slips out of 4 wheel drive (low)

Dec 08, 2003 4 Replies

My 95 Jeep Cherokee 4.0 aw4 tranny and np242 transfer case slips out of 4wheel drive low. After passing neutral into low it will stay and when I go it will slip out into neutral again. If I hold the shifter in place all is ok. It works fine in 4wd regular.



Thanks Hank form pa



That can be a symptom of a bad engine or tranny mount.

My Rubicon will do that half the time if I try to engage low from a stop. The solution is to either do it (and do it fast - don't pause in neutral at all) while you are hardly moving or to hold the lever in low until you feel it catch when you ease off the clutch or give it gas if you have auto. Once the gears catch it always stays in 4lo just fine.

My 02 TJ was doing that after I installed my lift. The lever itself needed to be adjusted, it wasn't anything wrong with the drivetrain. Quick 60 second fix.

I want to thank all for your help.
