just wondering if anyone with a transfer case in a sierra 88 model or similar has had any trouble shifting from 4L back to 2H and getting stuck somewhere in 4N? any help would be great. cheers

i think it occurs when the drive line gets wound up


best bet is to reverse a little and try shit afta that

as rb said, could be wind up, or even a worn shifter sheet, little nylon bush, $13.50 from suzuki parts.

try unlocking the hubs and driving forward a bit mine always goes in easy after I do that.

make sure your wheels are pointing straight ahead

the way i got it in gear last time was by taking out the gear leaver and getting a screw driver in there and getting a few mates to rock it with the hand brake on. has anyone had one apart? are they complex? because when i pulled the leaver out there was a heap of dirt and general crap in the top, and the "shifter sheet" where is that located? at the bottom of the leaver, because there wasnt one there at all. i was thinking of pulling it down cleaning it out.

bingo :) The shifter sheet is a rubber ring that just presses into the base of the shifter, where the dirt and crap is :lol:

Go to suzuki and get one they're about $10

The old one is probably still there but really worn and small and covered in grease so you can't see it. Get a flat blade screwdriver and fish around a little. If not there it could be in the case :?
