    No reverse 2wd or 4wd high but ok 4wd low

    make sense? 4405: brown wire energizes the xfer case clutch in 4wd high and low, the shift fork moves the range gear from high to low. Therefore: 2wd = shift fork in high gear = towards front of case AND no power to clutch 4high = shift fork in high gear = towards front of case AND clutch...

    No reverse 2wd or 4wd high but ok 4wd low

    If the shift rail problem can prevent reverse in high but not low can I just remove the 4wd components in the xfer case and make it 2wd?

    No reverse 2wd or 4wd high but ok 4wd low

    How does the shift rail prevent reverse from working in high but not low? Is it possible I'm getting reverse in low only with the front wheels? I opened the original xfer case tonight. Had a shift pad in pcs but the fork and the oil pump looked ok. However, the shift rail boss looked oval even...

    Rebuilt 5r55e reverse not working

    I'll pick up a pressure tester and take some readings. If the pressure is normal in all gears re:thread on how to use the pressure tester, then should I start looking at the xfer case? IF pressure is low in reverse (my problem area) would that more likely be the modulator valve...

    Rebuilt 5r55e reverse not working

    Topped off fluid. Same problem. Got very little reverse in 2wd - about 10'. Same with 4wd high. With 4low I get adequate reverse. Is this likely a tranny issue or a xfer case isssue?

    Rebuilt 5r55e reverse not working

    5r55e reverse issues I found this forum trying to solve a tranny issue: funky reverse. I want to thank all of you, especially Glacier, for the information and experiences shared. Before reading the forum I would not have attempted to do anything with a VB but you guys and the diary gave me...
