4low shifting
so i was off roading for the other day and actually go into a situation where i need for low and this was my first time really using it, and i have a feeling i was not shifting in right or like doing something right, because from first 2 sec like going up a hill i basicly stopped and then it jerked me forward, so i sorta feel stupid but is there a certain way your sup to shift when ur in 4wheel low?

to shift into 4LOW, you just have to slow down to less than 5MPH i think it is, shift into Neutral, and then shift the transfer case all the way down into 4LOW. That should take care of any problems at first and otherwise, just take it slow in low range.
I also have an automatic though so when you say you stopped and jerked before you went up the hill, it may have something to do with the manual transmission but i wouldnt know cause i have never driven one |
I coast ever so slightly in neutral then kick it to low.

X3 very little roll then trans in neutral then shift to Lo range.

oh no i dont mean shifting into for low i mean litterly shifting from first to second, its a manual
|
you've just got to baby it with the clutch a little more and dont give it too much gas when letting out the clutch. Find the sweet spot where its about to engage and let it out really slowly from there. (just not so slow that you make toast).
there is a huge amount of torque available with the 4:1 xfer case. alot of times in 1st, you can creep over things without giving it gas. Shifting into second just requires a tender touch to avoid the jerks. |

so i sorta feel stupid but is there a certian way your sup to shit when ur in 4wheel low? Seriously though, like everyone else said- very slow roll, with the tranny in N, then shift the T-case into 4 lo. I'd add that shifting into 4 lo hasn't given me any trouble, but I did have a hard time shifting from 4 lo back up to 4 hi the first time. Edit: N/M. I saw later on that you meant shifting gears with the tranny while the T-case was in 4 lo. I have an auto, so I can't help you there. In the old Cherokee we used to have, it wasn't hard to shift gears in 4 lo, but totally different vehicle. Jason |
