About Our Remanufactured NP273-NV273 Transfer Case
Reman Transmission sells and ships NP273 Transfer Cases throughout the United States. We are the nation’s premier provider of high-quality, affordable transmissions and transfer cases. We guarantee the most cost-effective products available, and our remanufactured transfer cases are equally or more reliable than new units.
Transfer case rebuilding typically involves only replacing broken parts. Our exacting transfer case remanufacturing process replaces every component with new or re-machined parts that meet or exceed the original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) specifications.
We also repair any observable factory defects that we find during the transfer case remanufacturing process. In many cases, our remanufactured NP273F transfer cases perform better and last longer than a factory transfer case, especially in a model with known fault points.
Our highly skilled mechanics process every transfer case as an individual unit, from tearing it down to testing it after it's been remanufactured. We test every unit for chain stretch, torque rating, and vicious clutching. All seals and bearings are replaced. Case halves are meticulously inspected for stripped threads, cracks, and excessive wear.
Reman Transmission proudly backs up all of our work with an up-to-5-year, unlimited mileage warranty on all remanufactured transfer cases.

Original manufacturer
The original manufacturer of the NP273 transfer case is New Process Gear. The original manufacturer of the NV273 is New Ventrue Gear. It is the same company that changed its name. So, the NP273 lets us know that it is a New Process 273 transfer case rather than a New Venture 273 transfer case, meaning it was manufactured before the company name change.
New Process was a division of the Chrysler Corporation until the name was changed to New Venture. There is still no consensus in the automotive industry about which to use, meaning either name is suitable. NP273 transfer cases were originally manufactured at a facility in East Syracuse, New York. That changed when production shifted to a new assembly facility in Mexico in 2010.
