Why do I ask you ask? I took the gear box solonoid out and cut the little pin, since I was stuck in park, now I cant shift the T-case from hi to low.   Bill Bettridge (Billb) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Billb Post Number: 1291 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Tuesday, December 16, 2003 - 08:59 am:    Yes -there are two. The one for the shifter is mounted inside the shifter housing and the one of the Tcase is mounted in a housing with 4-bolts on top of the case. This one you can just remove entirely - no need to cut off the pin.

It's a pain in the ass because it is way back on the right and takes an interesing combination of 1/4" drive universals to get all 4 bolts out that hold the housing on. Doesn't help that the threads are always gooped up with form-a-gasket and you have to drive the bolts all the way out (and they are ridiuclously long for what their purpose is!). Disconnect electrical connector and pull out solenoid entirely, then reseal the housing with RTV.

It's a good idea to just disable/remove both so they don't leave you stuck somewhere - IMO anyway.

Can you get to the solenoid thru the T-case shifter, or do I have to take out the auto shifter as well? thanks in advance
