Transfer Case Repair in Rowlett, TX



At Eagle Transmission & Auto Repair in Rowlett, TX, we know how important a healthy transfer case is for your vehicle’s performance. If you drive an all-wheel drive (AWD) or four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicle, your transfer case works hard to send power to the front and rear wheels. When it’s not working properly, you can face poor handling, strange noises, or even complete loss of power to the wheels.

Our ASE-certified technicians are trained to diagnose and repair transfer cases on all makes and models — from trucks and SUVs to AWD cars.

What is a Transfer Case?

A transfer case is a gearbox that sends power from your transmission to both the front and rear axles. It’s essential for AWD and 4WD systems and helps your vehicle maintain traction on different road surfaces.

Over time, parts inside the transfer case can wear down, seals can leak, and gears can fail — especially if maintenance is skipped.

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


Our Transfer Case Repair Process

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.


Common Transfer Case Repairs We Perform

  • Seal and gasket replacement to stop leaks
  • Bearing and chain replacement for smoother operation
  • Shift motor repair or replacement for electronic AWD/4WD engagement
  • Fluid changes to protect gears and prevent wear
  • Full transfer case rebuilds when damage is severe


Importance of Transfer Case Maintenance

Regular fluid changes are the best way to extend the life of your transfer case. Fresh fluid keeps internal parts lubricated, reduces heat, and prevents corrosion. Neglecting this maintenance can lead to costly repairs.

We recommend having your transfer case fluid checked every 30,000 miles or as advised by your manufacturer.
