MP143 Transfer Case - Description






DESCRIPTION




MP143 EXPLODED VIEW





Available with both manual and automatic transmissions, the MP143 single-speed, part-time transfer case is used in Nitro's new Part-Time Four-Wheel Drive System. Two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes are electronically controlled via a switch in the center console. Either mode can be selected at any time. The MP143 transfer case works with standard-equipment Traction Control and ESP (Electronic Stability Program) features to provide enhanced traction and stability on low-traction surfaces.

- Two operating positions: 2WD and 4Lock controlled via a switch in the center console.
- For temporary conditions that require extra traction such as snow or mud, the part-time 4Lock mode locks the main shaft and drive sprocket hub, making the front and rear wheels rotate in unison and offering maximum traction.
- Enhanced traction and stability provided by Traction Control and ESP working in tandem with part-time four-wheel-drive. Traction Control and ESP provide resistance to any wheel that is slipping to allow additional torque transfer to wheels with traction.
- Robust design and sealing for reliability.
- Maintenance free.
