The transfer case is connected to the transmission and also to the front and rear axles by means of drive shafts.

Famous quotes containing the words transfer and/or case:
“I have proceeded ... to prevent the lapse from ... the point of blending between wakefulness and sleep.... Not ... that I can render the point more than a point—but that I can startle myself ... into wakefulness—and thus transfer the point ... into the realm of Memory—convey its impressions,... to a situation where ... I can survey them with the eye of analysis.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“In the case of news, we should always wait for the sacrament of confirmation.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
