Default 4WD and reverse problems.

Ive got a 1989 XJ. Recently changed out motors. both I6. I went to use my 4WD yesterday and nothing. Vacuum lines are hooked up to the front axle. All the vacuum lines are hooked up. Also when u drop it into reverse is studders. You give it gas and it doesnt make it any eaiser. Im thinking about selling the jeep and get something more reliable. Newer jeep. I wanna try and save it thou.

I'm terrible with older XJ's, but there's still linkage to tcase right? Might need adjustment. Vac line cracked? Stutter could be a sensor related issue? Dunno man..

My money's on the vacuum system for the front axle gone to ****. Just do this and be done with it.
