How does the transfer case work in a 2wd car?
Driving the vehicle in 2WD has all torque flowing through the transfer case to the rear driveshaft, and the vehicle operates just like a 2WD vehicle.
How to turn shift shaft on transfer case?
When I went to put the encoder motor with the new sensor back on, the notch on the shaft didn’t match up with the gear on the motor (which I had marked with a Sharpie, and was where it was when I took it off).
Why does my car shift from 2WD to 4 high?
If the gearshift shows 2WD and the vehicle is in 4 high, the most likely fault is either the transfer case shift linkage is faulty, or that the transfer case has an internal failure. The transfer case linkage is much more common.
What’s the best way to turn a transfer case?
However, the notch is pointing straight down (6 o’clock position) and I need to get to around 11 o’clock. I can turn it to about 9 o’clock, but as soon as I take the vice grip off it snaps back to 6 o’clock. I can’t get it to go past 9, even turning the rear driveshaft.

Is there a way to shift the transfer case?
Something to try is to make sure the transmission is in neutral and then try to turn the rear drive shaft with your hand at the same time to help shift the transfer case. That’s my 5 cents worth. Good luck and hope this works.

Why is my transfer case not working in my car?
The issue can be attributed to outside influences (e.g., a problem with the differential or driveshaft) or it might be due to an internal transfer case concern. There are many reasons why a vehicle’s 4WD system won’t engage or disengage.
