What are the symptoms of a faulty transfer case in a Mitsubishi Pajero?

The symptoms of a faulty transfer case in a Mitsubishi Pajero include the inability to switch to four-wheel drive mode or unusual noises while driving. Here is additional information: 1. Introduction to the transfer case: The transfer case is a device that distributes the engine's power, sending it to the rear axle or simultaneously to both the front and rear axles. The transfer case is essentially a component found in four-wheel-drive vehicles. As four-wheel-drive technology has advanced, transfer cases have also evolved, resulting in various distinct types. 2. Part-time four-wheel-drive transfer case: Part-time four-wheel-drive vehicles typically operate as two-wheel-drive vehicles but can switch to four-wheel-drive for off-road conditions. The part-time four-wheel-drive transfer case is a purely mechanical device. When engaged in four-wheel-drive mode, this type of transfer case creates a rigid connection between the front and rear axles, enabling a 50:50 power distribution between them, which significantly enhances the vehicle's off-road capability.
