Shifting from 4lo to 2hi

[jmbrodsky@domain.elided]

The IH manual (service or owners) say that this grinding is 
called wind-up or wind-down depending on sound.  The way to 
eliminate this is to shift the transmission from Reverse to Drive 
back and forth with a gentle but firm pressure on the transfer 
case shifter.  You must come to a stop to shift out of 4lo, but 
if you're in 4lo you're prolly not going fast anyway.  I know 
that since I played a whole afternoon in 1992 after getting stuck 
in some mud, I have been able to perform flawless quiet shifts, 
from any gear to any other, without shutting off, or getting out.

      The np205 in the T'all is another story.  The shifter link 
is so sloppy that I have perfected shutting it off in 
neutral(transmission) while rolling (~30mph+) and shifting from 
4lo into 2 hi, then start the truck again.  It shocked my GF's 
little bro this past weekend.  He thought the engine kept dying.

     Try to get ahold of a genuine scout Owner's manual, it 
really is pretty descriptive.
