Abstract
A transfer for a four-wheel drive vehicle includes an input shaft, an output shaft, a high-low switching mechanism, an output member, a clutch, a locking sleeve, a screw mechanism, a transmitting mechanism, a drum cam, and a switching mechanism. The switching mechanism is configured to selectively switch between an H4L position and an L4L position in conjunction with rotational motion of the electric motor. The H4L position is a position in which a high-low sleeve provided in the high-low switching mechanism is in a position in which a high-speed gear is established in the high-low switching mechanism. The L4L position is a position in which the high-low sleeve provided in the high-low switching mechanism is in a position in which a low-speed gear is established in the high-low switching mechanism.
