how to manually shift my transfer case?
I have a 2000 F350 Super Duty 4wd 7.3. The drive train acts like it is in neutral. My mechanic told me to see if I can manually shift the transfer case. He believes it may have slipped into a neutral position. Can someone step me through this?
Thanks

I take it you have the electronic shift on the fly? If so, there is a motor on the side of the xfer case, 2 wiring harnesses and I beleive 3 10mm bolts, and it pulls off. that exposes a shaft that the motor normally shifts, a 9/16 open end wrench will fit it, and you can shift it manually that way. the bad news, there isn't a neutral position that i am aware of, was just the 3, 2hi, 4hi, 4 low when I did this with mine. Be sure to apply E brake and chock wheels for safety concerns though.
Hook it, I'll pull it.

You should be able to hear the motor run when you put it in 4x4. Clean the connections then see if the motor starts working. There is no neutral.
Are you sure it's not the transmission that is in neutral?

All gears of the trans. act like neutral. There were no symptoms leading up to the issue though. I was pulling away from a gas station and it just went into this neutral like mode. The rear drive shaft does not turn when in gear either. Just want to check as much as I can before I take it in and pay the big$.
Thanks

I was not so lucky. Did have road service on my insurance though. 60 mile tow job. Did you replace your transfer case with a rebuild? Roughly what is a cost on that type of repair?
Thanks for the info.

I got one from the junk yard for about 175 with all intentions on re building my old one. That was over a year ago and I'm still running the one from the junk yard.
