RR SYE Issues
My neighbor installed a RR SYE on his Xj and it's not working properly. Since his install he can shift from 2wd-4hi-neutral but it will not shift into 4 low.
When he has the case taken apart everything looks good it shifts proper through all gears but when he installs it in the XJ it won't shift into low. His linkage is not bent it seized either.
Does anyone have any thoughts ?

I have read that the shift fork needs to be grinded down on SOME transfer cases. I think the older ones. There are threads on this issue that might help.

I just did the same kit in mine. If I remember correctly, you have to make sure the shifter is in 4LO (may be another position) before you take it apart. Sounds like he's almost there, maybe something minor. Also, there's a possibility that he put something on wrong (I'm thinking the new output shaft). As I recall, the instructions weren't the most detailed I'd ever seen. I had to get online and view a few threads and videos to make sure I did everything right.

The sye tail housing is binding on the shift fork rod ,tell him to loosen the bolts on the tail housing there is enough play in the bolt holes to move the housing away from the shift fork rod it does not take much for this to happen.
