Re: Clunk after switching from 4hi
 

Eric:

It's the turn on dry pavement that is the problem. The drivetrain will bind
up almost instantly during a turn. The sharper the turn, the quicker and
harder the drivetrain will bind up. Turns on dry pavement while in 4WD are a
definite NO NO.

I will definitely avoid this in the future. Could I have done any permanent
damage?!? It seems to work just fine when I'm not doing anything stupid
like turning onto dry pavement...

When I shift from 4hi to 2hi at speed, I usually let off the throttle
for a brief instant right after shifting the lever. This unloads the
drivetrain and allows the transfer case to disengage easier.

Re: Clunk after switching from 4hi
 

Same here; I not only let off the throttle, but I go ahead and put the
clutch in so I make sure there is absolutely no input from the
engine/tranny side of the t-case. In the case of turning a corner from
a slushy road onto a dry main road, I will usually use 4wd, 1st gear
to get going, and then put the clutch in, shift to second, AND pop it
into two wheel, if the road is dry, right before begin turning the
wheel to aim down the main road. No binding occurs, but I get to take
advantage of the 4wheel to easily start from the light.
