TRANSFER BOX
Introduction
The Borg Warner transfer box splits the drive from
the main gearbox to the front and rear axles through
the propeller shafts. Two speed ratios and a neutral
position are provided by means of a single, epicyclic
gear set. The two speed ratios, High and Low range,
and neutral position are selected electronically by
the ratio control motor.
A Morse chain transmits the drive through a gear
from the intermediate shaft to the differential unit.
The differential unit allows the front and rear output
shafts to rotate at different speeds. A viscous
coupling unit (VCU) limits the amount of slippage
allowed between the front and rear output shafts and
renders a conventional differential lock unnecessary.
TRANSFER BOX
High and Low Range
TRANSFER BOX
The selector fork is mounted on a second shaft
located within the front and rear casings but is able
to slide in the casing mountings. A cam follower on
the selector fork engages with the cam track of the
interlock spool. When the ratio control motor rotates
the interlock spool, the cam follower of the selector
fork follows the cam track of the interlock spool. This
converts rotational movement of the interlock spool
into linear movement of the selector fork.
The selector fork is engaged to the reduction hub.
Linear movement of the selector fork is transmitted
to the reduction hub, moving it between High, Low
and neutral positions. In the event of the reduction
hub gear failing to mesh with the epicyclic gear set,
wind-up of the interlock is prevented by the interlock
spool springs. The springs apply a constant torque
to the cam track casting until the reduction hub
engages with the epicyclic gear.
Ratio control motor
The ratio control motor drives the selector
mechanism and is controlled by the transfer box
electronic control unit (ECU). The ECU monitors a
number of variables including the position of the
ratio control motor, the speed of the vehicle, and the
drive ratio selected by the driver. When a ratio
change is requested, the transfer box ECU checks
that conditions are favourable for the change, for
example that the vehicle speed is sufficiently low to
permit engagement. The ECU then drives the ratio
control motor to the required position. When the
conditions for a ratio change are unfavourable, the
transfer box ECU communicates instructions to the
driver through the Message Centre and will not
attempt to change ratios until the correct conditions
are met.

Lubrication
Internal lubrication of the transfer gearbox is
provided by a low pressure, plunger-type oil pump
mounted on the rear of the intermediate shaft. Oil
pick-up is through a strainer in the transfer box
sump. From the pump, oil is supplied through the
intermediate shaft to the epicyclic gear set. The
differential and Morse chain are partially immersed
in oil and lubricated as the components rotate. The
VCU is a fully sealed unit and does not require
separate lubrication.
