chances are there is something loose in the transfer case. If you check and find out that is true then you may need to get a new transfer case.
No. The 4WD transmission has a different tail shaft assembly because the transfer case bolts directly to it.
No...it's all-time 4 wheel drive.You would have to disassemble the drive shaft ,which in turn would leave you with no 4 wheel drive at all.
move the lever in to 2 wheel drive If you do not have a 2wd position, it has to stay in 4wd.
first off i am not a professional but i do no you would have to get a front axel out of a 4x4 and also a transfercase and maybe the transmission it would be alot of work but if you can get the parts cheap enough it would be worth the time which it would take awhile to do it This is a BIG project, requiring significant skills. You need the axle, springs steering linkage, transmission, transfer case, both driveshafts. You need to make sure the gear ratio matches your existing rear axle, and in most cases it won't because of the different usages between a 4 wheel drive and a 2 wheel drive vehicle. You need the skills to mount the spring perches, replace the transmission, locate the mounting brackets for the transmission and transfer case, and set up and align the steering. This is critical, because it will affect how it drives down the road, so it affects safety. So, can it be done, YES, . .however, if you have to ask the question HOW, you need to refer it to professionals, and at that point, you are probably better off buying one that it already 4wheel drive, rather than trying to convert.
if the vehicle is all wheel drive i would not suggest taking the front drive shaft out and leave it out and drive with out it due to the transfer case is designed to have resistance and with out the driveshaft you would have no resistance and could cause very expensive and major damage. if you are looking to replace the drive shaft there are are 8 bolts total the should be an 8mm size bolt for the socket or wrench your using could also be 10mm. make sure to mark the drive shaft so you can put it back in the same way it came out and that is really important because the drive shaft is balance for the certain way it goes into the vehicle and if its not installed the right way then at 40mph it will shake really bad.
It would require removing the power transfer unit and replacing the transmission with the fwd only version.
Not usually, the four wheel drive is hooked up after the transmission. If you are having problems with your transfer case it will sound like the transmission because the transfer case is bolted to the back of the transmission. The four wheel drive operates independently from the transmission. If you have a bad transfer case that would cause locking in the drive line it could cause problems, but your vehicle is designed to use the four wheel drive and typical use of your four wheel drive won't cause damage to the transmission. It would be advisable to only use it as necessary because it will decrease your fuel economy by about 20%.
NO. You would also have to change the transmission and install a 2-wheel drive transmission. The center shaft in the 4-wheel drive transmissions are longer so the transfer case will work.
you probably didnt have it engaged properly. that's happened to me on my friends bronco.
The only way to get true 2-wheel drive would be to replace the transfer case.
Many times this type of issue is caused by the motor that changes the transfer from 2 to 4 wheel drive, they get stuck, another issue is dirty fluid, and your transfer case would need service.
No. The 4WD transmission has a different tail shaft assembly because the transfer case bolts directly to it.
The tailpiece on the 4x4 transmission allows the transfer case to be bolted to it The tail piece would have to be changed for a 2 wheel drive vehicle
The transfer case could have been jammed, such as by shifting int 4WD while wheels were slipping. If a pin bends, it can stick the transfer case in 4WD permanently.
I would say front wheel drive
First thing I would do is to trie puting it into drive or reverse to maybe it will kick in. If that doesnt work. You might have a bad 4 wheel drive selecter. Its a little black box on the side of the transfer case.
I am not an expert but the engine has absolutely, positively, nothing to do with 4wd. It is the transmission. In fact, it is really a transfer case that controls the 4wd.
