Hello, i am having a problem with my nv242hd transfer case, when you try to put it in 4x4 from either moving, neutrel, or stoped it will not engage, if you move the shifter the whole way to 4lo you get a better chance of it engaging. Now when you get it in, and want to go back to 2wheel, it stays in 4, even though the light on dash shuts off, even if your moving, neutrel, or stopped. I had the fluid changed 2 weeks ago, but no difference was detected, does anybody have any ideas? Also the linkage was also adjusted with no difference!

 

To get it out you have to back up on that case. Turn side to side as well and back up a great distance. What happens is axle bind keeps it from disengaging. As for shifting in, it should go in no problem so I would imagine the fork might have an issue.

 

yeah hydra has a good point it might just need a fork adjustment.

 

how do you do that and how expensive if you cant do it yourself?

 

i tooo am interested
