Put it in drive and see what happens. When my tc was in neutral it didn't matter what gear she was in. But I've got the 231 though. Don't really imagine it would be any different really if in neutral. But the 242 is a whole different beast though. Apples to oranges really.

i did i put it in every gear reverse drive neutral ect. along with the transfer case put it in 4 lo 4 hi neutral. it basically feels like the trans is in neutral at all time it will not move and to add when in park it still rolls like the parking pin isnt engaging
