the transfer case is the reason THE DIFF IS OFF SET from a transmission point of view >if you take the twist or torque coming out of the transission > power transmission into the TRANSFER CASE is divided equaly between the two gears and supporting bearings in the T case > This princple that was incorperated into the transfer case is used in modern truck transmissions ie road ranger and mack use double and triple counter shaft trannys > that priciple is the t cases advance design because the power wagon is not overly powerfull in the engine , torque multilpcation in the axles ,hence the low numerical gearing (reduction) again in the low range of the transfer case (again reduction) and in the low gears of the transmission (further reduction) so the transfer case has to be built with turning the rear gears or dividing the torque out of the case and has made the T case offset You could not build a light enough or strong enough T case with out the two gears (the noisy) ones abilty to share the torque multiplication ~ Copey
