Thanks xoc. I thought about what you said about not going into N on transfer, and realized you meant no pause in N. I saw your video and see what you mean, I'll do it that way next time. See, I thought I had it figured out, oh well, time to go home, I learned something for today.

I'm just wondering though, why is it that you can't put the transmission lever into park when the transfer case is in neutral ?
I did it by mistake when I first got my X, the transmission, not the transfer case, started to grind like crazy. It's the same grinding as if you put the transmission into park while the vehicle is moving. I didn't even know what to do back then, so I quickly switched off the engine.

It's because the transmission is sending power out the back to the transfer case. The transfer case is in neutral, so there is nothing stopping the output shaft of the transmission from turning.

Basically it's like you're driving slowly, and you shifted into Park.

Its there on all models actually, but its not very well written - hence all that confusion about not pushing head of transfer case. If it wont be for this board - i probably would be asking same question now cool

UM actually it shouldnt grind at all.... I have put mine into 4lo many times and never grind maybe you should read the manual again?? [Wave]
Neither do I, I have only used 4LO once and i didnt really NEED it but i thought i would put it in 4LO just to see if i could, no grinding i threw the lever really fast and cranked my hand on the cupholder because i threw it so hard. [Wave]

Just go into 4lo when you first hit the trails. Then you don't have to worry about it when you are on an incline and need it. Less trail damage is a good thing.

4hi is only good for snow or slippery roads not trails.
