ABSTRACT:
The specification discloses a transfer case for four-wheel-drive vehicles. In one embodiment, the transfer case includes a fluid coupling and rotation of an input shaft is transferred to a front drive shaft by a pair of opposed rotatable rings having interleaved fins. The interleaved fins provide fluid filled chambers and relative movement of the fins compresses the fluid and increases the ability of the fluid to transfer torque.
