Earlier today i was driving my 92 xj and had it in 4 low just testing to see how everything worked as i just bought it and my transfercase did something really odd i know it sounds stupid but it sounded like it reving like it was grinding and getting faster ive never had this problem with my other Cherokee so im really confused could anyone provide any insight as to wth happened and how i can fix it

Have you checked all the vital fluid levels on your new purchase?

I wonder if the linkage might also not be throwing it in far enough?

cruiser54

Possibly.
But, I'm trying to encourage these newbies to check all the fluids before they go out tearing **** up.

I understand. "Get back to us after you have done this first". lol

cruiser54

Yep.

If you can't do it yourself, have a pro do it.
Beats having a transfer case explode because it was lacking $2.25 worth of fluid.

How are the brakes, motor and trans mounts?

Isuckatusernames

yeah and its supposed to have a new transfer case it definitely looks new

cruiser54

Sure it's full?

Sure your motor mounts and trans mount are good?

You need to get involved here.

EEVEE

What fluid do you use in a trans case? Not trying to hijack the post but i really need to check mine lol.

yeah im sure i crawled all over this thing before buying it and changed most the fluids amd topped off the rest thats why im so confused as to wth is wrong with my transfer case my buddie that was in the jeep with me ant the time thought it was my tranny but that seems far fetched because it stopped when it popped it into 2wd

cruiser54

Good.

Knowing this, I would do the following:

Was it still pulling the vehicle well even though it was making this sound?

If it was jerking and not moving well I can see it as out of adjustment and the gears not engaging fully, but if it is pulling well then it sounds like something else wrong.
