Abstract
An improved transfer case has fewer parts than the prior art to achieve the pneumatic three-position function. In the prior art the pneumatic cylinders were provided by bolt-on housings which required additional components to achieve a fluid tight connection. The present invention incorporates its fluid cylinders within bores formed into the transfer case housings. In this way, the required number of housing components is greatly reduced compared to the prior art.
