Shifting Procedure 2WD to 4 PART TIME or 4 PART TIME to 2WD Shifting between 2WD and 4 PART TIME can be made with the vehicle stopped or in motion. If the vehicle is in motion, shifts can be made up to 55 mph (88 km/h). With the vehicle in motion two momentary releases of the accelerator pedal may be required after shifting. This will induce a torque interrupt and allow full engagement of the newly selected position. With the vehicle stationary it may be necessary to shift the automatic transmission from D (Drive) to R (Reverse) and back to D (Drive) after shifting. This will allow full engagement of the newly selected position. Apply a constant force when shifting the transfer case lever. 4 PART TIME to 4 FULL TIME or 4 FULL TIME to 4 PART TIME Shifting between 4 PART TIME and 4 FULL TIME can be made with the vehicle stopped or in motion.
