The New Venture Gear transfer cases are either manual or electric shift. These transfer cases are specifically designed to withstand high engine torque loads under all modes of operation. When in the 4x4 mode of operation, torque is transferred from the main input shaft through a high load capacity chain link belt to the transfer case front output shaft. The front output driveshaft then transfers this torque to the front differential.
