Description
The chain in the transfer case is responsible for consistent and uniform power transmission. It provides the connection necessary for the optimal operation of the front and rear axles, thereby ensuring the functionality of the 4×4 drive.
How do I know if my KIA or Ssangyong transfer case chain is worn out?
Common symptoms of a worn BW4405, BW4424, or BW4426 chain include a clicking or popping noise under heavy acceleration, especially in 4WD mode. You might also experience jerking or a sensation that the gears are slipping as the stretched chain skips over the sprocket teeth.
Is this chain compatible with both KIA and Ssangyong models?
Yes, this chain is specifically designed for BorgWarner transfer case models BW4405, BW4424, and BW4426. These units are commonly found in various KIA and Ssangyong 4×4 vehicles. Please verify your transfer case model number before purchasing.
Can a stretched transfer case chain damage other transmission components?
Absolutely. If a stretched chain is not replaced, it can prematurely wear out the drive sprockets and, in extreme cases, slap against the transfer case housing, causing internal cracks and fluid leaks.
What causes these transfer case chains to fail or stretch?
The main causes are high mileage, frequent heavy towing, or aggressive off-roading. Lack of lubrication due to old or low transfer case fluid can also increase friction, leading to heat buildup and metal fatigue in the chain links.
Do I need special tools to replace the BW4424 or BW4426 chain?
Replacing the chain requires opening the transfer case, which usually necessitates snap-ring pliers, a socket set, and high-quality RTV sealant for reassembly. While a DIYer can do it, professional installation is recommended to ensure correct bearing alignment.
