My 2005 TJ 4 wheel drive linkage was all rusted and the bushings deteriorated, so I was stuck on 4 hi. I replaced the entire assembly with an all new cable system, so much easier to shift now.

Ya I hear the cable is so much better. I need to do the upgrade myself

I’m trying to figure out my posilok on my 87 YJ. Last weekend it seemed the front axle did not help/turn when I got wedged in between some rocks and my passenger rear tire was off the ground. I had no movement but I thought me posilok was engaged. I finally got out by stuffing rocks under the high tire. I was always in 4 low. If my posilok was engaged on my front axle what should have happened? If is wasn’t engaged what should have happened? Completely stumped.

Maybe someone else has some insight on this but I’ve never had any experience with a posilok myself so I can’t say

I have a 1997 Jeep Wrangler Sport 5 speed manual and am new to 4WD. I have a lever. So you’re saying I don’t have to be at a complete stop to shift into 2L or 4L? What’s the purpose of 2L?

@SmokinMonkeyOG Жыл бұрын

There’s no 2L in a stock wrangler. Only if you buy an upgraded transfer case will you have 2L. Yours has 2HI 4HI and 4LO. You can shift between 2HI and 4HI while driving but you must be at a complete stop and in neutral when shifting into or out of 4LO.

Mine never flickered but you can just buy an anti flicker module on Amazon they plug in between the light and the Jeep wiring harness. Fairly cheap too on Amazon

Ok do you need to depress the clutch when putting it in 4wd? Also when shifting into 4hi do you need to be in neutral and pressing in the clutch? So basically does the clutch have to be depressed when shifting and for 4 hi do you need to be in neutral to shift? These questions apply for a manual. Thanks

@SmokinMonkeyOG 10 ай бұрын

I drive a manual too. You don’t need to press the clutch ever to change the transfer case settings. From 4hi to 2hi and the other way around you can be moving at speed and shift at anytime. For 4lo to 4hi and 4hi to 4lo you always need to be stopped and in neutral

@reedcarpenter2994 10 ай бұрын

@@SmokinMonkeyOG ok cool. So from 2hi to 4hi or vice versa do you need your transmission shifter to be in neutral? You mentioned having that in neutral at some point. Ok just reread it. So only when shifting from 4 low to 4 high and vise versa you need the transmission shifter in neutral? Sorry getting confused with the transmission shifter and gear box neutral.

@reedcarpenter2994 10 ай бұрын

What happened when it broke? Was it drivable?

@SmokinMonkeyOG 10 ай бұрын

If you break an axle shaft in the rear it’s not drivable because the wheel will literally fall off. The shaft is what holds the wheel on and if it breaks you need to get a tow

@SmokinMonkeyOG Жыл бұрын

Actually you can shift from 2h to 4h while moving just let off the throttle and shift and you’re good. If you do stop you don’t need to engage neutral for 2h and 4h only when going from 4L to 4h you need to be in neutral otherwise it’s fine to be moving
