The Nissan Xterra Transfer Case sends engine torque to both axles so this SUV can easily transition from pavement to trails. Attached to the transmission with bolts, the Transfer Case employs driveshafts to send power to the front and rear differentials. The driver can select between 2WD on regular roads or 4WD high and low on slippery and slow speed situations. Early Xterra generations applied a rugged part-time Transfer Case, the same design found in many Nissan trucks. The first-gen model has a floor lever and mechanical linkage, while later models use an electric motor engaged by a dash switch. No matter the style, they both retain a chain or gear set that sends power to the front wheels when 4WD is selected. The low range multiplies the torque so you can crawl over rocks. You can switch to 4WD high while you are moving at modest speeds. You must stop to shift into low to protect the components, though. You may notice delays before the vehicle moves, knocking sounds, and the popping noise under a load. This means wear of the chain, gears, or shaft connections. The Transfer Case may need immediate attention. Since the Transfer Case synchronizes wheel rotation, it prevents driveline binding, yielding predictable handling, a versatility that has come to define Nissan SUVs and puts countless Xterra adventures in motion.
