is sufficiently warm, will demonstrate that the transmis-
sion is able to shift into, and out of, Overdrive. For
vehicles with 4.7L or 5.7L engines (which have two
Overdrive gears), the transmission may not shift into 5th
gear until the transmission fluid and engine coolant are
warm.
NOTE: If the vehicle has not been driven in several
days, the first few seconds of operation after shifting the
transmission into gear may seem sluggish. This is due to
the fluidpartially draining from the torque converterinto
the transmission. This condition is normal and will not
cause damage to the transmission. The torque converter
will refill within five seconds of shifting from PARK into
any other gear position.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION
NV 140 Transfer Case Operating
Information/Precautions – If Equipped
The NV140 is asingle speed (HIrange only) transfercase
which provides convenient full-time four-wheel drive.
No driver interaction is required.
Proper operation of four-wheel drive vehicles depends
on tires of equal size, type and circumference on each
wheel.Any difference in tire size cancause damage tothe
transfer case.
Because four-wheel drive provides improved traction,
there is a tendency to exceed safe turning and stopping
speeds. Do not go faster than road conditions permit.
