New Member NEED HELP!
« on: April 29, 2007, 10:14:49 AM »
Just bought a 87 sam. I put the transfer case in neutral and used a tow bar to tow it home. Now at home the transfer case will not come out of neutral. I start it up work the clutch , place it in gear , rock it ,noting seems to work. When I look at the drive shafts both turn (front and rear together) when the vehicle moves but the trans will not engage.  Before I towed I placed the trans in gear and moved the transfer case shifter until the vehicle moved freely.  Did I not have it neutral when I towed it?

Did a search and found some go info. I pulled out the shifter aligned the notches and she is moving now! When I pulled out the shifter there was no sheet.

the sheet is a polyurethane or rubber bushing under the shifter

I would have guessed the shifter sheet also. People have been known to pick up Samurais dirt cheap because the shifter sheet has gone bad and the owner thinks that there is a major transfer case problem!
