The pic on the dash looks like its saying put •••••• into neutral, dont go over 5mph and shift the L-H lever into N then L. I cant get the lever to budge out of H. So now I am thinking somethings wrong with the transfer case. Please tell me I am doing something wrong.   Steve Cooper (Scrover) Member Username: Scrover Post Number: 218 Registered: 09-2002 Posted on Wednesday, March 05, 2003 - 10:13 am:    Should be easy if you're rolling forward, transmission in neutral, push firmly on the H-L shifter - sometimes really firmly. If you're not moving, it's very tough.   David Hobbs (Ca_surveyor) New Member Username: Ca_surveyor Post Number: 15 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Wednesday, March 05, 2003 - 10:29 am:    I have the same problem on my 88RRC. Also trying to lock in the transfer case, it feels like something is binding.   Rob Davison (Nosivad_bor) Senior Member Username: Nosivad_bor Post Number: 126 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, March 05, 2003 - 12:09 pm:    steve's advice is correct, slowly rolling with the main transmission shifter in "N" take the little knob and push it into low range. the difflock binding david is talking about is a seperate issue. davisd you will need to lubricate all the linkage to get your difflock lever to work. this might mean just a shot of PB blaster or you might have to take the console off and get in ther with a knife and lube and scrape the thing clean. DONT force it. do a search for more advice rd   angelo zervas (Aussie) New Member Username: Aussie Post Number: 13 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, March 05, 2003 - 02:00 pm:    I may have the same problem, mine just wont budge, I roll it in Neutral and it I have been firm but no go   David Hobbs (Ca_surveyor) New Member Username: Ca_surveyor Post Number: 16 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Wednesday, March 05, 2003 - 03:20 pm:    Rob-A little lube goes a long way. That took care of the sticking. I also found a zip tie that was hanging in the area that might have had something to do with it. Trimmed it down and got it out of the way. Thanks.   angelo zervas (Aussie) New Member Username: Aussie Post Number: 14 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Wednesday, March 05, 2003 - 04:15 pm:    I'll give it a try, thanks
