Just what the title says. Ever since I bought the CRD in Sept. it's always had a difficult time shifting into AWD mode. Last few days have been rain slick, so I used the 4Full for a couple days. Seems now, when I shift back to 2wd it gets stuck in 4hi. 4AWD works better than ever, but now gets stuck in 4hi when going back to 2wd. Even grabed a wrench and forced the linkage as far back as possible and still took alot of back and forth side to side neutral reverse in both the t-case and tranny to finally get the thing to uncouple. No bind or stiffness in the shift lever. Lubed all that to make sure. Something seems wrong ion the t-case itself. I of course did a search, but this sites search function is terrible.

Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The 242 / select trac transmission is controlled by a cable and a couple springs, are you sure it's stuck in 4-hi? Maybe it's just the 4x4 indicator switch is bad which would case the insturment cluster to display the wrong setting [while the mechanical linkage is still doing what it's supposed to]

If you are stuck in 4-hi, the KJ's front tires should be hopping and scrubbing all over the place while you try to take a corner.

Yeh, believe me i know it is. I'm no noob. The light indicates the exact position of the lever, but t-case remained in 4wd. I did get it to finally go into 2wd, but like I said, with alot of effort.

Common problem with the 242 t-case since the shifter only activates checkballs that actually shift the t-case.Try changing the t-case fluid and use 4wd more often to help free up the stuck inards.

also make sure all tires match including pressure and wear.
any stress on the driveline will cause it to not shift.
