A transfer case for a vehicle having front and rear axles includes three
input clutches connected to first, second and third members of a
planetary gear set. First and second transfer chains are connected to
each other and operatively engageable between the planetary gear set and
the front and rear axles. At least one of the transfer chains is
connected with a member of the planetary gear set. A four wheel drive
clutch is operative to selectively connect the front and rear axles. The
four wheel drive clutch and three input clutches are selectively
engageable to provide three speed ratios and four wheel drive.
