2001 chevy blazer transfer case removal
How to Remove a Chevy Blazer Rear Transfer Case The transfer case on a Chevrolet Blazer is underneath the vehicle, mounted to the rear of the transmission. On four-wheel drive vehicles, the transfer case takes power generated by the engine and channeled through the transmission and directs it to the front and rear drive axles. Over time, the gears and bearings inside the transfer case can wear and the transfer case must be rebuilt. The transfer case on this vehicle must be removed before it can be serviced.
Things You'll Need
  • Wrench set
  • Floor jack
  • Jack stands
  • Socket set
  • Masking tape
  • Marker
  • Needle-nose pliers
Hide Instructions
  1. Removing the Driveshafts
    • 1 Disconnect the ground cable from the negative battery terminal, by using a wrench to loosen the retaining bolt and pulling the clamp off the terminal.
  • 2 Raise the vehicle and support with jack stands placed underneath the frame.
  • 3 Drain the transfer case. Locate the drain plug near the bottom of the transfer case. Place a waste oil collection pan underneath the plug and use a socket to remove it. Once all the fluid has drained out, reinstall the plug.
  • 4 Remove the bolts that connect the rear driveshaft to the rear axle yoke using a socket. Lower the driveshaft, and slide it backward underneath the rear axle to disengage it from the transfer case. Remove it from the vehicle.
  • 5 Remove the bolts that connect the front driveshaft to the front axle yoke using a socket. Lower the driveshaft, and slide it forward underneath the front axle to disengage it from the transfer case. Remove the driveshaft from the vehicle.
    • Removing the Transfer Case
    • 6 Label and disconnect the electrical wires and vacuum lines connected to the transfer case. Use masking tape and a marker.
    • 7 Remove the transfer case shifter rod. Using needle-nose pliers, remove the clip that connects the shifter rod to the transfer case. Slide the rod away from the transfer case.
    • 8 Position a floor jack underneath the transfer case. Raise it enough to take the weight of the transfer case off the transmission.
    • 9 Remove the bolts that connect the transfer case to the transmission using a socket or wrench.
    • 10 Slide the transfer case rearward to disengage it from the transfer case. Lower the floor jack, and remove the transfer case from the vehicle

    How do u remove a transfer case
    Most suvs have the transfer case linked to the transmission. Best is to take both out at the same time.Generally:
    1. Disconnect the battery
    2. Unplug all wires from the transmission - transfer case unit. Make sure you mark them so you can reconnect them properly
    3. Get inside the car and remove the shift lever(s)
    4. Remove the starter
    5. Remove the clutch slave if there's one or disconnect all cables from the unit
    6. Support the car on stands so you can work easily under it.
    7. Drain the oil from the unit may have 1 or 2 drain plugs
    8. Remove the shafts making sure you marked the alignment where they are joined
    9. Support both the engine and the transmission unit with the appropriate jacks
    10. Unbolt the transmission from the engine
    11. Remove the unit support (s)
    12. Remove the unit from the car.
    Important to remember the type of oil that goes in the trans and in the transfer case. They may not be the same. Also, some electrical transfer cases don't use any oil.

    I have a 2003 gmc envoy the service 4wd light came on and 4wd didnt engage what do you think the the problem is
    Possible the actuator on the front axle is bad! You need to see if the front drive shaft is rotating when the 4HI is engaged with out running yourselft over in the process.

    There is one actuator on the axle and one on the transfer case, the one on the trnsfer case locks the drive shaft in ans out of 4HI and 4LO. The actuator on the frontaxle locsk the front drive shaft in    .

    Also, try the wires going to the front actuator, they seem to break very easy and short, also the front Actuator, check it.
    1. Raise and support the truck on jackstands.
    2. Drain the transfer case.
    3. Disconnect the speedometer cable.
    4. On models equipped with the NP208 transfer case, place the case in the 4H position.
    5. Remove the skid plate and if necessary, the crossmember support.
    6. If necessary, on trucks with automatic transmission, disconnect the strut rod.
    7. Tag and unplug all electrical connections and hoses from the transfer case.
    8. On models equipped with the NP208 transfer case, remove the parking brake cable guide from the pivot on the right frame rail.
    9. Matchmark the driveshafts, disconnect them, and remove them.
    10. Disconnect the shift lever rod.
    11. Support the transfer case and remove the bolts attaching the transfer case to transmission adapter.
    12. Move the transfer case to the rear until the input shaft clears the adapter and lower the transfer case from the truck.

    Sounds as though you a have a problem with the switch itself, although it could be the encoder on the transfer case , me--- I would have it checked at a transmision shop where they have a computer to check it. Every time you unhook a wire on the truck , you should have the + cable off the battery, cause this puts another code into your main computer.

    Keep us uopdated.

    Transfer case removal
    first remove both front and rear driveshafts. Then remove skid plate underneath transfer case. Remember to unplug the electric motor wiring harness for explorers with electronic four wheel drive switching. Remove vacuum line on the top of transfer case. Unbolt Speedometer cable mount from top/rear of transfer case. Remove five bolts connecting the transfer case to the transmission, this step will cause some transmission fluid to leak from the shaft housing (approx. half a litre) so place a drain pan underneath. Remember to either place a jack or wood blocking under transfer case before removing the last bolt connecting the transfer case as it is heavy (approx. 80-90 lbs.).

    Transfer case removal
    Suzuki Samurai/Sidekick/Tracker 1986-1998 Repair Guide
     Transfer Case Assembly - REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

    Samurai Models
    Even the 2WD Samurai uses a transfer case. Rather than use a straight line driveshaft from the transmission to the differential, the Samurai leaves the transfer case in place and replaces its internal working with a simple offset gear mechanism, thus keeping 2 of the 3 driveshafts used in the 4WD vehicle.
    1. On 4WD vehicles, remove the transfer case shift lever.
    2. Raise and support the vehicle safely.
    3. Drain the oil from the transfer case.
    4. Matchmark and remove the driveshafts from the transfer case assembly. Not all of the driveshafts need to be completely removed from the vehicle, just unbolted from the case flanges. In most cases, the shaft or shafts on one side of the transfer case can be repositioned and supported out of the way.
    5. Support the transfer case using a suitable transmission jack.
    6. Disconnect the speedometer cable from the transfer case.
    7. On 4WD vehicles, disconnect the 4WD switch lead wire at the coupler.
    8. Remove the three mounting bolts and/or nuts securing the transfer case to the chassis, as applicable.
    9. Carefully lower the transfer case from the vehicle.
    To install:
    1. Position and install the transfer case. Tighten the mounting bolts to 159-248 inch lbs. (18-28 Nm) and/or the mounting nuts to 19-25 ft. lbs. (25-34 Nm).
    2. On 4WD vehicles, connect the 4WD switch lead wire at the coupler.
    3. Connect the speedometer cable to the transfer case.
    4. Properly refill the transfer case with an approved type of gear oil.
    5. Align and install the driveshafts to the transfer case.
    6. On 4WD vehicles, install the transfer case shift lever.
    7. Remove the jackstands and carefully lower the vehicle.
    Sidekick, Tracker, Sidekick Sport and X-90 Models
    On these models the transfer case is bolted to the transmission and takes the place of the 2WD transmission's extension housing. Therefore, transfer case is removed or installed as part of the transmission assembly.

    Hope this help (remember rated this and comment).

    What is the capacity of the transfer case and exactly what fluid do i use
    GM Full-Size Trucks 1980-1987 Repair Guide

    Transfer Case - FLUID RECOMMENDATIONS
    The type of lubricant used in the transfer case varies with model year and type of transfer case. Refer to the list below for the type that applies to your truck.

    1980
    Conventional transfer cases require SAE 80W or SAE 80W-90 GL-5 gear lubricant.
    Full time systems use SAE 10W-30 or 10W-40 engine oil.
    1981
    Conventional transfer cases require DEXRON®II transmission fluid.
    1982-85
    All transfer cases require DEXRON®II transmission fluid.
    1986-87
    All transfer cases except the K30/35 series require DEXRON®II transmission fluid.

    For fluid recommendations for the K30/35 transfer cases refer to the owner's manual.     LEVEL CHECKS

    fb6e8b4.jpg
    Fig. Model 208 Transfer Case

    Check the four wheel drive transfer case lubricant level every 4 months or 6,000 miles.
    1. With the truck parked on a level surface and the parking brake firmly applied, remove the filler plug from the rear of the transfer case (behind the transmission). Be careful not to take out the drain plug at the bottom.
    2. If lubricant trickles out, there is enough. If not, carefully insert a finger and check that the level is up to the edge of the hole, EXCEPT in full time four wheel drive cases should be 1 /2 in. below the hole.
    Lubricant may be added, if necessary, with a funnel and tube, or a squeeze bulb.



    DRAIN AND REFILL
    Part Time Systems
    No intervals are specified for changing transfer case lubricant, but it is a good idea for trucks that are worked hard or driven in deep water.
    1. With the transfer case warmed up, park on a level surface and apply the parking brake.
    2. Slide a pan of a least 6 pts. capacity under the case drain plug.
    3. Remove the filler plug from the rear of the transfer case (behind the transmission). Remove the drain plug from the bottom.
    4. Wipe the area clean and replace the drain plug.
    5. Add lubricant with a suction gun or squeeze bulb. Conventional transfer cases require SAE 80W-90 GL-5 Gear Lubricant.
    6. When the lubricant level is up to the bottom of the filler hole, replace the plug.
    Full Time Four Wheel Drive
    The full time system requires oil changes at regular intervals, according to the amount and type of work done by the unit. Trucks used for normal on-off road work should have the transfer case oil changed at 24,000 mile intervals. When used for heavy duty work, trailer towing, snowplowing, and the like, the interval should be halved to 12,000 miles. If the truck is exposed to extremely dusty or muddy conditions, the oil should be changed at 1,000 mile intervals.
    The transfer case oil must be hot before changing. Drive the truck until the engine has reached normal operating temperature, and park on a level surface.
    1. Slide a pan of at least 8 pts. capacity under the case drain plug.
    2. Remove the filler plug.
    3. Remove the lowest bolt from the front output shaft rear bearing retainer cover, and allow the lubricant to drain. Be careful; the oil will be hot. There may be a drain plug. If so, remove that instead.
    4. Remove the six bolts on the left (driver's) side of the case which secure to P.T.O. (power take-off) cover. Remove this cover and allow the lubricant to drain out.
    5. Remove the speedometer driven gear from the upper left rear corner of the case.
    6. Use a suction gun to remove as much lubricant as possible from the case cover location and the speedometer gear location.
    7. Install the speedometer driven gear, the P.T.O. cover, and the lowest bolt or drain plug.
    8. Add approximately seven pints of oil through the filler plug opening. The proper oil to use is 10W-30 or 10W-40 engine oil.
    9. Check the fluid level and add sufficient oil to raise the level to 1 /2 in. below the filler plug opening. Replace the plug, and wipe the surfaces of the case and skid plate to remove any excess oil. Drive the truck and check for leaks.

    I really hope help ypou woth this (remember rated this help) Good luck.
