DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

Transfer Case, Electronic Shift

The Borg-Warner 13-56 electronic shift transfer case (7A195) is used on Bronco and F-150 4x4 vehicles as an option. The transfer case transfers power from the transmission (7003) to the rear axle, and also to the front axle when electronically actuated.

The Borg Warner 13-56 electronic shift transfer case is a three-piece magnesium part-time transfer case. It transfers power from the transmission to the rear axle and, when actuated, also the front drive axle. The unit is lubricated by a positive displacement oil pump that channels oil flow through drilled holes in the rear output shaft.

NOTE: Remember that electronic shift transfer cases do not have a selectable neutral position. Because of this, if vehicles equipped with electronic shift are to be towed for long distances, the rear driveshaft should be disconnected. If this is not done, the transfer case (which is protected by positive lubrication) will drive the transmission, which is not lubricated when the vehicle is towed, and may cause damage to the transmission.
