If the vehicle is all wheel drive, having one tire that is smaller than the others (different size or less tread) can damage a transfer case.

Could a bad transfer case cause the rear diff to go bad?
Absolutely. If a vehicle shares fluid between the transfer case and rear diff, the flow will be interrupted if the transfer case goes bad. A fluid pump failure would cause the flow of oil to be cut to both components thus causing a failure. Also, if there is not adequate vacum pressure for the pump system to work, oil cannot be pumped to the rear of the car causing a diff failure.
What is the difference between the transfer case and transmission?
The transmission shifts through gears as your engine rpm increases and your transfer case engages and disengages your jeep in and out of 4 wheel drive. Your transfer case also has gears for 4x4 high or low.
What type of oil is needed for a 1995 Jeep Cherokee rear diff?
The proper gear oil for a basic v8 is 75W-90 gear oil front and back. If you have the tow package with 3.73 gears then factory recommends you use 75W-110 however this is not totally necessary if you do very little towing. You will also want to use limited slip additive in the front axle and rear if you have the 249 transfer case (no 2WD option). If you have the 242 transfer case (selec-trac) then it is optional to place the additive in the rear axle but required in the front.
In a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee LTD when you go to turn a corner the back tires skip and the front will not disengage what do you do?
It's your viscous coupler. That part is located in the rear housing of your transfer case. Likely there is nothing wrong with the transfer case itself, these couplers are a wear item and do not last forever. Mine went at 203,000 miles. You can replace the coupler and avoid the cost of a new transfer case. It's possible to replace it with the transfer case still in the jeep, that's how I did mine. Or you can pull the whole unit if that's something you're comfortable with.The replacement procedure isn't difficult but reaching the snap ring can be a bit tricky with the case in the truck.
