About 4x4 Transfer Box
The Mondeo Ford transfer box is attached to the back of the main gearbox and controls high and low ratios to enable the vehicle to use double the amount of gears of a normal vehicle. Despite the large amount of gears, the Mondeo Ford 4 x 4 transfer box makes it easier to select the gears.
The Mondeo Ford 4 x 4 transfer box, as the name suggests, transfers power to the front prop shaft. This prop shaft is attached to the rear prop shaft with a differential connecting the two. The power that is generated in the front prop shaft is transferred through the differential to the rear prop shaft.
The Mondeo Ford 4 x 4 transfer box can leak oil, which can be noticed either on the Mondeo Ford 4 x 4 transfer box or from the handbrake drum, depending on the location of the leaking seal. This oil leak will cause a loss of power steering. Other signs of a failing transfer box include a whining noise as you accelerate or a tapping noise as you decelerate. These issues can be accompanied with a loss of gears and braking ability.
Ford Mondeo trivia
- The Ford Mondeo did not do well in the US, despite some mad promotions (including a drive from London to New York via the Bering Strait). Perhaps it was the fact that the Mondeo was renamed the Contour in the States? In Europe, however, drivers were queuing up outside showrooms to get their hands on one.
- The Ford Mondeo features in the James Bond film Casino Royale, where it’s driven by Daniel Craig’s Bond. This was the world debut of the Ford Mondeo 2.5-litre ST model, and it can still be seen in the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu as part of the James Bond Experience. Images of the car were leaked by journalists during filming, which annoyed Ford greatly.
- When the Mondeo went on sale in the UK in 1993, it had gone through six years of development and had a production price tag of £3 billion. At the time, that made it the single most expensive car ever produced. Fortunately, the spending paid off.
- By 2014, 4.5 million Mondeos had been sold already.
- There was a point where the Mondeo was the most popular company car in the UK. However, it eventually lost that title to the BMW 3-Series.
