How to Remove a Geo Tracker Transfer Case

The transfer case takes the power from the transmission and distributes it the axles. When driving a Geo Tracker, you can switch the transfer case into two or four-wheel drive mode. Known as a part-time transfer case, this system allows the driver to choose the mode best suited for the road conditions. Switching to two-wheel drive provides better fuel economy. A transfer case issue results in an inability to switch between two and four-wheel drive or complete loss of four-wheel drive operation. On the Tracker, you must remove the transmission with the transfer case.
