How to Shift into 4 Wheel Drive
 |
Shifter |
In the past I had a hard time shifting into 4L when I was on the trails. Every time my gears would grind which told me I was doing it wrong. I tried several different ways but the grinding continued. It was stressful every time I would go to shift to 4 low because I was nervous about ruining the gears.
I had several off-roaders show me the right way which coincides with the Jeep manual.

Step 1: While in Drive shift your transfer case to 4H.
Step 2: Once in 4H shift your transmission shifter into N.
Step 3: Now shift your transfer case shifter from 4Hi thru N to 4L.
It is possible to shift into our of of 4L with the vehicle completely stopped. However, it could be difficult because the teeth aren't properly aligned. Several attempts may be needed and a slow roll between 1 and 5 mph in neutral might be needed. Also shift quickly, don't drag it out. Some Jeeps engage better while slightly moving, and others lock in while stopped.

"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."
