Q: Are transfer cases engine specific? For example can I put a used 3.7L Transfer case in my car if my car is a 5.7L 4WD 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee

asked by on November 21, 2016

My transfer case is broken in my Jepp grand Cherokee 05 So I found a used one with 90,000 miles on a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee but it is a 3.7L and my jeep is a 5.7 L 4WD, does this matter?
