2000 Wrangler 4WD shifter

SHifting into 4x4 low can be a bit challanging at time to do it and avoid crunching. THeir are two methods to use. THe first is to leat vehcile roll at 2 to 5 MPG amd make shift quickly during this time to

4LO. THe second method that I use all the time is to stop vehicle and firmily hold brakes and place in park and still firmly hold brakes and then firmly shift into 4LO. This works maybe 98% of the time but occaisionally it may no align properly to complete shift. If this happens, place tranny in neutral for a a second or less and then back to park and complete shift keeping brake on all the time. When you hold brake and then place in park it takes drive train preload off Tcase and tranny will send some drive through even in neutral (enough to spin gears when shifting and cause them to clash sometimes hence the method listed above) The second method works from 4LO to 2 or 4 HI too.

If I remember right the shifter light should come if your 4 wheel drive or not. and as for the 4 wheel low try maybe slowing down to like about 5 mph but I always stop before going to 4 wheel drive low. Hope this helps Jamie

There is if you want to use the method above because my why freezes everything with brakes and park. BTW during winter I may shift in and out of 4x4 20 to 30 times a day plowing snow and maybe half that amout of more into lo range is snow is tuff. I cannot have it clashing and last 10 years and more doing this.

Again there is the moving way that can grind and there is the no grind method that I use. I guess if you like grinding them, use his method here.
