Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Tried to engage 4L this arvo and the box just wont do it. Its a GQ SWB petrol and AUTO, I have just had the auto recoed less than 20 thousand kays ago. Makes a bloody awfull grinding of gears on the way thru from 2H down to 4L. I have spaced the gearbox down about 20mm to correct the tailshaft angle since fitting my 50mm raised springs, could this be the problem. I got this car from my old man and he has never shifted it from 2H in the 250 thousand kays he had it.
Any help????

transfer case stick is hitting the floor pan because of the gearbox packers.

spot on diagnosis..does the vehical have a body lift? as this will add to the problem also.

No body lift, but makes sense, just read a thread on how to modify the tunnel surround. What do you make of the grinding as I go from 2H to 4H i never really had this in my manual LWB only noticed it in this vehicle.
cheers brunsy.

mine grinds to if the shift isnt a direct, one movement shift if u get what i mean. i tend to turn car of and shift then turn car back on if i get too much grinding. dunno why it happens or how to stop it though. everything works fine though

because it is auto you have to stop , turn car off and change from high 2 and 4. because you dont have a clutch to release drive

Thanks fellas everything works now,
cheers Brunsy

ummm silly question...but couldnt you just put it in nuetral instead of turning the ignition off. that way it would be out of drive.

i can shift from 2 to 4h whilst on the move and only need to stop to go into low range (auto in N) no grinding

same here as long as your in neutral or park and move the stick in one direct motion low range won't grind either .
