Transfer case not shifting into Neutral or 4 Low

[6 Nebraska IDIs]

Anyone else had this problem?
It wont go into Neutral, thus it wont go into 4 low.

 

[MUDKICKR]

which transfer case is it? if its a np 208 it sounds like its low on fluid, but then again i had a np208 that went low on fluid and would go into neutral then locked itself into 4 low damn junk np208 if only i knew someone close with a divorced 205

Im not sure what model it is, but I am pretty sure its a BW.
Its in my brothers 94 with a ZF5.

Thats really weird. And it should be a BW 1356 transfer case, but I might be wrong. Do you suppose that somethign is blocking the linkage from moving, ie a rock or somthing?

It should be a BW 1356 transfer case, check the linkage it probably is rusted and will have to be taken apart heated and sprayed with Rust Buster, Liquid wrench or penatrating oil. I had this same problem a week ago with my truck when I had the transmission replaced.

Pull the boot loose inside the truck and squirt some oil on the shifter and then start working it back and forth. Mine dose the same thing, poor design.

same problem

had same problem yesterday, lots of gear clashing, shifted trans to neutral, then reversed about 10ft. got into low, then could not get back out. had to shut off engine for a few seconds, allowing spinning gears to stop, then finally got back to 4wd high. this is a part time project truck, have not used 4wd drive in a year, have not checked fluid level either, so can't complain, just wonder if this shifting problem is a common thing?

On the '92+ shifters, it is a sealed tube thinger that can lockup with lack of useage. Fix is to remove it and if I remember right it can be taken apart to be lubed.
