Knucklehead97 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Well i didnt know where else to ask this, so. But anyways. My brothers cherokee for some reason won't swap into 2wd. And it can't be the linkage cause it doesnt exist currently. What could do this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 The non existent linkage isn't adjusted properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimoshel Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Without linkage how are you trying to SHIFT the TC? I would assume you're reaching up from underneath and moving, or trying to move the shift lever by hand. Is the lever moving at all? Is it moving into, out of all 4 positions OK? 2H-4H-N-4L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead97 Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 It seems to shift fine. Just all but neutral has the front shaft moving. I didnt get to mess with it very long though. I'm gonna shift it alot and hope itll come out. Also at slow speeds theres a soft thump underneath the truck, could this sound be part of it? And yes, i reach up underneath to shift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geonovast Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Just pull the front shaft out until you get linkages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead97 Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 I think I'm gonna find neutral, that will tell which is 4l cause itll be the next one. Then just go the opposite way till it stops and it should be 2h. I think at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexia Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 2WD is the lever on the transfer case pushed all the way forward towards the front of the vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knucklehead97 Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 here's another thing ive been wondering. Is the lever on the t-case supposed to be more so pointing up in all the selections? My father had done some stuff to the truck and i didny know what, i think he was working on a upward pointing lever to make a stronger linkage, i just don't know if he actually ever made the lever point a different way. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexia Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 No, the lever should be pointing towards the ground, but it can be flipped upside down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knucklehead97 Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 That explains alot about why the linkage parts i actually have, didnt seem to work or line up. Gonna get that swapped over and get the last linkage piece from a junkyard soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
