Not going into 4 low after Teraflex 2 low install

northwestxj · Mar 14, 2009

Just got done putting the Teraflex 2 low kit in my 231 and now it's not wanting to go into 4 low. Still have driveshafts disconnected, etc. and am just "dry" shifting it (no fluid in TC) to make sure everything shifts fine but it wont go into 4 low, or even 2 low I suppose for that matter.

Seems to shift into 4 hi fine and the "part time" light comes on, but when I keep going it goes into N and won't go any farther. Just doesn't want to go.

Any ideas of what could be wrong? Thanks.

Linkage adjustment?

I thought about that but haven't messed around with it too much yet (mostly because I'm going to be installing the Novak shift linkage) right after I get this diagnosed. But would it really make it so it wouldn't even get close to going into 4 low though. Esp. when it worked before the install?

Possible. Worth a try, only takes a few min to adjust.

I thought you were supposed to do it with it in 4 low though, can I adjust it in 2wd?

You can. If thats not working, might have to split the case back open and see if its in right.

If the 2 low is in right? Pretty sure it is, seemed like there was really only one way to do it and I'm pretty certain I did it right.

Whats the easiest way to adjust the linkage?

Loosen 13 mil bolt, slide lever inside all the way into 2wd. Make sure TC is in 2wd. Tighten bolt. See if it goes into 4lo and 2 lo. They will be very close together when you shift.

Do I start with it in 2wd as well?

Adjusted the linkage a little bit today and it's working and going into all gears. Thanks for the help Eli. Now I'm starting on my Novak kit.

Novak kits are fun.
