The Jeep manual reads:
"With the vehicle rolling at 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h), shift an automatic transmission to Neutral or depress the clutch pedal on a manual transmission. While the vehicle is coasting at to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h), shift the transfer case lever firmly through Neutral and into the low-range position."
"Shifting into or out of 4WD low-range is possible with the vehicle completely stopped, however, difficulty may occur due to the teeth of the gears not being properly aligned. The preferred method to engage the low-range is to slow down to 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h) and put the transmission in Neutral. While still moving forward, move the shift lever firmly into the four-low position. Then return the transmission to the desired gear. Refer to your owner's manual for detailed instructions."
Some Jeeps engage better while slightly moving, and others lock in while stopped. Slightly moving or completely stopped???
I am so confused... I read you can break clips, bushings and other things while stopped... Now, I'm a little nervous about which way is the best so I don't break anything.
This shifting of the transfer case is something that I will need to practice and develop a feel for. Although, it does seem my Rubicon is a tad finicky when it comes to shifting into 4 wheel lo.
How do you shift into 4W Lo? slightly moving or stopped?
