The transfer case is a gear box found in 4-wheel and all-wheel drive vehicles. It receives power from the transmission and sends it to both front and rear axles.

What do you understand by the term transfer box in an automobile vehicle?

Transfer box is probably a misnomer for a transfer case ... a gearbox that delivers power to a second axle in addition to the axle that "normally" delivers the power to the wheels. In a typical four wheel vehicle, the transfer case delivers power to the front wheels in addition to the standard power delivery to the rear wheels, in the case of trucks or older SUVs. In a passenger car, the standard is front wheel drive, so a transfer case might be used to deliver power to the rear wheels. In either case, the vehicle is being reconfigured from two wheel drive to four wheel drive, by engaging ... or disengaging ... the transfer case. In all wheel drive vehicles, the transfer is happening all the time.

No. Each car has its own separate title so you can't transfer it to a different car. You can, however, transfer title of a car from one person to another. That is part of transferring ownership of the car.


What are the name of cars that can be towed behind a motor home?

Any car could be. A 2wd drive car with a manual transmission can simply be put into neutral and flat towed. A 4wd vehicle with a manual transfer case can simply have the transfer case placed into the neutral position and be flat towed. Vehicles with automatic transmissions and vehicles which don't have manual transfer cases capable of being put into a neutral position (such as the electronically controlled NP233 or any all wheel drive transfer case) typically need to have the driveshaft(s) removed in order to be flat towed.


What does neutral in a car mean?
