I'm a little embarrased to have to ask this, but I bought my XJ less than a month ago and I didn't get a manual, so what is the proper way to engage and disengage 4wd?
I've been able to get into 4-hi by rolling along at about 5 MPH and pulling into 4-hi.
I can drop it back into 2-hi at any time and it seems to go right back to 2wd no problem. A friend told me I needed to roll in reverse a good distance to "release tension on the transfer case."
To go from 4-hi to neutral and 4-lo, I have to stop and drop the tranny into neutral. Pops right in and I KNOW this is working! Is there any problem running the tranny in drive (or anything other than 1st) while in 4-lo?
Stopping and putting the tranny in neutral again allows me to go to 4-hi and rolling along a little, I can pop it back into 2-hi.
I am able to shift through all ranges, but want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. Also, this is for a NP231 t-case.
I did a search for this, but couldn't find it.
