TeraFlex Tip: Transfer Case Jammed? Here's a quick how-to on transfer case shifting.

[@bryancollins8796]

Watched from the front seat of my Jeep, and saved me from a ruined day, I wasn't going anywhere. Thanks!

[@johnwalkowiak5766]

Thank you for the help was stuck in 4 wheel drive low this morning after a beautiful snow storm . Watching this video helped me solve the problem

[@Portknoxxking]

I’ve been watching a bunch of these 4WD videos all day and this is the best one so far even more informational than mopars video

[@teraflexsuspensions]

Glad it was helpful!

[@strikinglime6874]

Dennis, thank you sir for the tap trick. Had a calm second approach to getting this jeep back together.

[@full_metal2452]

Finally what I've been way for!! What you demonstrated cleared any issues I've had in the past. Thank you very much👍

[@atomiclife9900]

great info , I was having this same problems , Everything alright now

[@tgmotz]

Full of great info. I'll stop abusing my jeep.

[@kylemoss4703]

Thanks for posting this, it's actually quite helpful!

[@pierrepoitras1798]

Thx! I had my tcase stuck a few times on the trail and I always wondered if it was a mechanical problems. Keep making great vids TF!

[@carbonjohnson3058]

I have a JL Rubicon and this worked like a champ (while in park, engine running). Thank you for posting.

[@grahamwicker2770]

Have you ever had the gears grind while switching from 4H to 4L with it in drive?

[@teraflexsuspensions]

@@grahamwicker2770 You may hear some grinding when shifting from 4H to N to 4L. Using the bounce technique and not applying a ton of pressure all at once should help.

[@stevemajor1110]

@@grahamwicker2770 Yes mine is a real bear even with this video it s VERY hard to get it in neutral for towing behind my camper 2018JLU

[@twinstar818]

Very familiar with that sound and trouble going to 4lo sometimes. Sometimes it pops out of 4lo too while crawling.

[@joebaseball4752]

Yep I can’t believe I have to do this on my Jeep. On my old Jeep I just got our and locked the front hubs. Drove on. Heck even on my Ford excursion same thing. Why did I have to pay so much for something that is such a pain! I have tried everything you have said sometimes it still will not go!

[@stevemajor1110]

I have owned a large number of 4X4 trucks and never before did I have one this damn hard to shift!

[@prestond]

Really glad I came across this video. I was having a hard time getting into 4 low over the weekend. I do wonder why it's this complicated though? On my 2006 FJ it wasn't nearly this challenging. Oh well, I'm having more fun in my Rubicon, so...

[@JeepJeep234]

bigntallxx Toyota uses a different transfer case that is easier to shift because the gear ratio is higher than the Jeep. It's a 2.56to1 or something like that. The Rubicon uses a 4.1 to 1 and the Sahara/X have a 2.72 to 1. Taller gears are easier to shift into than lower gears.

[@ethans7682]

JeepJeep234 Actually Toyota uses top shift mechanisms, they’re way smoother than any Jeep. I’m not hating I have a tj rubicon but the ease of shifting between Toyota’s j-shift and any wrangler is night and day difference. In my Tacoma I can shift in/out of low/hi/2/4 smooth as butter moving or not. I attribute it to top shift vs cable shift

[@chrisgatti7952]

wow I'm green to the 4wd so of course the wrangler world thought I bought someone else's problem! glad to see its 100% normal.

[@wjfawb0]

After experiencing modules going bad and computers refusing to shift on F150s and Silverados, I'm just glad to have a lever and cable that directly shift the transfer case on my wrangler. Not many vehicles allow that anymore, and it's sad. I keep spare plastic bushings in my glove box and tools in the back in case I decide to animal out.

[@DJMEGAMIKE312]

lol

[@fredrechidmyleg]

Thanks for this. I was stuck in neutral while changing out my rear driveshaft. After watching this video I realized I just needed to start it up and put it in gear once on the ground.

[@robertfarnese2921]

Had this issue .... found your video and saved me ..... thanks so much

[@teraflexsuspensions]

Great to hear!

[@JahkiBoy]

The cable information is what helped me out in this video. Just signed for a used JK and four hours later it left me stranded, it seems the cable disconnected from the transfer case

[@teraflexsuspensions]

Glad you found it useful!

[@supersami7748]

By not forcing it you also eliminate most of the problems with the world famous cheap plastic bushing on the TFC shifter arm.

[@chainpullers3544]

Such a good information, pulled me out of the fear, Thank uh so much😄😄

[@Big-Foot-Randy]

There’s an Engineer at Jeep that needs to get his Butt Kicked over the grief he has caused Jeep JK Owners... I hope the JL guys don’t have this same arrangement... It’s a 50k truck and this shifter should move smooth as butter into all ranges like my TJ shifter does... Thanks for the tips!

[@FunkyELF]

Great video... good to know. Planning on getting my first Wrangler whenever the new JLs come out. Hopefully not too much has changed other than the cosmetics.

[@stevemajor1110]

There are huge changes between JK and JL

[@AZ-JKUR-HR]

Nice red seats! Who made them? Thanks

[@Lacerda0010]

Thanks! Very helpful. Just bought mine and don’t want to start breaking things due to ignorance.

So helpful, thank you very much.

Omfg I just now got it stuck and now that I’ve watched it I don’t have to worry any more. Thanks for this video. I would’ve never figured it out

This video saved me a beating from my pops :))

[@teraflexsuspensions]

[@trackstar1able]

Thanks i thought I was the only one that ran into this problem sometimes I was scared because I would hear a little grinding and I was like crud I think I messed it up.

[@grahamwicker2770]

like 3 seconds worth? my engine light came on

[@hugosoriano6844]

Omg thanksss man it help me out I had it stuck in 4 low and couldn’t get it back to 2

[@jean-francoisdesrosiers9645]

Really nice tips for this precious transfer case, thanks! When reading the manual, they say not to pause at neutral when going from 4H to 4L, and from 4L to 4H (page 457 last paragraph). However, I happen to often stop at neutral when going back to 4H, even if I am trying not to. Is that really a problem?

[@stevemajor1110]

Same here.

[@tylerbradley8867]

Thank God u just saved my life

[@osallivan231]

so while the t-case is in N, you can't shift to P while engine is ON... it makes some grinding noise, as you showed. So you switch the engine OFF, then you shift into P.... then you turn the key to shift back into N without starting the engine... Question IS - what happens if you start the engine while being in P with t-case on N??? I bet it's nasty...

[@teraflexsuspensions]

I bet you are right.

[@jerrymcgeorge4117]

There’s always the advance Adapters cable for the animals out there!🤣

[@beastify3876]

What if my parking break is stuck and won’t go into nutuel

[@dennisc8664]

Awesome! Thanks. I was wondering if something was wrong with mine. Nope, I’ve been doing the same thing you just described. Having owned older 4 wheels I expected that but wrongly thought a new Jeep should just slid on in. Lol!

[@markuswells2770]

Thank you so much for this video. Very helpful!

[@alexgarcia7732]

I am interested in those seats. Where are they from?

[@chickenBOB226]

Is that grinding ok though?!?! i don't want to break anything, i find it difficult that jeep would be ok with that grinding every time you shift to 4-LO, I have found it best if your moving 2-3 MPH when shifting to 4-LO.

[@MultiEmoto]

I come to a stop, so that I get no grinding. Every time I try shifting into 4Lo while moving, it grinds and I hate that. Grinding the gears is NOT ok.

[@Offshore1977]

Great tip. Keep em coming

[@Tailgatesntoolboxes]

Can u go from 2h to 4h while it's in park? Also getting out of 4h. To 2h....do I need to stop n go reverse for like 10 feet?

[@teraflexsuspensions]

Yes, you sure can as long as you stay conservative on your speed. Around 50 MPH is fine to go between 2H and 4H. Nope, don't need to reverse, everything should sync up in drive for 2H and 4H. But you should be in N to go into 4L .

[@mikewhite6910]

Any advice for owners of Wranglers with manual transmissions?

[@JeepJeep234]

Mike White You probably won't have that problem. And if you do, just take it out of gear, and let off the brake a let it roll a tiny bit. It will unbind itself.

[@Wingsource]

Great little guide :D

What happened to Jen?

[@emmaueltzhoffer6347]

Life saver!

[@FlipMore]

But wasn’t that always the case? The only way to go 4L in any 4x4 vehicle was to stop, neutral, then go low? Or am I missing it?

[@txgamer1347]

Nope, you're right, that has always been the case.

[@iTubeVegas]

Are these factory seats?

[@jacobborowiec9044]

Thank you so much!!!

[@RP-xk8ji]

I had to fight mine for like 5 minutes one day thanks for the tips.

[@outsidelife4382]

Good tips brother

[@JeepJeep234]

Much easier with a manual transmission. If it gets bound. Left off the brake a little and when it rolls it will mesh.

[@pallendo]

Or, let the car roll just a tiny bit in neutral and slide it right on in. Manual transmission helps with this, as well. I'll roll the car forward at 2-3mph, push in the clutch, and pull the lever down to 4L and away we go.

[@elchile007]

That’s the best advise.

[@richieprice6067]

[@mtnmist1]

Good tip; thanks!

[@lvmybears]

Great job

[@98silver98]

manual is even easier cause you can put gear in neutral and press clutch as well. main thing to realize is things have to be turn for the shafts to mesh. things are rotating in neutral with clutch in and then when you press clutch they still have a little spin but not as much power which make them mess quite easy

[@osamaelhawat2766]

Thanks.

[@papasmurfpackers75]

I love you!

[@abcdefg8059]

Ok that was as clear as mud

Lifesaver! This just got me unstuck! o|||||||o

[@fadedQ]

Good thing my Jeep is manual haha

[@txgamer1347]

The same thing happens even in manuals ;) It is a bit easier to shift the transfer case in a manual though. All you have to do is press in the clutch to go to Neutral and 4L

[@kallenm727]

I have a manual and it sticks when the jeep is stationary. The instruction manual explains you should be able to engage 4H in park but it doesn't always work for me. Mine is still under warranty so I might let the guys mess around with it on my last dealership oil change. I have no problem getting into N or 4L once im in 4H though, I guess every jeep is different.

[@weslly]

Awesone video!!!

Really..this is normal. 🤔 45k car

I take it you drive a benz and have never gotten stuck on a trail.

[@KidKobe210]

obviously doesn’t offroad considering he’s calling the Jeep a “truck”.

[@JeepJeep234]

You must not know much about vehicles.

[@jameshairyknuckles1655]

Lol how to carefully drive a cheaply made Fiat without breaking it .😂😂😂😂

[@Reverend1776]

Annnnnnd.......Toyota! Shift to neutral, press into 4low, and shift to drive! No bounce and banging and back and forth.

[@JeepJeep234]

Craig Wexler some people actually want to get over obsticals though. That's why we drive Jeeps.
