2000 Wrangler 4WD shifter
Just purchased a 2000 Wrangler 4.0 Automatic. Seems the indicator
light does not light when shifting from 2H to 4H. Is this common? It also grinds when going to 4L. Going to neutral in the tranny helps but it does not seem right. |

THeir are two methods to use. THe first is to leat vehcile roll at 2 to 5 MPG amd make shift quickly during this time to 4LO. THe second method that I use all the time is to stop vehicle and firmily hold brakes and place in park and still firmly hold brakes and then firmly shift into 4LO. This works maybe 98% of the time but occaisionally it may no align properly to complete shift. If this happens, place tranny in neutral for a a second or less and then back to park and complete shift keeping brake on all the time. When you hold brake and then place in park it takes drive train preload off Tcase and tranny will send some drive through even in neutral (enough to spin gears when shifting and cause them to clash sometimes hence the method listed above) The second method works from 4LO to 2 or 4 HI too. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com |

Re: 2000 Wrangler 4WD shifter
If I remember right the shifter light should come if your 4 wheel
drive or not. and as for the 4 wheel low try maybe slowing down to like about 5 mph but I always stop before going to 4 wheel drive low. Hope this helps Jamie |

Unless there is danger of the vehicle rolling, there is no reason to apply the brakes. And, a slight roll is good for the effort to select 4LO. All you need do is come to a stop, or very slow -- say, walking speed -- and select N on the transmission and 4LO. The gears in the tcase are not syncronized so they are likely to grind a bit unless they are going the same speed |
