4x4
 
I am stuck in four wheel drive. I cant get back into two. Any ideas what to look for?

mike.2492 04-08-2010 06:37 PM

Does it stay in 4wheel dive when the lever is in the two wheel drive position or is the lever stuck in the 4 wheel drive position?

RoyalXJ 04-08-2010 06:38 PM

can you switch it from underneath manually???

Carl48 04-08-2010 06:59 PM

Drive it in reverse for a bit then try to shift to 2wd... driveline may be bound up.

The lever is in 2wd but im driving in 4wd. How can you switch it manually? I tried driving in reverse for about 50 yards.

the little tabs on the shift forks in the tc may be worn out and not moving the hub in there enough. see how much play you have on the linkage going from the shifter to the tc. also is there any strange noises?

NW Cherokee 04-09-2010 12:55 AM

There isnt any strange noise. I will check it out tomorrow morning. It was in 2wd couple days ago and then I wheeled it and after it wouldnt shift back into 2wd so I drove I have been driving in 4wd alll day.:sad:

89stroker 04-09-2010 01:01 AM

yeah its a pain to drive like that. i cant go at all in 4x4 on pavement at all. check it out and get back to us. tc might need to be rebuilt. i did mine its not that hard to take out

NW Cherokee 04-09-2010 01:21 AM

Yeah I will write back tomorrow. I have to drive to school though which sucks 25 miles one way in 4x4 and my fuel gauge went out so I have to put like 20 bucks in because I have no idea where I stand.

89stroker 04-09-2010 01:22 AM

yeah u get that feeling "**it i dont want to run out" lol been there a few times and have forgot and ran out of go juice

NW Cherokee 04-09-2010 01:31 AM

Hahahaha, happened to me already when it first went out. I was driving out to my friends place from in town and as soon as I heading about 1/4 mile out of town I died. soo lucky I wasnt out way further so i just walked to get gas.

89stroker 04-09-2010 01:56 AM

lmao keep a lil 2 gallon can then u can save the energy from walking for something better haha

NW Cherokee 04-10-2010 01:46 AM

:tank:I got it. I can change it manually underneath! So, that being said I have to fix the linkage to the lever of the transfer case. Sweet, at least I can switch it in and out of 4x4 now! haha

dyte2004 04-10-2010 03:03 AM

try putting it in reverse and going to drive without stopping works for me somtimes have to do it a few times also go to 4 low and back to 2 high a few times

NW Cherokee 04-10-2010 10:47 PM

Yeah I did the reverse thing it's just not connecting. I just go under and change it manually.
