Title: Feels like the brakes are on in 4WD
Post by: g35-coop on February 09, 2012, 07:47:47 AM: Why does it feel like that? Every time I push in the clutch it stops like im putting on the brakes.

Post by: jzap on February 09, 2012, 03:18:19 PM: Have you checked tire pressure. Even a small difference in tire pressure can cause enough of a size difference to bind up an axle in 4WD.

Post by: Skyhiranger on February 09, 2012, 05:30:05 PM: Are you 100% sure you have the same gears in both axles?
Have you put the vehicle up on jackstands (or at least had all 4 tires off the ground), with it in 4wd and spun each tire to see if there is any excessive drag on any tire?
