The Transfer Case in Nissan Pathfinder channels engine torque to both front and rear axles, giving drivers confident four-wheel traction performance be it on pavement, snow, or rugged trails. Located behind the transmission, this Transfer Case transmits power through driveshafts to each differential. The design has evolved from a lever-controlled part-time unit to electronically shifted versions activated by a dash knob across Pathfinder generations. The early part-time Transfer Case offers Nissan owners the ability to 2WD cruise then switch into 4WD high or low for slippery roads or slow rock crawls using a sturdy chain or gear set to push torque forward. Subsequent models, which include all-wheel drive, utilize a full-time Transfer Case. This includes a center differential or viscous coupling which allows the front and rear shafts to rotate at different speeds in order to prevent binding. However, at the same time, extra force is directed to the rear when slip is evident. The main difference is in the control style. The part-time will lock the axles only when the switch is selected. Full-time will manage the split automatically. Signs such as a delayed engagement, banging noises, or rough shifts indicate that the Transfer Case needs immediate attention to keep any Nissan Pathfinder moving sure-sure-footed.
