The Toyota RAV4 average ($267) runs 22% above its median ($218), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
The Jeep Wrangler transfer case is interchangeable across 19 model years versus just 13 for the Toyota RAV4 — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Toyota RAV4 is 73% cheaper ($220 vs $800) — the gap widens compared to the overall median difference.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used transfer case
- Match the part number on the case — transfer cases vary by engine, gear ratio, and shift type (manual vs electronic).
- Check for leaks around the input/output seals and the front/rear flanges.
- Ask about the fluid condition at removal. Clean ATF is a good sign; burnt or metallic-flecked fluid signals internal wear.
- Confirm whether the shift motor (on electronically shifted units) is included and functional.
