OD to Neutral lock out?

98stocker · Jan 26, 2009

97 with 4.0 and AW4 and 231. I thought there was a lock out between OD and neutral so that you had to press the button in order to shift out of OD into neutral. This morning I thought I was in D and pushed the shifter up to get into OD. Found that I had actually been in OD already and it popped right into N.

Is my memory of a lock out between OD and N wrong?

no lockout that I recall-- it'll slide right into neutral w/out the button here.

Oh well, guess I just lost what was left of my mind... hehehe.

And that's a good thing, too. If you're driving in the snow and have to come to a stop where you're needing to pulse the brakes (sans ABS, of course), I've found dropping the transmission in to neutral real quickalike can help you stop faster. Keeps the transmission from trying to push forward in between brake pulses.
