For transmissions with a shared oil system, the oil chambers in the front final drive -3- and in the transfer case -1- are joined via the protective pipe -2-.

The side shaft runs in gear oil in the protective pipe -2-.

Transmissions with a single oil system do not have an oil overflow hole -arrow-.
