Used Ford Transfer Case

When your Ford’s transfer case goes bad, the price tag on a brand-new OEM replacement can be a real shock. Luckily, a quality used transfer case is often the smarter, and more affordable, choice for many owners. Here’s why:

New Ford transfer cases from dealerships can run anywhere from $1,500 to $3,000 just for the part, depending on your model and year. Our premium used transfer cases usually cost 40-60% less, making a proper repair much easier on your wallet without cutting corners on quality.

Every used transfer case we offer is an original Ford part, the exact same component that was factory-installed on another Ford vehicle. That means perfect fit and performance, just like Ford intended for your model and year.

Unlike some aftermarket or remanufactured units that mix in non-Ford parts, our used transfer cases are 100% genuine Ford components. They come from lower-mileage vehicles often retired for reasons unrelated to the drivetrain, so you’re getting parts that have proven their reliability on the road.

Going with a used transfer case is also a smart choice for the environment. Recycling these perfectly good parts helps keep them out of landfills and reduces the demand for new manufacturing, which saves energy and cuts emissions.

Plus, when your 4×4 Ford is sidelined, waiting weeks for a special order isn’t practical. Thanks to our large inventory, we probably have the exact transfer case you need ready to ship or pick up, so you can get back on the road faster.

How To Find Out If You Need To Replace The Ford Transfer Case

Your transfer case is a key part of your Ford’s drivetrain, it’s what lets your 4×4 or AWD system send power to all four wheels when you need it. Catching transfer case problems early can save you from getting stranded and avoid costly damage to other parts. 

Here are some signs your Ford’s transfer case might be acting up:

• Grinding, clicking, or humming noises — If you hear strange sounds that change with your speed or when switching between 2WD and 4WD, it could mean worn gears or chain issues inside the transfer case.
• Difficulty shifting between drive modes — Struggling to engage or disengage 4WD, or feeling resistance when using the 4×4 selector, can be a sign your transfer case is on its way out. Electronic systems might also respond slowly.
• Jumping out of 4WD — If your truck suddenly shifts back to 2WD without you touching anything, it’s a clear warning that internal parts are worn or damaged.
• Fluid leaks — Spotting reddish or brown fluid under your vehicle, especially near the middle, usually means a transfer case seal is leaking. Even a small leak can cause big trouble if ignored.
• 4WD warning lights — Newer Fords have onboard monitoring, so if you see a “4×4 Service Required” light or similar warning on your dash, the system has detected a transfer case problem.
• Vehicle shuddering during acceleration — Feeling a vibration or shudder when you accelerate in 4WD mode often points to internal transfer case issues.
• Unexpected loss of power — Losing power to the front or rear wheels while in 4WD can mean the transfer case isn’t distributing power properly.
• Burning smell — An overheating transfer case can give off a burning odor, like burning oil or clutch material, often caused by low fluid or internal damage.

If you’re noticing any of these symptoms, it’s time to get your transfer case checked out before it leads to bigger problems.
