Hello,
I had some issues getting into four wheel drive the other day. I haven't had any issues with my transfer case prior to this, but i have been meaning to drain and fill my NP242 for a while now, but this recent issue inspired me to do it asap.
The stuff i drained was fairly dark. But not black. With a decent amount of tiny silver pieces. Nothing too big. It only drained about .8 liters. So it was definitely low.
Filled it back up with conventional dex3
As soon as i put it in drive i noticed an unfamiliar grinding sound. It sounds like its coming from directly below the four wheel drive shifter.
Initially i thought the fluid might need a chance to disperse throughout the case. I drove it to work today and its still happening. I cant say that i hear anything strange when actually driving. But the jeep is fairly loud.
I definitely notice it at 0 mph in drive and in reverse.
It seems to be shifting in and out of 4x4 okay after the new fluid.
I'm guessing I will need to remove the Tcase and see how it looks inside...?
That seems like it will be a big DIY project for me. I like to try and work on my own stuff but have never messed with drivetrains and transmission stuff
It's a 98 Cherokee classic. So it has the part time and fill time options
