    But just to be clear, you put the broken piece back on, right?

    It's not temporary. You'll never have to worry about it again.

    In theory, yes. Just do it in loose substrate, or if no choice but to hit the pavement, drive in a near-straight line while activated to avoid binding.

    It should be as simple as tapping the 4HI button while moving, it'll flash for a sec, then go solid if successful.

    If not, try stopping, drop into reverse and tap 4HI.

    If nothing still, I can point you at a flurry of troubleshooting suggestions.

    Shifting into 4LO requires being in 4HI first and foremost, fully stopped in Neutral, and tap 4HI.

    It worked! I have a bunch of gravel alleys behind my house so I drove around a couple of those and engaged 4hi perfectly! Thank you all!!

    NP, hopefully CoPart does you right on either getting a new TC or a new TC cover, or at least compensating you. That's total BS this happened, be thankful the truck driver caught this and snapped prompt pics while the oil was still oozing out!

    Amazing, makes me feel more inspired to fight for some compensation. The MVP was truly the driver he was this amazing dude with the heaviest Russian accent.

    @Legionnaire I see you've been on here recently, what ever ended up having to do with this.
