4wd to 2wd?

Jennyjeep · Mar 3, 2023

I have a 2005 Kj with the part time 4x4 high. When I switch into 4high I have no issues but to put it into 2high I have to reverse a bit before 4wd disengages. Is this normal?

Yes that is normal for part time 4x4.

I wouldn't say normal - but not uncommon, nor consistant.

Good to know, have you or anyone you know had this problem and if so how to the fix it?

try shifting the transmission into neutral then try changing the transfer case.

While rolling slowly.

Not had this issue with the KJ (although not used 4WD that much) but in XJ's (same TC) that can help but only experienced any problems coming out of PT 4WD &, particularly, 4low.

I usually don't have to be moving to change modes. I'm convinced it's related to me having a stick shift. with the clutch in the drive line is decoupled and has the ability to move just enough as needed. Hence why I suggested shifting the transmission into neutral. probably should have also said foot off the brake as well.

Hadn't occurred to me the technique might be different with a manual, certainly the driver's manual doesn't make a distinction.

Did you do this while the car in movement? This is the best option! If you do it while car is not running, you will have to put reverse do that it can disengage.

2H to 4H and back again need to be moving.
