Description & Operation: Introduction

The transfer assembly is a component of the V-Flex full-time 4WD system. This system enables the vehicle to operate practically in the 2WD mode during normal travel when there is almost no rotational difference between the front and rear wheels. When a rotational difference is created between the front and rear wheels, such as during cornering or driving on a snowy road, this system transmits the drive force to the rear wheels, ensuring stable maneuverability while driving in various road and operating conditions.

The transfer assembly is placed at the right output side of the transaxle drive shaft. The direction of the drive force, which is input into the differential case, is changed 90 degrees before the transfer outputs the force rearward to rear differential.
