ABSTRACT:
A transfer case assembly includes an input gear, an idler gear, and an output gear. The idler gear is mounted on an idler shaft, which is rotatably supported by a bearing retained within a carrier. The carrier fits within an arcuate slot. The arcuate slot defines a multiple of idler shaft predetermined mounting locations. Each of the idler shaft predetermined mounting locations are equidistant from the third axis, and vary in distance from the first axis. For each of the idler shaft predetermined mounting locations a gear, of a predetermined size is provided to achieve a proper gear mesh for the desired gear ratio.
