I Went to sell my long loved jeep today and seemed to have it in the
bag, that is until i went to throw it in 4 wheel. The jeep clunks
when i try to engage in 4 wheel or 4 low. The noise seems to come
from the transfer case. Just looking for a ballpark idea of what i
might be up against. Its an 86 CJ7 with a 5 speed T-140

Thanks in advance!

If it goes into 4wd the clunk is normal. There are no synchros to
line up the gears. Far as I know all transfer cases clunk.

This is somewhat true. The trick is to get it in smoothly. Some do
best at a stand still in neutral with a stick or park with a automatic
and brakes helpd and some do better when it is rolling at a few MPH
and in neutral. (BTW, even in neutral a automatic provdes some drive
to output shaft hence reason park if standing still with automatic)
