Thats cool I wonder if the linkage could just be out of whack.


My guess would be gunk on the lever or the shift actuator is weak. I had a similar issue and all I did was go back and forth with the wrench a few times and it fixed the problem. it could alos be a vacuum leak in one of your hoses. The coupler is not in use in 2wd. If it were bad, you would have issues in 4wd.

Sucess! and Failure

We got the transfer case to shift into 2wd the shift motor wasn't pushing the linkage far enough to make the selction. :occasion14:

The car wouldn't idle at all today. I hadn't done anything to the car as of this morning we started it up it was running on the choke sounded good I tapped the pedal to unset it and it just chugged to a abrupt stop. We suffered through the transfer case diagnosis by setting the car on high Idle. The engine is only pulling 17 in of vacuum I'm of the opinion now that my idle problem and my transfer case problem are related  to the carb. We are going to address that tomorrow with a carb shop over across town and see if we can find a suitable replacement.
