A vehicle transfer case for movement between two- and four-wheel drive includes a stop cushion as an end of travel range is approached. The cushion is preferably provided by a generally U-shaped spring that is contacted by the stop at either of its ends of travel. The cushion prevents the stop from locking into a housing for the gear.

The present invention teaches an improved brush holder assembly. The holder has a first terminal wire and comprises a support plate and a tower attached thereto for securing the first terminal wire. The tower comprises a body and an end. The body comprises an interior passageway with a number of ribs for securably positioning the first terminal wire within the body and a groove for securing the first terminal wire within the tower. The tower's end functionally crimps the first terminal wire and has a plurality of support members for securably positioning the crimped first terminal wire within a mouth of the end. A coil spring forming an inductor is also incorporated for mechanically biasing a brush and for filtering out electromagnetic interference (EMI).
