Pooparu Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 My ea82 transmission is stuck in 4wd and when I have it in neutral up on my tow dolly the back wheels are stuck. It's acting like it's in gear but it's not, and I can't get the damn thing out of 4wd. Any idea why this might be happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zyewdall Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Pushbutton or dual range 4wd? If it's pushbutton, maybe the vaccum solinoid has died and won't pull it back into 2wd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pooparu Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 No one else has ever had this problem? I guess once I get the car running I'll mess around with it but it's the strangest thing. Maybe once it gets driving it'll pop back out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamakazisubee Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Doe's the trans shift into different gears ? if so try backing up while shifting out of 4wd good luck JOE:Flame: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pooparu Posted April 17, 2007 Author Share Posted April 17, 2007 Yes, the car shifts in and out of gears. I'll try that.

Sweet82 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Sometimes they get a bit cranky in their old days. Backing up usually un-binds the tranny enough to allow you to shift out of 4wd with out much effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoodsWagon Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 or if you jack up one wheel and let it spin, you should be able to pop it out of 4wd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milemaker13 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Are your tires the same size? My loyale didn't want to pop out before I got new tires (all the same size this time:headbang: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I'm not sure whats going on here, but have you attempted jacking one rear wheel off the ground to release the tension in the drive line? nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pooparu Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 he-he. No, I haven't tryed that yet. I also wasn't sure if it had anything to do with my EJ22 swap. As soon as I get the car back from wiring I'll try all of that stuff. I just thought it was weird that we pushed it up on the tow dolly just fine, but when we started pulling it the back wheels locked up. I ended up just pulling the drive line to make it roll. Thanks for the help, and I try to jack one rear wheel off when I get it back.
