The transfer case output shaft on your Pathfinder transfers torque and power from your Nissans powertrain to the rear wheels on a four-wheel drive model. If your Nissan has four-wheel-drive, it applies the transfer case output shaft to transfer power from your front wheels to incorporate the rear wheels, offering you four-wheel-drive power from your Nissan.
The transfer case output shaft relies on a functioning Transfer Case Output Shaft Seal to help keep dirt, debris, and water out of the driveshaft. If water, dirt, or debris get inside the driveshaft because of a broken Transfer Case Output Shaft Seal you can experience a loss of power, motion, and movement to the rear wheels.
The Transfer Case Output Shaft Seal on your Nissan Pathfinder can gradually wear down. The rubber can harden and crack over time, allowing water, debris, and dirt to enter the transfer case. If this occurs, you might experience a faint whining noise when your Pathfinder engages the transfer output shaft. Additionally, an old Transfer Case Output Shaft Seal could cause gear oil to leak or drip around the transfer case.
Youll need several specialty tools and some more advanced auto repair skills to replace your Pathfinder Transfer Case Output Shaft Seal at home. Its advisable to contact your closest authorized Nissan service center before starting the repair process.
Before installing a new Transfer Case Output Shaft Seal, make sure your Nissan is parked level. Jack up your vehicle, and locate the transfer case. Pry open the drive shaft, and place a drip pan underneath to capture any gear oil that leaks out. With a seal removal tool, remove the old Transfer Case Output Shaft Seal from the case. Removing the old seal may be difficult if the rubber has become hard. Wipe the seal housing clean and install the new Pathfinder Transfer Case Output Shaft Seal, then lubricate the fitting around the seal and replace the transfer case to its original position.
