hey guys a new 4x4 issue has shown up. my 4x4 works fine in high, 4x4 light stays on(vacuum related) but i cannot get it in 4x4 low. tried with engine on and rolling, engine on at a stand still, and engine off, all 3 times it was in neutral. also tried it with engine off in park. would not go into at all. could this be a snap ring issue, or something different?

 

have you bounced that thing off road any? could you have jarred the linkage any and bound it?

 

hasnt been off road since i replaced my transmission last summer. like i said 4 high, 2 high, and neutral work flawlessly, but 4 lo is fighting me and refuses to go in.

 

with engine off...
observe the linkage from underneath while an assistant pushes on the shift handle. see if you can bump it a little more in the right direction.

 

I'd would check the snap ring for sure.

Btw, are you still driving around with no TC lock up or overdrive?

 

gonna have to check the snap ring tomorrow or tuesday on one of my days off. as for od and lock up, still driving with out it. cant afford the parts just yet.

 

That's too bad, meanwhile you are wasting a lot of gas money. Just saying thats all. I know the rough times man. let me know when you can fix it, I know exactly what you need to do.

 

im averaging 10mpg costs me between 70-85 a week, depending on how much i drive. hopefully, ill have the cash for it in about 3-4 weeks. gotta pay off some things first.

 

Well let me know, take a drive and I'll help you do it.

 

what parts do i need exactly? ill be ordering from wittrans.com so l;inks would be great!
