Won’t shift and back tires locked down

 

[Jeepwm69]

Welcome to the forum.

Need more info. Will it start and run, but just not move?

Does it try to pull at all like it's fighting the brake, or just rev?

 

[zack2009]

Cranks and runs fine it says it’s shifting but nothing happens it doesn’t bog down tho I jacked up the rear end and the tires won’t budge. 4 wheeler doesn’t move period

So if you put it in neutral will it roll or not?

Is the oil full? These run on oil pressure so if it's low on oil it won't move.

Did you buy it like this or is it something that suddenly happened?

 

[zack2009]

No it won’t roll period and bought it this way

The fact it won't even roll in neutral has me believing it has nothing to do with oil pressure or the hondamatic unit. The first 2 areas I would check if it were mine would be the sub-transmission (the part that determines F-N-R, this is separate from the hondamatic), and the front and rear diffs. Make sure it is in N and 2wd, jack up all 4 tires, and see if any spin.

If you change the primary shifter positions while running, can you hear or feel it shift from N to F, F to N, and N to R? Report back after checking all that.

I think I'd be checking the rear brake first. I've seen some that the brake shoe material comes off and jams up the brake.


I agree with wheelsquad. Jack it up and see if any of them will spin at all. I'm guessing both fronts will, and both rear will not.

If that's the case make sure the brake in the rear isn't jammed up.

Exactly. I almost went back and edited my post right away to check the brakes. But figured that would also become obvious after jacking up and seeing what spins and what doesn't.

When you put it in drive. the 4 wheel drive light flashes 5 times but switch is in 2wheel position

If that helps

I don't have the service manual right in front of me, so not sure what that means in the moment. Still jack up all 4 at the same time and report back. Observe what the 4wd light is doing at that time as well.

5 blinks on 4wd light is front clutch error code.
