    4wd hi works, everything 4wd hi works fine, but when i put it in low it just beeps and beep and beeps. Sometimes if you turn the truck off and do it while the truck is off it'll kick in, not very often though

    Just to clarify, you're at a stop with the clutch in/transmission in neutral before switching to 4lo right?

    Yes. Tried a multitude of different ways to try and get it into 4lo

    Well that's really the only way to do it, the truck can't be moving when going into 4lo. In my '04, I can either push the clutch in and shift to 4lo, or I can have the trans in neutral...it's technically the same thing but I've heard on the newer trucks you have to do both.

    Anyway, if that's not working then I'm not sure what to tell ya...hopefully someone else can chime in on the issue

    For me it works best when already in 4hi and rolling at 1 - 2 mph with clutch down - neutral - clutch up - clutch down and hold - switch to 4lo - shift into 1st - clutch up

    You sure you're pushing the clutch ALL the way down to the floor? You have to mash it and make sure the interlock switch is engaged.

    Yeah, don't pay to replace it with the same stuff. If it breaks get the tcase from a FJcruiser

    Que? I'm pressing the clutch all the way to the floor.

    Already emailed and got a quote for everything. Plus to me it seems like the best option. Ya I could probably fix it cheaper for sure but how long before it breaks again ?
