    Whoops....pesky 4wd stick

    I just got done installing my seat extenders (thank you mr. Tom) and cleaned everything up and put things back in the VX. A bit later, I went to grab something out of the back seat area I totally forgot that I put my window scraper half on the ground, half leaning against the center console. Long story short, sliding the seat up made the window scraper force the VX out of 4H into 4L. The VX was off and in Park. I immediately drove it around it moved it from low to high and everything seemed to be functional.

    sooooo.........

    did I hurt stuff?

    Stupid stupid stupid

    No worries - you can shift 4H - 4L and back in Neutral or Park. Sometimes easier in Neutral depending on the gear alignment.

    JAMAS,

    Glad the sliders went in OK. Sorry about the scare but I agree with the others, there shouldn't be any damage.

    What's a window scraper and what do you use it for ?
    There should be no harm done unless you broke the scraper.
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"
    and this voice came back and said..
    "He's not in, may we take a message?"
