I took my Jeep in to have the transmission 32rh rebuilt and the NP231 transfer case serviced (chain, pump, seals etc). I got it back a few months ago but it pretty much went into storage waiting for the time to take it out to play.
I have the opportunity to run a trail Saturday. This got me out to the garage to start loading up the Jeep and tiding up a few unfinished projects. It dawned on me that I have not run the transfer case through it paces to are sure it shifts in and out of 4wd properly.
Here is what I found:
I will likely take it back to they shop since I have to work every day before the upcoming trip but I am curious what you guys think might be going on
I have the opportunity to run a trail Saturday. This got me out to the garage to start loading up the Jeep and tiding up a few unfinished projects. It dawned on me that I have not run the transfer case through it paces to are sure it shifts in and out of 4wd properly.
Here is what I found:
- When the Jeep is in neutral, and you apply the gas it drives slowly forward. Not rolls. It moves very slowly under power.
- Shifting from 2h to 4h works as expected (drive slow firm yank on the shifter) in 8/10 times
- Can’t get it to shift to 4 low ( rolling very slowly with trans in neutral). Pulling the transfer case lever just hits a wall and won’t shift. It does t bring, the lever just won’t move.
- Sometimes with the engine off and the transmission in park, I can shift from 2h all the way through to 4 low like butter but not predictable.
I will likely take it back to they shop since I have to work every day before the upcoming trip but I am curious what you guys think might be going on
