Sign up here!   Email This Post Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Car Troubleshooting dipity New User Jul 25, 2014, 6:09 AM Post #1 of 3 (1356 views) 1998 Jeep - Oh god. What have I done? Sign In 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 5.2L V8 250,000 miles Beside the gearshift there is a lever to switch the vehicle between 4 high and 4 low. This lever was pulled down to 4 low while the car was in motion at about 15mph. After a lot of loud grinding noises, the vehicle will no longer shift into gear (starts up fine and lets me move the gearshift, but no power to the wheels in any gear) What part(s) are most likely damaged? Am I going to have to replace the transmission? Thanks in advance for your time.

Sign In Not the trans specialist but lever on floor should go directly to transfer case and it had a problem. Not sure what the weakest part(s) would be for this. I could hear your screaming at the grinding noise and NO that isn't good. Unless you are really into gearbox/trans work this will take a trans shop (best usually) to find the extent of the problem. IDK for sure but regular trans should be fine this is about parts that ADD the front wheels in this and "HI" or "LO" selection and an "N" if like what I think and it's in "N" now broken there unless you got lucky and linkage just fell off or something, T T Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jul 25, 2014, 7:41 AM Post #3 of 3 (1335 views) Re: 1998 Jeep - Oh god. What have I done? Sign In I would suspect that you just have the transfer case in neutral. Try to shift it into 2 wheel hi again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
