I need some advice on troubleshooting my NP231J.
Have owned my '96 Sport for about a year and operated in 4WD last year w/ no trouble. About 2 months ago, started noticing a slight leak from transfer case, which I hear is not uncommon for this t-case.
Last weekend, was in snowy conditions and went to engage 4WD Hi which produced an awful grinding noise and vibrations when going to accelerate. Drove home in 2WD and checked fluid level which was fine.
Questions:
What might be the cause of the problem? What should I do first? Check/adjust linkage then open the case to check for damage?
