Hello
I'm the new owner of 2003 Tacoma and it is my first 4-wheel drive vehicle I have owned. I have a question regarding shifting in low 4-wheel drive. According to the manual, before shifting into low 4 - the vehicle should be stopped- auto transmission set in neutral - then shift the lever into low 4.
When I do this I can feel the gears (not smooth as when shifting from normal high 2 wheel drive to high 4 wheel drive) in the lever when shifitng in low
- After I shift into drive to proceed, the truck lurchs forward (similar to a beginner driving a standard transmission car). This happens just after I go forward in low 4 at the beginning. Is this normal? I'm not much of a mechanic but I'm wondering if the timing of the automatic disconnecting differential needs adjustment?
Thanks in advance for your response.
