VX4 V-Drive Four-Wheel-Drive System Schematic - Drivetrain Component Diagram
Driveline schematic of the VX4 four-wheel-drive system showing engine, transmission, transfer case, drive shafts and axles.
This document is a labeled line-drawing schematic of a 'VX4' four-wheel-drive drivetrain layout, viewed from above. It shows the engine connected to the transmission, which feeds into a V-axle transfer case. From the transfer case, a rear drive shaft runs back to the rear axle, and a front drive shaft (enclosed in or associated with a torque tube) runs forward to wheel gear units at each front wheel. The callouts identify eight major components: rear axle, rear drive shaft, V-axle transfer case, transmission, engine, front drive shaft, torque tube, and wheel gear unit. The caption at the bottom reads 'VX4 ® FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE'. A reader can learn the general power-flow arrangement of this V-drive style 4WD system — notably that the front wheels are driven through torque tubes and individual wheel gear units rather than a conventional solid front axle with a centered differential. The document contains no year, make, model, part numbers, torque specifications, or fuse/wiring data; it is purely an illustrative component-identification diagram. It appears to be one page of a multi-page set covering the V-Drive system.

Frequently asked questions
- What components make up the VX4 four-wheel-drive system?
- The diagram labels an engine, transmission, V-axle transfer case, rear drive shaft, rear axle, front drive shaft, torque tube, and wheel gear units at the front wheels.
- How is power routed to the front wheels in the VX4 system?
- Power flows from the engine through the transmission to the V-axle transfer case, then through front drive shafts and torque tubes to individual wheel gear units at each front wheel.
- What connects the transfer case to the rear axle in the VX4 layout?
- A rear drive shaft runs from the V-axle transfer case back to the rear axle.
- What is the transfer case called in this diagram?
- It is labeled the 'V-AXLE TRANSFER CASE'.
