remanufactured Transfer Case Price?
A remanufactured Transfer Case is priced based on the model and make of the vehicle the client is driving. The cost of labor needed to set it up is added to the cost of the product and can range from $400-$800. Transfer cases are available via Autozone as well as Advance Auto Parts.
Remanufacturing Process: What’s involved?
Disassembly
When a “core” (i.e., utilized) transfer case arrives at the facility for remanufacturing, it is categorized and disassembled. Every part is recorded.
Cleaning
After all internal components are cataloged and categorized, any old gasket pieces are removed, and other parts such as shafts, shafts, and gears are cleaned in the high-pressure washer for parts.
Inspection
After all, gunk has been removed; the components are examined for cracks, flaws, and conformity with OE tolerances. The parts that do not make the quality are either machined back to factory specifications or substituted.
Replacing Parts and Reassembly
Every component that isn’t in line with requirements is replaced at the production line with all gaskets, seals, and O-rings. Electronic components such as solenoids, control units, and other units are examined and repaired. Updates and new components are then installed, and the transmission case gets rebuilt with the correct OEM specifications for torque and fasteners.
Conclusion
Remanufactured transfer cases are made in a factory assembled on the assembly line. Technicians are trained in particular areas, and every transfer case undergoes numerous quality inspections during the remanufacturing process. This guarantees a better quality product and a longer service duration.
A rebuilt case for transfer is meticulously disassembled, cleaned, and surfaces are machined according to factory specifications, new parts are put in place, and an entire set of components is replaced. A rebuilt transfer case only receives new components when the original one is worn out.
Suppose a repair or mechanic shop repairs a transfer case. The case is typically tested following its installation. In contrast, remanufactured transfer cases are put through stringent tests before leaving the factory. Testers for valve bodies and Dyno are made to identify issues before hitting the road. The client won’t need to take the client’s vehicle to the mechanic because “something isn’t right”.
