ABSTRACT:
A compound planetary gear arrangement for a transfer case includes a ring gear in driving engagement with an output shaft. A sun gear and carrier are selectively alternatively connectable with a transmission housing (ground) through a clutch or selectively connectable with an input through a clutch. This compound planetary gear arrangement provides one direct and two underdrive ratios between the input and the output of the transfer case.
