Transfer Case Grinding on High/Lo Change

[FareGame]

Hi

Anyone experienced issues when going from High to Low or Low to High and the gears making a grinding noise (quiet not loud)

Is it just a adjustment in the control, also the lock on the lever is very hard to move

Locking the centre works fine - except for that lock

I’ve tried another one and its perfectly fine and smooth (they lent me a loaner)

Dealer is looking at it - but anyone have any information to help

I found like many others that the actuator cable had become unclipped on the underside. Securing it correctly made it smoother.

Bingo - was that and some adjustment on cable

Thanks

so are these grinding episodes harmful?

Has happened to me three times now.

Yes, first few times I tried going from high (unlocked) to Low ( unlocked). Found that going from high (unlocked) to high (locked) and then down to Low (locked) was easier. Hoping it gets easier with use. If not will ask the dealer to investigate.
