Thread: 4WD shifter kicks into neutral

    4WD shifter kicks into neutral

    When I get on the gas and have the shifter in anything other than D. , I let off the gas using the decel from the engine to slow me down and it kicked out of 4 hi into a neutral position. It only happens when I am at high rpm and slow down. So i had to pull over, put the gear selector in N, pull the emergency brake and put the 4WD back in high. Any ideas why this would happen???

    Maybe it wasn't fully engaged?

    It has happened 3 times now and i've made sure that it was fully enguaged. I even made sure and went out and tested it and it still popped out.

    Ahhh... a member from the 'nam.

    How are your engine/trans mounts?
    Can you crawl under the truck and see if any excessive movement of the engine/trans/t-case would cause the shift linkages to shift themselves?

    This sounds pretty serious, I'd get on a solution quickly before it pops into neutral at 80mph on the All American Exressway....
