Thread: Transfer Case Query

Check the vehicle handbook for the correct method of tfr case engage/disengage before you take any drastic action.

I think your experience is "normal". Auto changes the way you do it!

If it's been in high range non diff lock all it's life it will be a bit stiff. You'll probably find it will loosen up the more you put it into the other positions. Even then they can be a bit temperamental.
Don't force it you'll only break or bend something.

It's not so much the fact that it's stiff that annoys me but the fact that I'll pretty much always have to change into drive and reverse etc before the lever will go anywhere.

I agree with WayneP, I think that it's just due to lack of use. In time it should become less problemmatic.

Best Wishes,

Mine was the same as it had a pampered life before I bought it and never left the bitumen. It has loosened up over the last year but every now and then it will need to be slotted into drive to get it to engage.

Rightio, thanks.

ahh sluge boxes... try this...

just before you stop select nuetral and let the vehicle come to a halt while you maintain effort on the tcase selection lever that should quickly sort out the low high thing... ITs not the right way to do it but so long as you keep the main transmission in nuetral and only do it at only just moving speeds you will be fine so long as you dont overdo it. Once it frees up move back to doing it properly.

Will do. Thanks.
