hi, i have a 4 cyl 99 tj. when i shift from 4hi to 2wd there is a
kind of chunk sound, when this happens you can also feel when it drops
into gear. while driving in 4hi, it seems to be somewhat sluggish as
well, has anyone had this issue before? and if anyone has, what work
needed to be done to fix the problem?
thanks
pat

 

Plus, I think Pat may be on good traction and the drive train is in
a big time bind and popped like Hell when it was disengaged. Luckily it
waited until in was shifted before it popped.

What I do is unload the transfer case by either coasting a bit or backing up
before trying to shift to 2wd. Of course I have been working with
mechanical equipment for so long I can look through the floor boards and
tell whether the transfer case is bound up or not. Sometimes I don't even
look, because I can just feel it...

That's what I'm thinking too, Bill.
Pat, are you on pavement when you are doing this? If so, don't do
that.
