Putting into 4 Wheel drive

Apparently, it needed one more whack.

 

There is no issue with shifting into low from natural on the Tcase. If you're experiencing grinding you need to shift faster

 

then why stop on N at all? That's the point, go directly from 4H to 4Lo, or 4Lo to 4H, and don't stop at N on the transfer case for the purpose of shifting between the two modes.

 

No, you stop and put the transmission in N. Then shift the TC from 4H to 4L (yes, this lever moves past a N position as well).

 

Read my original post and it will be abundantly clear to you I was referring to N on the transfer case shifter. But if you are just here to argue semantics, have at it.
