Transfer case fluid low?

I think this will be helpful to show you how the electric shift motor mounts and that you can remove it and shift by hand.

That and you have to have it in neutral and foot on the brake to shift into low don't you?

yea im not to worried about using 4x4 low just need high when i click on 4x4 high let out the cluch it engages then when u give it some throttle it pops out of 4x4 then repeats it self . u just hear a loud BANG when it pops out

Are u positive the bang isnt it popping in?

pretyy sure cuz i was on ice took off in 1st gear 4x4 got great traction than bang spinning like crazy so it seems to pop out

o got into 4w low and i can go through all 5 gears fine with no pop out like it does in 4w high if that makes diagnosing the problem easier
