:help:Well heres what i got. Its an 85 pickup with a 22r stock 5-speed trans and stock t-case with stock gears. My problem is every once in a while when i drive my truck in 4 hi when i go to shift back into 2wd at a complete stop in N i cant shift it back into 2wd. So i have to push the shift lever as hard as i can and when it finaly goes into 2wd all u hear is a clunk but than everything is fine.
Any idea on what would cause this or if this is normal? or is there a certain way to do this? All my previous trucks were all push button.
i can assure you after abusing the shift forks in such a way all is NOT fine the cause is you driving in 4wd on hard surfaced roads, it is not designed to drive like a "push button car" NEVER drive with it in 4hi or 4 lo on hard surfaces, whether it be hard packed clay, granite or asphalt DONT DRIVE IN 4HI ON HARD SURFACESif it binds up again just back up till it smoothly slides into 2wdNEVER FORCE THE SHIFTER
Mine shifts hard like you say, but I've found all I have to do if it won't shift back to 2wd while stopped is push on the shifter a little and start slowly driving forward like toyotaaddict said. Usually only takes a few feet.
Unlike an open diff when it binds the spider gears will turn and release the bind. If you have a locker it will ratchet when it binds. A spool will scuff the tires to fix the bind. Now your tcase cannot release the bind that occurs from front to rear since both the front and rear turn at the same time. If you were to jack the front off the ground that would release the bind but since you have hub locks you can just turn them to the open position. Or you can just back up until the bind is reversed. Unlike AWD vehicles that have a slip feature intigrated into the tcase a Toyota tcase is a direct drive and there is no slip. Most importantly if you drive on dry pavement with it in 4wd anything and the hubs are locked you are asking for a failure.
