Used Transfer Case Buying Guide
Three things decide whether a transfer case fits your vehicle.
| Shift type | How you engage 4WD | Common on | What to match |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manual shift | A floor lever moves the case between 2H, 4H and 4L | Older and heavy-duty trucks | Case tag, spline count and shift linkage |
| Electronic shift | A dash switch or knob drives a shift motor on the case | Most modern pickups and SUVs | Case tag, shift motor and connector |
| Full-time and AWD | Power goes to both axles all the time, with no driver input | AWD SUVs and cars | Case tag, VIN and drivetrain code |
Read the case tag
The tag on the case identifies the exact model. Take a photo before you call. Transfer case buyer’s guide
4WD or AWD?

Used Transfer Case FAQs
Where can I buy a used transfer case online?
You can request a used transfer case quote from FirstChoice Used Auto Parts online or by calling 1-888-383-2439, Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM EST. Send a request anytime and we will get back to you as soon as possible. We are based in Louisville, Kentucky, match every unit to your VIN and case tag, and ship by freight across the United States.
How much does a used transfer case cost?
Used transfer case prices vary with the vehicle, shift type, drivetrain and availability. A used OEM unit usually costs up to 70% less than a new one from a dealer, and you get 10% off when you order by phone. The fastest way to an exact price is a quote using your VIN and case tag.
How do I find the correct transfer case for my vehicle?
Use your VIN together with the tag or stamping on your original case. Also confirm the shift type (manual or electronic), part-time 4WD or AWD, and the output spline count. Our specialists check all of this before quoting.
What are the signs of a bad transfer case?
Common signs include trouble shifting into or out of 4WD, grinding or clunking noises, a 4WD light that flashes, fluid leaks under the middle of the vehicle, and the truck jumping out of 4WD. Read our transfer case inspection guide.
Can I drive with a bad transfer case?
It is not recommended. A failing transfer case can lose drive to one axle, damage the driveshafts or transmission, and in some cases lock up. Have it checked as soon as you notice symptoms.
Do your used transfer cases come with a warranty?
Yes. Every used transfer case comes with a 90-day parts-only warranty. Labor costs are not covered. Full terms are in our warranty policy.
Are 4WD and AWD transfer cases interchangeable?
No. Part-time 4WD, full-time 4WD and AWD transfer cases work differently and are not interchangeable, even on the same model. See 4WD vs AWD transfer cases.
Do you ship used transfer cases across the United States?
Yes. Transfer cases ship by LTL freight with no shipping charge. They are delivered to a commercial or business address, such as your repair shop. See the shipping policy for details.
What should I do before installing a used transfer case?
Compare the tag and photos with what arrives, note any freight damage on the bill of lading, fill it with the fluid your manufacturer specifies, and check the shift motor and connector on electronic-shift units before installing.
