Slipping in 4x4 low
I recently bought a 2000 Cherokee Classic, and have just noticed what
feels like slipping when I am in 4x4 low. I get to about 5-10kmh, and I hear/feel a clunk, like the gear is engaging. It is repeatable when I come to complete stop and accelerate up again. Any ideas? TIA Sheila Vancouver BC |
Re: Slipping in 4x4 low
A u-joint going bad will cause symptoms like that.
So can a bad engine or tranny mount. If your driveshafts have slip joints in them, a lack of grease there can also cause it. A control arm bushing gone bad also. A few ideas for you.

You're not by any chance feeling/hearing those symptoms while you are
driving on pavement are you? wedontdoit@hotmail.com wrote: > I recently bought a 2000 Cherokee Classic, and have just noticed what > feels like slipping when I am in 4x4 low.

I first noticed what felt like binding in the rear, as I was stuck in a very long traffic jam (45 minutes of inching forward around a bend, up on a curved roadway), that would disappear as I shifted out of low (1-2 Automatic Transmission), into neutral. It went away as the road flattened out, but we decided to check all the gears, and that's when this was noticed. I never noticed it on the last 98 Cherokee Sport I had. Thanks for your help.
