Stuck xfer case '97 TJ
Howdy guys, long time no post. Hope you didn't run
out of change yet. From non-use of 4WD, I can't pull the lever to go to 4WH from 2WH. Is it easy to lube the linkage or am I way overdue for a rebuild at 95,000 miles? Last time it worked, I tried 4WL and something was scraping so I went back to 4WH. My Jeep also makes a gear noise when moving. Could it be xfer case? What's a good $$ to have it done. I don't have the tools or space to do it. |

"good question" Could be as simple as linkage slipping or something "really bad." Hard to tell without looking. Best thing I have http://bit.ly/15nleKU <http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f9/transfer-case-shift-linkage-adjustment-701221/> If that's the fix then you really only need a couple of wrenches. An assistant doesn't hurt either. Remember to have the wheels blocked and emergency/parking brake set. Nothing sucks more than your vehicle trying to run you over. -- DougW |

My Jeep also makes >> a gear noise when moving. Could it be xfer case? 4WL should only be used on sand/gravel or really slippery surfaces. It will make lots of noise on hard pavement and is not a good idea to run it that way for any time. (won't kill it outright but it will put stress on everything) >> What's a good $$ to have it done.

I ended up turning around and going the other way which ended being a blessing. Seems no one was getting up the other side of that hill and it was all backed up! |
