The transfer case input shaft (1) extends through the hollow shaft (7) to drive the planetary gear system (13) housing. The housing transfers the engine torque to the outer gears, which drive the rear output shaft (15). The outer gears drive the smaller inner gears, which drive the hollow shaft (7). The hollow shaft transfers the torque to the intermediate gear (6) and then to the front output shaft (5). See Fig 1.
The planetary gear system assembly contains a friction disc that is splined to the hollow shaft and applied to the planetary gear system housing to dampen vibrations in the system.
