 Subject: NV233 transfer case giving me problems
IP: Logged
Message:
I've been having a little trouble lately with my NV233 transfer case. I gets into 4HI no problem but doesn't like to come out to easy ( I only shift as maximum allowable speed, usually much much slower, or in neutral all together). As of right now when I put the selector switch into 2WD the 4HI indicator LED stays on, and the 2WD indicator LED flashes (I'm assuming this means the selector switch has sent the signal, but the shift motor is not responding). I have had it in the past where, when putting it into 2wd, the selector switch indicator LED's show the transfer case to be into 2WD, but 2 or 3 miles down the road I get a big clunk, which I'm assuming is the transfer case actually going into 2WD. Also, I've had this problem once or twice before, but it seems to limit itself to the cold winter months. I was thinking at first that something could just be frozen, but it'll happen everyone in a while on long drives when everything should be a operationg temperatures. Could it me the mode sensor on the side of the transfer case on its way out? Another thing I noticed is every once in a while when I do a reverse donut in the snow in 4HI I smell a hint of transfer case oil (it's definately transfer case or transmission, not motor). I'm wondering if that is linked to the problem aswell, or if some oil just got out of the vent and onto the exhaust or something. Anyways, any input/help would be great.
