Ok let me start off by saying I know there is a million and one threads about this.
But I feel like my situation is unique.

Just got everything together on my 2wd to 4wd swap. aw4, 231.
Minus the front axle.
I planned on running the dead axle until I get my D30 build up a little bit.
So obviously I am not shifting it out of 2wd, so I didnt bother to connect the linkage for the tcase.

I shifted everything by hand on the tcase,
And connected the trans shifter linkage.

The car is rolling freely in park.
I would atempt to adjust my pawl, but I honestly have no idea how to.
My first question is,

-Would running no front axle have any affect on the parking pawl?
I could use the handbrake for now but eventually this is an issue that I need to address.
Any insite would be greatly appreciated.

 

Are you sure the T/C is in 2 hi and not neutral? Does the vehicle drive at all when it's in gear? You don't adjust the pawl, it's there or it isn't.

 

Like stated I would make sure that your T-case is actually in two wheel drive and not in neutral. If your actually in two wheel then I would start looking at the transmission. I have never heard of "adjusting" a parking paul. Last I knew they were not adjustable. Hope someone here can explain if they are adjustable.

 

Ah I am an idiot, yea it was in neutral.
Havent had a chance to drive it yet thanks!

Im not sure thats why I was asking haha

 

Cool man, on to the next hurdle.
