Transfer case gear ASM with drum clutch (Maserati ATC)

This assembly acts as the housing (clutch basket) for the internal clutch system. it ensures that the series of plates, springs, and spacers are perfectly aligned and under the correct tension to facilitate smooth power transfer within your Maserati ATC transfer case.

Common symptoms include a jerking or shuddering sensation during acceleration, strange grinding noises from the drivetrain, or an ‘AWD System Failure’ warning on your dashboard. If the drum is grooved or worn, the plates won’t slide correctly, causing these issues.

While you can sometimes replace just the plates, professional mechanics recommend inspecting the drum (basket). if the inner surface is worn or damaged, new plates will fail prematurely. Replacing the entire assembly ensures a long-lasting, reliable repair.

Jerking during tight turns is a classic sign of transfer case clutch binding. This happens when the clutch drum or plates in the ATC unit are worn out or sticking, preventing the necessary slip between the front and rear axles.

This part is specifically designed for the Maserati ATC series transfer cases. To ensure 100% fitment for your specific model year and VIN, we recommend verifying your existing part matches the drum clutch design used in Maserati performance drivetrains.
