Transfer Case Repair in Rowlett, TX


Here at Eagle Transmission & Auto Repair in Rowlett, TX, we are well aware of how crucial a solid transfer case is to the performance of your car or truck. If you have an all-wheel drive (AWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD), your transfer case effectively powers both the front and rear wheels. When it isn’t functioning as designed, you could experience poor handling, funny noises or even inoperability from the wheels.

At ABC Auto Care, every one of our technicians is an experienced and certified transfer case repair expert.

What is a Transfer Case?

Your transfer case is a gearbox that transmits power from your transmission to both the front and rear axles. It is critical in AWD and 4WD systems, and aids your vehicle in keeping its grip on varying road surfaces.

As time goes on, parts inside the transfer case can wear out, seals can leak and gears can fail — particularly if regular maintenance is neglected.

Signs Your Transfer Case Needs Repair

Call us for a diagnostic if you notice:

  • Difficulty switching between 2WD and 4WD
  • Grinding, whining, or clunking noises when driving
  • Fluid leaks under your vehicle
  • Jerking or hesitation during acceleration
  • Dashboard warning lights for the AWD/4WD system

When you bring your vehicle to our Rowlett shop, we:

  1. Inspect and Test – We check the transfer case, fluid condition, and related drivetrain components.
  2. Computer Scan – We read any stored error codes for your 4WD or AWD system.
  3. Diagnosis – We identify whether the problem is with the transfer case itself or related parts like the driveshaft or axles.
  4. Repair or Replace – Depending on the condition, we repair worn components or install a quality replacement unit.

Importance of Transfer Case Maintenance

Importance of Transfer Case Maintenance

The transfer case in your vehicle takes a lot of abuse, and is something that seldom, if ever, enters you mind while driving. New fluid helps keep internal components lubricated, reduces heat, and prevents corrosion. You will face expensive repairs if you don't do this upkeep.

We suggest that you have your transfer case fluid inspected every 30,000 miles or on a routine basis as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
