My Jeep is 1997 with the NP242 Selec-Trac transfer case. The transfer case was rebuilt about 2 years ago.
In any case, my wife mostly drives this and has been complaining about making turns. It may sound like she drove it a lot in this state, but actually she drove to the stop sign and turned around to come home -- about 100 yards. I was getting ready to change the u-joints, but after doing some detective work, I think the u-joints are fine for now.
My heep is getting stuck in PT-4wd. The indicator light is off, but all of the symptoms of driving on pavement in pt-4wd are there. What really clenched the diagnoses was that the symptoms disappeared when I put it back in FT-4WD -- where it will stay until fixed.
I thought I knew all of the tricks -- putting in neutral -- driving backwards a few feet, punching the accellerator for a few seconds, etc., but I am finding that the tricks are no longer working. I searched this problem on this forum and seems common. I am starting a new thread to ask for some more detail on fixing the problem.
I also noticed that a lot of people discussed the linkage. Could someone give me some more info. on the linkage? Can it be adjusted without dropping the transfer case? Also, what else could it be, if not the linkage? Any help would be appreciated?
