Transfer cases without a center differential are used on what kind of system?

I’m looking to buy my very first car, but I have a lot of questions about components and terms that I don’t understand—for one, transfer cases without a center differential are used on what kind of system?

Claire Beaney · Updated on Jul 21, 2022

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

Great question! Transfer cases without a center differential are used on part-time four-wheel drive systems.

This essentially means that when the car is in 4-wheel drive, all four wheels rotate at the same speed. Another tip—when the transfer case is in 4-wheel drive mode, part-time 4-wheel drive cars should not be driven at high speeds or on gripping surfaces such as light pavement.

Since you’re shopping for your first car, you should also be shopping for your first

policy. If you want cheap car insurance quotes fast, go to
