Transfer case 4MATIC general information 

The transfer case is integrated into the rear section of the 7-speed automatic transmission.

The single-speed lateral output with integrated universal joint (6) is a special feature.

The single-speed version, in comparison to a twin-stage lateral output used in the previous transfer case, means that a spur gear set incl. bearing is no longer required. This exerts a positive influence on drivetrain efficiency, weight and noise characteristics.

IMPORTANT In the event of a repair the transfer case cannot be replaced separately.

It has to be replaced along with the automatic transmission.
