Have you had the transfer dismantled?Do you have a problem as there is no timing involved.

Oh yes there is timing involved for the stupid little slave divice that changes your transfer case from 2 to 4 wheel drive ! Unlike a lot of american autos this one has to be put back together and in time according to the dealer !

OK, I did look at the transfer on Mitchel 1 and did not see anything, that is why I suggested that there was no timing, I will go back and re read a bit more carefully and see what I can find,

In Mitchel 1 for that year it only shows constant 4X4, not sure what is going on.

I am assuming that the actuator on the transfer case has been taken apart. Do you mind asking why was it taken apart. Improper operation? Leak? Or something else. As far as I know, there is not a procedure for timing the gear to the shaft. It only a matter of trial and error. And mostly error
