Thread: Low range select when stopped

Which oil do you have in the transfer case?
It should be 75-90 for an easy shift.
If you already have 75-90 , the shift can be eased by loosening the selector ball a bit. This is located under a grub screw on the outside of the transfer case about half way along up next to the chassis. It should be then re loctited.
You should check that there is nothing wrong with the cable also.

I would have thought that the shift would be OK unless someone has tightened the detent ball grub screw up when reassembling the transfer.
They can often be a bit stubborn .

Has low range been used much? Sometimes if not used for a while they can tighten up. The cure is to regularly select them so the gears get some oil and don't stick. Which reminds me, time to put mine in low and run around the block.

Hey had the same recently after a new TC install, part operator error, part detent ball needed loosening.
