Transfer Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Suzuki SX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The transfer is mounted on transaxle case by fastening bolt with reduction drive gear in transfer and differential case in transaxle coupled by involute spline. Driving force from transaxle is transmitted to propeller shaft through reduction drive gear, reduction driven gear and bevel gear of transfer. As bevel gears, which change the direction of driving torque axis to the direction of the angle with 90 degrees, hypoid gears are provided. Hypoid gears have an advantage of preventing gear noise, at the same time, they require accurate adjustment of tooth contact and backlash.
