Transfer Case Service Assembly
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Chevrolet Trax and 2016 Buick Encore. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
New transfer case assemblies are shipped with the intermediate drive shaft (IDS) assembly (2) partially installed and retained to the transfer case assembly by a shipping clip (1). The shipping clip is to be removed and discarded. Prior to removal or installation of the IDS shaft, seal protector DT-50937 (3) must be installed to avoid front wheel drive intermediate shaft seal damage.
