Thanks. I'm gonna try that paperclip thing. The airbag light is on and the horn feels like nothing in there. Is that the clock spring? My jeep doesn't have cruise.

Any luck fixin the 4 low?

Smith89

Nope still no luck. Tried yanking it but nothing. Goes about halfway then theres a loud vibrating sound. Thought it sounded like grinding but it's more like vibrating.

Is this the same thing? http://www.autozone.com/autozone/acc...er=310128_0_0_

When I did my SYE install I noticed that my syncro tabs were off the gear. A little pokin around and found how to put them back on - they are held by a flemsy paperclip thin wire and would not stay put long even if you never throw it in 4wd. Nothing bad just makes it difficult to move in and out of 4 low. Going into low you should always come to a stop and move it in while the Tranny is in N. When the syncros are off then it is easier to have the jeep slightly rolling - < 1mph - to help allign the gears for the switch. Same for the moving out of 4 low

Try this. Roll your rig at like 2-5 mph as it's rolling depress brake enough to shift into neutral and then cycle your TC to 4lo. When I first got my Riga a few years back the previous owner never used 4lo so it took me a few times before I was able to use it.

Thanks. I'll let you know if it works.

I see you're pretty new, have you driven a Jeep before? Make sure you're pushing the shift lever to the right before trying to pull it all the way back to neutral and 4-LO. It took me a few minutes to figure that out when I first test drove mine since I'd never delt with a T-case like that. There's a catch there to make sure you don't accidentally shift it on the fly. Just throught I'd throw that out there.

FYI, It's generally a bad idea to buy a vehicle like this with out making sure the drivetrain works.

This is my second jeep. That and the horn were the only things I forgot to check.

X2 It took me a minute to figure it out. Also play with your trans shift lever in neutral while moving the transfer case selector to 4 LO. That works on mine!

Northwoods Snowman

Good point, I have to do this about every time I shift to 4 LO. Most of the time Park won't even work, it has to be Neutral.

Mine worked. Flawless. Till yesterday. Now it won't engage at all
