Not sure how many of you are familiar with the hewitt ave. tressle up here in everett, no sholders for most of it 55 mph and no way on or off its the end of highway 2 into everett. Story starts this morning with me driving the 1985 cherokee I was given home. Picked up a 3 day temp permit so I could get it through emissions. Headed back into everett across the tressle and just as I was climbing up the far end on the tressle (the part with no shoulder) I lost the tranny. Nothing, had to coast to a stop blocking one of 2 lanes. I was sitting there frantically shifting throught drive reverse and what not to no availe. After about 3 minutes of this an under cover sheriffs depudy pulls up behind me in a chevy truck comes up and says he has to call a tow truck because he doesn't have push bars. I'm thinking "great my free jeep is going to cost me a couple hundred in towing bills". the officer started back to his truck and then doubled back and asked if the transfer case was in nuetral. Looked down and sure enough, this jeep has the NP242 AWD and the transfer case lever goes stright from drive to nuetral then low. It had vibrated out of the high position and was sitting in nuetral. Poped it back and drove off feeling really dumb.:anon: At least the officer kept me from a tow bill.
