is it possible (4406 question)

is it possible (4406 question) (trans mount question added)

I'm about to swap my 4404 for a 4406 but before I tear everything down, I have a question

on the bench I cannot engage 4lo
it seems to go from 2WD to N to 4Whi

but the shift pattern is 2WD to 4Whi to N to 4Wlo

WHAT GIVES?!?

I did the exact same test before I converted mine. The thing is the detents are very closely spaced.

I think what you may be doing is skipping 4hi. If you are saying it goes from 2hi to N then you are skipping 4 hi. Get a pry bar between the lever and the case and move it slowly and carefully for each selection to engage.

hmm well if thats the case then I might just install it and see how it goes.

when I drop it into 4lo it seems to move in a 1:1 ratio though and ths is what is throwing me off... maybe I need to rotate it a few times with marking and see if it really is

sure enough the detent doesn't engage as "firmly" as the others but it has 4Whi no problems

THANK YOU

I kept doing the same thing with my 4406 sittin in my garage and finally realized that it was LO that was past nuetral and to get to 4hi it had to be done very gently.

where do I get an upgrade trans mount? or can I only replace with a new rubber one?
