97 Jeep Cherokee 4wd - 4wd Won't disengage
I have the 4 low - 2 high and 4 high options for the transfer case. My
neighborhood isn't plowed normally so soem morning I have to start out
in 4 high until I hit the main street. Then it might take 10-15 minutes
to diesngage and lately when it finally disengages there is a massive
pop when it disengages. I have tried going into reverse a few feet and
then driving off but that doesn't seem to work.

Re: 97 Jeep Cherokee 4wd - 4wd Won't disengage
Just a quick question. Are you stopping the Jeep and putting the
transmission in neutral before shifting from 4H to 2H?

Re: 97 Jeep Cherokee 4wd - 4wd Won't disengage
Jerry,
If it is an automatic, then it probably is necessary. Although
"theoretically" or according to the owner's manual one should be able to
shift between 4H and 2H almost any time, if the drive line is loaded it
isn't going to happen. I found this out when my wife had a '97 Cherokee
with automatic. For some reason, she tried to shift the transfer case in
the middle of a snow bound parking lot at the ski area. Once she got it in
neutral, it refused to come out, until we had put the transmission in park.
After all the grinding that I heard, while I was in the condo putting on my
boots, we traded the vehicle in. I never did find out whether this was
considered normal behavior or not.
With my Wrangler, which is manual transmission, I step on the clutch, just
out of force of habit, before shifting anything.
