Geonovast Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Low fluid can cause the fork in the TC to not want to slide back. Worn out spring can do the same. I'd drop the front shaft until you get it figured out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is your front end binding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aemsee Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Which case is it, a 231 or a 242? (Commandtrac vs selectrac). If it is a 242, often mismatched tires or even one tire low on air can make the fork bind when coming out of 4wd because of driveline loading. Did you look underneath to make sure everything is still hooked up with the linkage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithe1811 Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 yup, its binding on pavement. i beleive its a 242 but the tires are matched and have proper inflation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I had my GC with selectrac I remember reading threads like this about unbinding it. http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=6073514 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
