1984 BJ42 Tcase problem

[Radd Cruisers]

Under extreme load on a steep hill and pushing the tire into a rock makes the tcase popout and make a buzz sound like gears spinning against each other.

Could it be popping out of low rage due to linkage adjustment????

By the way I will post up pics, but today was my first day back in the seat of a 42 and I cannot tell you how much fun I am having. My kids just loved it and I still cannot get over were a stock BJ can go.


We are heading back out on the trail tomorrow, been years since I wheeled, the BJ60 was just plain to big and long for our trails.

If it's a factory installed unit, the tub is usually well clearanced to avoid this issue. I would be more inclined to think it is either the tension on the hi- lo fork or slop on the fork and hi-lo sleeve.

If you have the split case, you should be able to pull the access plug to the spring and replace it with a longer or stiffer spring. If that doesn't work, then a new hi-lo sleeve is probably in order.

I agree with Mark. Try tensioning up the spring on the shift fork first...

As above but check all motor mounts. Bad mount will let the drive line move, linkage stays in place, pops outta gear. Disconnect the linkage, put it in 4WD and see what happens.

I am guessin Mark means the spring that holds the detent ball which locks the shifter from popping out of gear or moving while driving?

The case is a split and it does have the plug on the side.

Thanks

Rob,

Read this thread and see how humper99 fixed his problem:

This is why I'm afraid your solution for the HZJ45 vacuum to manual shift wouldn't work. I think you may still have to swap the 4wd control rod to the manual version.
