My 1998 Jeep Cherokee Limited wont go in to 4 Low. It goes into 4 wheel drive perfectly fine, but I cant get it to go in to 4 Low. Any ideas on what to do??? Any tricks on getting it in to 4 Low???? I just bought the jeep last week.
Anything helps thanks

 

put the transmission in neutral first

 

I did, still nothing. I tried multiple times too

 

try going into 4 hi then reverse it a little ways. then go into neutral and shift into 4 lo. dont press the brake let your jeep sit where it wants.

 

Ill try it, is it ok if it rolls a little though while trying to put it in to 4 lo?

 

no it should be stopped. look at the linkage on the t case and make sure it is all working and connected

 

Ok cool, Ill check it out and try it, is it possible that the transfer case could be bad?

 

More than likely your transfer case is fine. The most common issue causing no 4-lo is linkage, like the previous poster mentioned. The linkage will need adjusted slightly. have someone shift it from 2 wheel to 4-hi, then try to go to 4-lo. when you do this, you will see how the linkage moves, and can try to adjust it. Sometimes the bolt that "holds it in place" goes bad and slips a little, since 4-lo is kind of it most tension point, out of its positions. But try adjusting it, and it should fix the problem, then go 2wd, and 4-hi and nuetral to make sure everything is in its normal places, and goes and doesn't where it is supposed to. I had to deal with this on my wranger, then again when I put a body lift on... luckily that problemis nixed on a cherokee, as that results in cutting. Good luck, and let us know how it goes.

 

x2 this should work
