This gearbox, or transfer box as it's often called, mainly handles splitting the power from your engine to different wheels. Typically that’s going to be from the engine to both the front and rear axles, or even switching between two and four – wheel drive. It uses a series of gears to adjust the speed and torque going to each set of wheels. It also usually houses the low – range gear set if your vehicle has that capability. That low range gives you a lot more power at slower speeds, like when you’re off – roading or towing something heavy. Think of it as the middleman between your engine and the wheels when you need power sent to more than just one set. If you have a vehicle that can switch between two – wheel drive and four – wheel drive, this is what makes that happen. It takes the rotational force from the main gearbox and distributes it accordingly. It's a pretty crucial part of the drivetrain. If this thing goes bad, you'll definitely notice. You might hear some grinding noises, especially when switching between drive modes. Or you might find that your four – wheel drive just isn’t engaging, or is slipping. Sometimes you’ll feel vibrations through the floor. Basically, if it can’t reliably send power where it needs to go, you’ll lose control and potentially damage other parts. It acts like a shield for the rest of your drivetrain, protecting it from excessive strain. We carry a good selection of these at Fixparts Online, if you’re looking to get one replaced. It’s a job that’s best left to a professional, but getting the right part is the first step. Choose Volkswagen: Gearbox (MPN 09N409053E) is protected by a 12-month warranty!
