Instructions for Converting the Transfer Case to the New Style Before Installation
Concern:
Converting transfer cases that are still in stock to the new type before installing them in customer vehicles.
Date of Introduction:
The optimized transfer case is used during production from week 31/2016.
Remedial Action:
If the transfer case needs to be replaced, check the part number of the new transfer case. If the transfer case is the old type, it must be converted to the new type before doing any other work.
Conversion to the new type involves:
- Fitting a new protective ring on the front output drive (sometimes also referred to as "dust boot"),
- Fitting a new vent connection (breather adapter)
- Retrofitting a vent line in the vehicle.
