4 wheel question

[robslibby]

This may sound dumb but I used my 4-lo today for the first time and it was really hard to shift out of, I was stopped and not moving and the shifter felt like it was locked and even as I pushed it down it would not budge I have a manual and the shifter was in neutral.

You need to be rolling 2-3 mph in neutral. O

which brings up a good point... What is the max speed you can go in 4 low?

25mph. I dont believe Ive ever been close to that. Maybe when the tires are spinning.. But thats it. O

Do you think I might of caused damage to my transfer case trying to get it back to 2 wheel, it did go back after a couble of times.

 

[ScottZ0]

probably not, but you need to make sure next time you follow the directions in the manual.

 

[Bennett]

Yea, probably not... It's a tough critter. Next time just creep along slowly when shifting the transfer case.

Mine goes into 4w-lo easiest when stopped and in neutral, usually grinds just a little when coasting at 2-3mph

Mine too.

I think the manual says you are supposed to be moving 2-3mph because there is no syncromesh in 4lo. Mine slips right in when stopped and in the rare instance that it doesn't, I take my foot off the brake and let the Jeep inch forward and it goes right in. No grinding gears.

When shifting into 4lo it is not a straight pull back but a very "little" to the right - away from you - after you go through neutral in the t-case - (with the ****** in neutral also) and then straight back. If you are pulling the lever straight back you will get more resistance. I think it is this way so you don't shift into 4lo by accident.

It could be a little stiff because it's new and needs a little breaking in.

Good excuse to get on some dirt and try it - ha ha........
