⚠ Is Your Transfer Case Failing?
Worn Friction Plates and Internal Bracket Failure are common issues in high-mileage W167 vehicles. If you experience these symptoms, this kit is the solution:
- "Shudder" or Vibration: Noticeable jerking or vibration when turning tight corners at low speeds (e.g., parking).
- Slipping Acceleration: Hesitation or a feeling of "loss of power" when accelerating from a stop.
- Grinding Noise: Mechanical noise from the center of the vehicle caused by worn clutch material or broken plastic supports.
- 4MATIC Warning Light: Dashboard errors related to traction control or AWD system malfunction.

🔧 Pro Installation Tips (Vital for Longevity)
- Soak Friction Plates: You MUST soak the new friction plates in genuine transfer case fluid (MB 236.14 or equivalent) for at least 30 minutes before installation. Installing dry will cause immediate burnout.
- Reset Adaptations: After rebuilding, you MUST perform a "Transfer Case Adaptation Reset" using a professional scanner (Star/Xentry). Skipping this will cause the car to think the old worn clutches are still there, leading to harsh shifts.
- Check Chain Stretch: While the case is open, inspect your drive chain. This kit rebuilds the clutch stack, but a stretched chain can also cause noise.
