DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The BW 44-47 is a manually controlled, part time transfer case.
The low range provides a 2.64:1 reduction ratio.
OPERATING RANGES
BW 44-47 operating ranges are:
2HI.
4WD Lock.
Neutral.
4WD Low
SHIFT MECHANISM
Operating ranges are selected with a floor mounted shift selector lever. The lever is attached to a shift linkage
rod that is attached to the transfer case mounted shift lever.
OPERATION
OPERATION
The input gear is splined to the transmission output shaft. The input gear drives the mainshaft through the
planetary assembly and range sleeve. The front output shaft is operated by a drive chain that connects the shaft
to a drive sprocket on the mainshaft. Torque is transmitted through the input shaft to the drive sprocket
assembly, and is transferred directly to the rear propeller shaft. Torque to the front output shaft is accomplished
through the chain assembly. The oil pump circulates gear lube throughout the case to provide lubrication and
cooling.

CLEANING

CLEANING
Clean the transfer case parts with a standard parts cleaning solvent. Remove all traces of sealer from the cases
and retainers with a scraper and 3M™ all purpose cleaner. Use compressed air to remove solvent residue from
oil feed passages in the case halves, retainers, gears, and shafts.
INSPECTION
INSPECTION
MAINSHAFT/SPROCKET/HUB INSPECTION
Inspect the splines on the hub and shaft and the teeth on the sprocket. Minor nicks and scratches can be
smoothed with an oilstone. However, replace any part that is damaged.
Check the contact surfaces in the sprocket bore and on the mainshaft. Minor nicks and scratches can be
smoothed with 320-400 grit emery cloth but do not try to salvage the shaft if nicks or wear is severe.
PLANETARY CARRIER

Examine the planetary carrier body (2) and pinion gears for wear or damage. Check the pinion gear thrust
washers on the pinon pins for damage. The carrier will have to be replaced as an assembly if the body, pinion
pins, or pinion gears are damaged.
Check the needle bearing in the carrier. Inspect the thrust bearing (1).
SHIFT FORK/HUBS/SLEEVES

Fig. 34: Identifying Shift Fork

Check condition of the shift fork and shift fork shift rail. Minor nicks on the shift rail can be smoothed with
320-400 grit emery cloth.
Inspect the shift fork wear pads (2).
Check the shift fork sleeve (1) for wear or damage.
Fig. 35: Reduction Hub

Check the reduction hub (1) for wear on the shift fork collar (2).
Check the teeth and splines of the reduction hub (1). Minor nicks can be dressed off with an oilstone. Replace

the gear if any teeth are broken, cracked, or chipped.
REAR EXTENSION HOUSING
Inspect the extension housing seal and bushing. Replace both components if either show any sign of wear or
damage.
FRONT OUTPUT SHAFT AND DRIVE CHAIN
Inspect the shaft splines, sprocket teeth, and bearing surfaces. Minor nicks on the teeth can be smoothed with an
oilstone. Use 320-400 grit emery to smooth minor scratches on the shaft bearing surfaces. Rough threads on the
shaft can be chased if necessary. Replace the shaft if the splines are damaged, bearing surfaces are scored, or if
any sprocket teeth are cracked or broken.
Examine the drive chain and shaft bearings. Replace the chain and both sprockets if the chain is stretched,
distorted, or if any of the links bind. Replace the bearings if rough, or noisy.
LOW RANGE ANNULUS GEAR
Fig. 36: Low Range Annulus Gear

Inspect the annulus gear (2) condition carefully.
FRONT AND REAR CASES
Inspect the cases for wear and damage.
Check the case condition. If leaks were a problem, look for gouges and severe scoring of the case sealing
surfaces. Also make sure the front case mounting studs are in good condition.
Check the front case mounting studs and vent tube. The tube can be secured with Loctite™ 271 or 680 if loose.

The stud threads can be cleaned up with a die if necessary. Also check the condition of the fill/drain plug
threads in the rear case. The threads can be repaired with a thread chaser or tap if necessary. Or the threads can
be repaired with Helicoil® stainless steel inserts if required.
OIL PUMP/OIL PICKUP
Examine the oil pump pickup parts. Replace the pump if any part appears to be worn or damaged. Do not
disassemble the pump as individual parts are not available. The pump is only available as a complete assembly.
The pickup screen, hose, and tube are the only serviceable parts and are available separately.

SENSOR, POSITION
DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
The transfer case position sensor is an electronic device whose output can be interpreted to indicate the transfer
case's current operating mode. The sensor consists of a five position, resistive multiplexed circuit which returns
a specific resistance value to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for each transfer case operating mode. The
sensor is located on the top of the transfer case, just left of the transfer case centerline and rides against the
sector plate roostercomb. The PCM supplies 5VDC (+/- 0.5V) to the sensor and monitors the return voltage to
determine the sector plate, and therefore the transfer case, position.
OPERATION
OPERATION
During normal vehicle operation, the Body Control Module (BCM) monitors the transfer case position sensor
return voltage to determine the operating mode of the transfer case. Refer to the OPERATING MODE
VERSUS RESISTANCE table for the correct resistance for each position.
